Shares in Russia's Evraz down 5.2 pct, lowest since early May

MOSCOW, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Shares (Berlin: DI6.BE - news) in Russian steelmaker Evraz (LSE: EVR.L - news) fell 5.2 percent on the London Stock Exchange (Other OTC: LDNXF - news) on Thursday, continuing a sharp decline that began last week and reaching their lowest since early May.

Thursday was the company's ex-dividend date from which buyers of its stock are no longer eligible for its next dividend payout, a second interim dividend of $0.40 per share.

Evraz was the worst-performing FTSE 100 stock on Aug. 10, down 8.8 percent after broker VTB Capital downgraded it and the rouble fell to its lowest level since July 2016 on anxiety over a fresh round of U.S. sanctions. (Reporting by Polina Ivanova Writing by Tom Balmforth Editing by David Evans)
