Since the beginning of the year, performance of PJSC Aeroflot shares correlated directly with the Russian share market fluctuations. In October, the initial negative market reaction to the Company's involvement in Transaero bailout gave way to the upward trend after the acquisition was cancelled. The improved performance of the Company shares was supported by its strong financial results. Since mid-2015, peer shares were trending downwards due to depreciation of national currencies in emerging markets and weaker financial performance of a number of airlines. Unlike emerging markets, developed markets' airlines showed stronger performance driving up the share prices.
