MMK - 3Q19 IFRS Results In Line; Domestic Premiums Slow to Fade

MMK's 3Q19 financial results fell in line with our and consensus estimates. The company guides a 6% Q-o-Q decrease in sales volumes in 4Q19 and expects just a small decrease in the Russian domestic HRC price premium over the export benchmark. The latter could prove to be the case in the short term given the ongoing supply cuts in Russia (owing to overhauls of blast furnaces and HRC mills), which in turn may support the average realized prices of MMK (and Severstal) thanks to relatively high domestic exposure (compared with NLMK). At spot steel and bulks prices and the current USD/RUB rate, MMK is trading at a 2020E LFCF yield of around 8% and dividend yield (for dividends to be paid in 2020) of 9%.
