Yandex - It All Ads Up

Yandex's deal to merge its taxi business with Uber last week was unexpected and triggered a rerating. However, we think the upside surprises will not end there, because the market is underestimating the magnitude of the near-term share gains in the search ad market made possible by the antitrust settlement with Google. We upgrade our target price by 31% to $36.70 (by $8.8), based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation. The incremental contribution from taxi amounts to around $3.4 per share and another $3.4 comes from potential search share gains, with the rest being due to a stronger ruble modeled.
