Yandex lost almost $ 3 billion on the news of negotiations with Sberbank. What explains the rapid fall? Photo: Tatyana Flegontova/TASS The main business news of the week was Sberbank negotiations with Yandex shareholders on the purchase of a large share in the company reported by The Bell. It caused a real collapse of the quotes of the largest Russian Internet company: in two days, Yandex lost 27.5% of the cost and more than $ 3 billion out of $ 11.5 billion of capitalization on NASDAQ.

In the coming months, first in Yandex, then in other Russian search engines, and perhaps in the largest social networks, it will become more difficult to find links to pirated content. After a meeting of copyright holders and Runet platforms held on Friday at Roskomnadzor, the regulator and Yandex announced that they had managed to agree on the main provisions of the anti-piracy agreement.

The Yandex shares continued yesterday's fall: at the opening of trading on Nasdaq, the paper giants fell by almost 9%. The aggregate losses of the company due to news about negotiations with Sberbank in two days exceeded $ 2 billion: it was the company's capitalization that was so reduced. Details On Friday, by 10:41 PM in New York (17:41 Moscow time), Yandex shares fell by 8.6%, to $ 26.96 per share. On the eve of the company on NASDAQ, the company has fallen in price by 18%.

The head of the National Guard, Viktor Zolotov, will later decide how to respond to Alexei Navalny, who called him to the televised debate, because he called the oppositionist “for something else.” “I invited him to another. Therefore, we do not agree with him. Then we will decide [how to answer Navalny],” Zolotov told reporters ( quoted by Interfax).
