In 2024, the Russian stock market faced significant pressure, which was reflected in its primary indices. The year started with positive momentum, but by mid-year, the market faced significant challenges, including geopolitical tensions and shifts in monetary policy. A surge in stock prices was observed in the early months (January to May), fueled by a rise in initial public offerings (IPOs) and optimistic investor expectations. However, a market correction began in mid-May. The primary factors contributing to this correction were heightened geopolitical tensions, tighter monetary policy, and high inflation, which collectively dampened investor appetite for risk assets.
Throughout the first two quarters of 2024, the stock quotes of the company generally mirrored the dynamics of the IMOEX and MOEXEU indices. In the 2Q 2024, against the backdrop of stable production, financial, and economic results, coupled with news of 2023 and Q1 2024 dividend payments, the stock quotes of PAOPublic Joint-Stock Company Rosseti Ural significantly outperformed the IMOEX and MOEXEU indices in growth dynamics. However, following the tightening of monetary policy, the stock quotes of PAOPublic Joint-Stock Company Rosseti Ural began to decline, echoing the overall market trend. By the end of 2024, the decrease in the price of an ordinary share of PAOPublic Joint-Stock Company Rosseti Ural amounted to 7.06%, while the IMOEX and MOEXEU indices decreased by 6.97% and 14.91%, respectively.
