WOOD Flash – Gazprom: takeaways from the Investor Days – moderately optimistic

Gazprom held its annual Investor Days in New York and London this week. Generally, we have positive impressions, especially relative to similar events held in the past. Our three main takeaways include: a better dividend for FY19E (about RUB 17.5/share, on our estimates); reasonable evidence of management’s efforts to improve efficiency and optimise costs; and, finally, it appears that the current gas supply glut may be more extended than we believed previously, which represents downside risks for our FY20E earnings estimates. We maintain our positive view on Gazprom, nevertheless, taking into account the ongoing corporate changes related to better capital allocation and cost management; however, we see more short-term risks for our earnings estimates on the back of weaker gas markets.
