WOOD Flash – Russian Equity Strategy: feedback from investor meetings

In this flash note, we share feedback post our 70-plus meetings with European, US and Middle Eastern investors. We were surprised to learn that practically all investors we met had Russia as either overweight or at least neutral. While we still maintain our positive view on Russia, given the bullish positioning, we believe that it make take longer for Russian stocks to re-rate from their current 6.7x P/E to a more reasonable 9-10x.
