Severstal Pjsc (CHMF.ME) closed the trading day at a modest decline of ‑0.49 %. The share price, recorded at RUB 711.4 as of 07:09 PM Central Europe on Wednesday, 21 April 2026, reflects a slight retracement after a robust rally earlier in the month. With 837.5 million shares outstanding, the company’s market capitalisation settled at RUB 606.8 billion. In the preceding 24 hours, roughly RUB 1.4 billion of Severstal stock changed hands, underscoring the firm’s continued liquidity in a market that has seen the share rise 17.17 % since the close of March.
Technical backdrop
The 200‑day simple moving average, a key indicator of medium‑term momentum, sits at RUB 683.19, a level that the share has comfortably surpassed for several weeks. The stock’s highest point over the past year reached RUB 1 022.8 on 29 January 2026, while its low hit RUB 505.6 on 17 July 2026, illustrating a significant range of volatility that investors have navigated with caution. The recent dip suggests a brief pause as the market digests recent earnings reports and macroeconomic signals.
