13:01NorNickel: corporate conflict continues
On August 7, NorNickel majority shareholders accused each other of undesirable actions that impair the company's market value. Rusal remarked on the inefficiency of NorNickel's management. Interros, in turn, said that Onexim and Rusal had reduced the company's market cap and thus manipulated the market. In our opinion, the ongoing conflict between the nickel giant's majority shareholders boosts the volatility of NorNickel shares and impairs the holding's investment attractiveness. However, the decrease in the company's business, which suffers from a downturn in prices on the nonferrous metals market, remains the main downside driver for NorNickel's fundamental value.
