Summary Excerpt Details

Despite the fact that share price is not the best indicator of firm’s financial performance because of the fact that many others factors including speculation impact the share price of any company, in the long term, it is a strong manifestation of the firm’s performance in the market and its appeal to the investors. Quite visibly, the company’s share price was peaking at a level of 2450 during the second quarter of 2008, which could be marked as the last few months of the economic boom and after which, when recession impacted Russia during the first quarter of 2009, the share prices of Lukoil plunged to the lowest level of 749. However, the economy of Russia has been quick in recovering, unlike Europe, which due to its debt crisis is predicting a double dip recession. As the graph reveals, Lukoil’s share price has now restored to the similar level where it was during the first quarter of 2008.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

Share Price

This section examines the historical share price of Lukoil, showcasing its peak during the 2008 economic boom and subsequent decline during the 2009 recession. It highlights the company's resilience in recovering to pre-recession levels, contrasting Russia's economic recovery with the ongoing European debt crisis.

Profit Margin, Operating Margin and Gross Margin

This chapter analyzes the profitability of Lukoil over the past five years by evaluating its profit, operating, and gross margins. It notes a decline in profitability during the 2007-2009 period, attributed to increased spending during the recession. The analysis also observes a large gap between the gross and operating margin, indicating potentially high operating expenses. However, the decreasing gap between the operating and profit margin suggests a positive trend in reducing interest expenses.

EPS and Return on Equity

This section delves into the earnings per share (EPS) and return on equity (ROE) of Lukoil. It explores how Lukoil's decreasing reliance on debt has led to a decrease in ROE. Despite the potential downsides of this shift, the analysis argues that it may lead to a more stable and less risky business model in light of current economic challenges. The chapter also examines the impact of the recession on Lukoil's EPS, demonstrating its decline during the crisis and subsequent recovery.
