WOOD Flash – Surgutneftegas: could be the best insurance policy in volatile markets

We reiterate our BUY rating on Surgutneftegas’ preferred shares and consider them the most attractive stock in a weak oil price environment. While there can be no certainty where the oil price will be for the rest of the year and what the RUB/USD rate will be at the year-end, chances are much higher now that oil will be lower than what we expected earlier this year, while the RUB will be weaker. Assuming a USD 35/bl average oil price and a RUB/USD rate of 75, we estimate a RUB 6.9/share dividend for the preferred shares, which translates into close to a 20% dividend yield.
