My Notes

• Distressed/special situations investors and geopolitical arbitrage funds willing to accept total loss risk for potential multi-bagger…
• Moderate sensitivity through two channels: (1) Russian Central Bank rates affect consumer credit availability and spending capacity…
• Watch on earnings: Russian Ruble exchange rate (RUB/USD) - affects reported dollar revenues and repatriation value, Russian Central Bank policy rate - impacts consumer credit and spending capacity, Western sanctions announcements - direct impact on operational permissions and asset control.
