Despite a relatively difficult year, the company’s financial performance remains at a fairly high level. According to many analysts and the company’s management, at the moment Norilsk Nickel is the highest margin company in its segment. Despite this, the company has figured in several environmental charges. This is one of the risks for investors, since multibillion-dollar fines can significantly reduce the amount of dividends on the company’s shares.

Investors love the company for its raw material outlook and generous dividend policy. After all, the annual dividend yield on the company’s shares is usually double-digit. Moreover, nickel is currently one of the most promising metals. This is due to the fact that nickel is actively used in the production of electric vehicles.

Thus, despite the “outdated” business model, the company is very promising. After all, the main industry where the metals mined by the company will be used is at an early stage of development, so the demand for them will only gain momentum.

The situation at Norilsk Nickel is quite good. With a greater degree of probability, it will leave to correct along with the market, up to the levels of 22000. At this level, you can safely select to the best of your greed. The goals are higher.
