Brokerages remain positive
Let's take a look at what top brokerages have to say about RIL stock after the Q2 earnings
Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Motilal Oswal has a buy call on the stock with a target price of INR 2,760.
"Using SOTP, we value the refining and petrochemical segment at 7.5 times FY25E EV/EBITDA to arrive at a valuation of INR 878 per share for standalone. We ascribe an equity valuation of INR 760 per share to RJio and INR 1,353 per share to Reliance Retail and INR 16 per share towards the new age business," said Motilal Oswal.
Motilal Oswal believes growth would be driven by the retail sector’s footprint additions and new categories, while the telecom business continues to focus on subscriber growth.
"In O2C, refining and petchem segments margins are picking up from the current levels as net capacity additions for both segments are tapering off on a YoY basis in CY24. Further, FY25 would see the full benefit from the ramped-up volumes at MJ field," said the brokerage firm.
