Inter RAO UES fell for a third day after Kommersant reported that the state-controlled power generator and exporter may acquire Turkish energy assets.
Inter RAO dropped 0.6 percent to 2.77 kopeks (0.09 cents) by close in Moscow on Wednesday, the most since June 22.
The utility set up the Inter Rao Turkey Enerji Holding unit to research the Turkish market and possibly acquire local energy assets, Kommersant reported. "While the impact from potential acquisitions in Turkey would depend on the parameters of the deals, at this stage the news increases the general risk profile of Inter RAO and therefore might be negative," VTB Capital analysts led by Mikhail Rasstrigin said in a research note.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
