Moscow Exchange - Solid Defensive Play, BUY Reiterated

Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has published 2Q19 results and held a conference call. The numbers were broadly as we expected, albeit with a nice little bottom line beat on some realized trading gains. We remain positive on the stock, which as a defensive story has held up relatively well in the recent Russian market selloff, and given nice ongoing fee growth dynamics. We lower our 2019-21 EPS forecasts by up to 2%, trim our target price to R112 per share (from R113) but retain our BUY recommendation.
