Rosneft shares become more available, which will give additional dynamics to the company’s shares and increase demand for them from private investors and algorithmic systems. From September 1, 2021, Rosneft shares on the stock exchange can be bought individually – the site has reduced the size of the trading lot from 10 to 1 security. This is a common practice among Western companies: the availability of securities by splitting the lot was increased, for example, by such corporations as Tesla and Apple.

The exchange reviews the lot sizes every six months to improve the availability of securities. According to analysts, usually the lot size decreases for securities whose quotes are showing growth. For example, Rosneft shares rose in price by more than 53 percent over the year, substantially outstripping the dynamics of the main Russian stock index – the Mosbirzh index.
