Shares

The ordinary and preferred shares of Sberbank have been included by the Moscow Stock Exchange in the first-tier (upper) quotation list.

Sberbank’s securities started 2017 by exceeding the historic maximum, supported by an increase in oil quotation prices against the backdrop of the approval of the OPEC+OPEC – Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries pact to reduce oil production and anticipations of a normalization of Russian-American relations. Price quotations subsequently contracted to mid-2016 levels owing to a deterioration in the geopolitical situation and the risks of new sanctions. The decision to pay dividends in the amount of 25% of IFRS net profit helped to revive the Sberbank share price.

Starting from the end of August 2017 the quotation prices of Sberbank grew steadily with the support of strong IFRS financial statements for the first six months of 2017, and then against the background of a whole array of corporate news – on profit plans to 2020 and a possible increase in dividend payments to 50% of net profit. At the end of the year, on December 16, Sberbank held an Investor’s Day in London, presenting its goals to 2020, which was also received positively by the market.

Sberbank’s shares remain the most liquid stock on Russian trading platforms. Trading volumes in the Bank’s ordinary and preferred shares on the Moscow Stock Exchange equaled approximately RUB 3 trillion, more than 30% of total trading volumes on the Moscow Stock Exchange and comparable with the aggregate trading volume of the largest Russian blue chips Gazprom, LUKOIL and Rosneft taken together.
