Gazprom OAO (ADR) (NASDAQOTH:OGZPY)

Since Viktor Alexeevich Zubkov took over in 2008, the stock has continued to drop. Even if you dont blame him for that first year or two when it fell so far down, he has done nothing to bring the stock price any higher. As this stock continues to dip lower, they should learn from their mistake the past 5 years and get a new chairman of the board. I do not think this will happen within the next year, which is why I am putting the time frame within a year, but OGZPY has solid numbers so if the board changes i may switch to a buyer of them!

Natural gas company very undervalued.

Putin in office

Completion of Nordstream and volatility in oil & gas price will likely lead to more robust earnings.

pipelines, pipelines, pipelines...+Putin

This is the national Russian (previously: USSR) natural gas company. Along with the Russian national oil company, Gazprom makes Russia into the world's #1 energy exporter. They are the main exporter of NG to Europe and are trying to expand into providing NG to China and, post-Fukushima, to Japan.

When I picked them here in CAPS, their P/E ratio was 4. Go compare that to the US major integrateds, or Total SA or Royal Dutch Shell.

When folks think of Russia, they think of the Kremlin, hidebound Politburo members and central planning. Waste and inefficiency. Corruption. Well, Russia has changed, and the corruption is starting to work in favor of the capitalists, rather than against them. I realize that Gazprom may not be the most transparent or the most ethical of corporations, but they do own more of the world's natural gas reserves than any other company, and I simply don't think the discount applied to the earnings is justified, especially given global energy demand trends over the next 15-20 years.

Largest Nat Gas Play in the world; Is on Goldmans top fifty BRIC companies to be a player in the world economy. Also cheapest reserves in the world. Trades a approx 6 x earnings

cheap

Liking this Russian Gas Play, WAY undervalued...

Russia's largest company will do well when the economy starts to recover.

Natural gas play

This company owns Russia. Its price got crushed in the Russian stock markets landslide, but it will double or triple in the next couple of years regardless. It's a behemoth

This stock holds more value in terms of reserve base (and regualators support) then any other I know. While Russia might face some trouble in the short term better times will come and this is one of the companies offering a great possibility to enter into a "pro Russia bet" while enjoying the relative security of a strong (not to say a huge) reserve base.
Plus: They still are selling major parts of their gas at huge discounts... I expect to see some adjustments there in the medium run and this should foster profits & cashflow

An undervalued energy giant with huge reserves..pinch me!!!

Greetings, comrades! Gazprom make many Greenbacks from western imperialist dogs! No either worry on price decline of Gazprom gas for stupid American NYMEX capitalist scum market! Comrade Putin and Comrade Medvedev cut off supply to western Europe capitalist and send price sky-high! All glory Mother Russia!

too cheap

The company is heavily oversold in the recent Russian market downturn following the the events in Georgia. The company resource base remains strong (and new fields are likely to be allocated by the Russian government directly to Gazprom), gas prices are likely to rise everywhere, while Russian internal gas market is about to be demonopolized (i.e. local gas prices are to become equal to European ones in the next few years).
