The Future Landscape of the Russian Stock Market

The crisis will fade away one day. On that day, companies will start forecasting year-on-year earnings growth instead of growing declines. The stock market will survive, but its landscape is likely to change significantly.

Looking at the Russian stock market 10 years from now we are likely to see new sectors and stocks. Some sectors will become bigger and more important, and some sectors will lose its share in total capitalization. The new stocks will come to the market via IPOs, private placements and sales.

The banking sector is likely to get a higher weight in total market cap of the Russian market. The weight of banks in the total market cap of developed countries is roughly 20 percent. It is approximately the same weight in the emerging markets. In Russia, only about 40 percent of the banking sector is traded on the stock exchange. The rest are privately held banks. This will change in 10 years. One of the factors that will facilitate banks taking a larger share of the total market cap will be the purchase of lots of distressed assets, which will cost many times more what they do now.
