Assessment of Impact of the Sharp Price Drop of Crude Oil and Economic Crisis on Attractiveness of Stock Investment in Power Companies

Analysis of the situation on the domestic stock market, as well as in the economy and power economy, showed that a sharp drop in oil prices in the world energy market in 2014 has slightly reduced the investment attractiveness of investments in the shares of domestic energy companies. Nowadays, the risks and uncertainty of the future development of the political and the economic events reduce the investment attractiveness of financial investments in the shares of Russian energy companies much stronger than the fall in oil prices. The article considers the various fundamental factors influencing the dynamics of share price of the energy companies in Russia and concludes that the decline in share price of the Russian energy companies is not expected in mid-term and long term periods. Therefore, the energy companies can rely on raising the funds of the domestic stock market in the mid-term period for solving the current and strategic challenges that they face to ensure a reliable supply of the energy resources to consumers, thereby supporting the adaptability of the Russias energy systems at the required level.
