Yandex - Draft Taxi Legislation Unlikely to Significantly Affect Operations

Draft taxi legislation was submitted to the Duma yesterday that was developed by a group of deputies led by a member of the Federation Council, Andrei Turchak, in cooperation with ride-hailing companies. The draft law is aimed at passenger safety and the overall development of the Russian ride-hailing industry. It does not set restrictions on pricing and should not affect the potential monetization of ride-hailing companies in any way. We view the proposed legislation as quite sensible. It would not entail any significant changes to Yandex.Taxi's operations, which are already almost fully compliant. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and $52.40 per share price target for Yandex.
