Norilsk Nickel - High Commodity Prices Offset Corporate Governance Risks

> Norilsk Nickel has recently decided to push forward its interim dividend payment for 1H17, while warning of a potential cut to the payout from the usual 60% of EBITDA. The message was confusing and is yet another reminder that the company's dividend targets have never been set in stone and that investors should focus more on valuation metrics than target dividend yields. However, despite the rising corporate governance risks, we believe the positive trend in nickel and palladium makes the current valuations rather attractive. We upgrade Norilsk Nickel to a "tactical" BUY and raise our target price to $19.90 per GDR
