Russian Gold Producers - We Raise Our TP for Polyus and Polymetal on Gold Price Upgrade

The gold price has gained 8% since the end of May, as financial markets might have started to price in a more prolonged US-China standoff, higher risks of a potential global growth slowdown and more monetary stimulus across key regions. This sets up a nice backdrop for gold prices and gold stocks. Using a scenario-based valuation, we increase our target price for Polyus by 27% to $56.00 per GDR and reiterate our BUY recommendation. We also raise our Polymetal target price by 24% to $13.15 per share and upgrade our recommendation from HOLD to a BUY.
