Reliance Industries Ltd. share price target

Reliance Industries (Reliance) reported YoY flat EBITDA and ~11% YoY decline in net earnings in Q1FY24. The oil-to-chemical (OTC) segment lagged with 27% YoY decline in segmental EBIT, reflective of the weak demand trends in downstream petroleum segment. Upstream, retail and digital services continued to show good YoY momentum – with sharply higher gas production from the new fields and sustained improvement in retail footprint driving growth.

Q4 beat led by O2C business; investor concerns appeased by introduction of a capital discipline target of 1x net debt/EBITDA

Reliance Industries (RIL) has reported yet another record year of profit growth in FY23, with Q4FY23 cons EBITDA/PAT of Rs384/193bn growing by 23/19% YoY and FY23 EBITDA/PAT of Rs1.4trn/Rs667bn growing by 29/14% YoY, respectively. Strong OTC segment earnings, coupled with a sharp turnaround in the upstream segment and sustained strength of the retail segment drove the improvement.

Reliance Jio Infocomm’s (RJio) revenue grew 12% YoY, helped by rise in mobile subs base, faster growth in FTTH and enterprise business. EBITDA grew 16% YoY, supported by lower SUC (added 5% YoY to EBITDA growth), and higher Ind-AS impact; adjusted for it, EBITDA growth probably was in high single digit.
