We believe that investors should approach the Russian market with much more caution and be prepared for a lot of volatility in the next few days and weeks. We do not believe that all stocks have fully priced in the negative possibilities, but consider the overall market as becoming more attractively priced. We suggest that investors have a list of “top buys†at hand and be ready to step in on significant weakness over the next few weeks. Such a list could include some Russian consumer and me...

Tatneft has reported strong 4Q17 results, with EBITDA, net income and FCF of RUB 53bn, RUB 34bn and RUB 27bn, respectively, 3%, 9% and 43% above our expectations. We were particularly surprised by the better cost discipline and stronger FCF generation. Tatneft remains our top pick in the sector, with a BUY recommendation and USD 65 /GDR and RUB 504/preferred share price targets (PTs).
Tatneft plans to release its 4Q17E results on 29 March. The company improved its cost control recently, with capex falling 13% and lifting costs rising just 2% in 9M17 (in RUB terms), and we expect these trends to have remained in 4Q17E. Having introduced one of the most attractive dividend policies this year, Tatneft’s stock has enjoyed a remarkable re-rating. Going forward, we expect the operating performance to be the key driver for shareholder returns, especially with the launch of gasolin...
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.
