Rostelecom 2Q 20 results - Strong results, but likely not translating in higher DPS just yet

Rostelecom reported strong 2Q 20 P&L results, beating the consensus, although free cash flow dynamics were negative due to the working capital effect. The FY 20e revenue and OIBDA growth guidance of above 5% yoy looks conservative at the low end of the range and is likely to be increased. However, the free cash flow dynamics do not suggest DPS above the base level of RUB 5, which corresponds to a 5.1% yield and does not look overly attractive at the current price level.
