Yandex - Staying Sanguine

We reiterate our BUY rating on Yandex. We have cut our target price by 4% to $48.80 per share due to a negative FX effect, though this is partially offset by an upgrade to our Yandex.Taxi valuation. We consider Yandex to be in its best ever fundamental shape, with improved visibility over profitability in the taxi segment (which could make plans for an IPO more viable) and the monetization of initiatives such as Zen (an algorithmic news feed), Yandex.Auto (an automotive multimedia system) and Yandex.Station (a smart speaker) and the multimedia ecosystem surrounding it. We think the market should slowly but surely start to price this in, resulting in value appreciation for Yandex.
