Gazprom(ise): still more upside (stays BUY)

In this report, we have raised our price target (PT) for Gazprom by 33%, to USD 8.7/GDR, to reflect stronger dividend distributions and a consequent improvement in capital allocation. We retain our BUY rating on the stock. We see Gazprom still offering a similar risk-reward profile, even after the 31% rise since 14 May 2019, as the downside risks are limited by the attractive 8% dividend yield; while the upside remains strong, underpinned by growing dividend payouts in the future (potentially reaching 50%, from the current 25%), P/E multiple expansion (on the back of better capital allocation, triggered by higher shareholder distributions) and, potentially, asset optimisation in a more “blue-sky” scenario.
