The stock lagged in the recent market rally, showing an 8.3% increase in the last 15 sessions as compared to the Nifty 50’s 9% surge, and has risen by 5.85% in June so far, slightly underperforming the Nifty 50, which gained 5.94% over the same period.

Following its Q4FY24 results, domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal has maintained its ‘buy’ rating on the stock with a target price of ₹3,245 per share. The brokerage highlighted robust performance in the consumer business, projecting double-digit EBITDA growth.

Specifically, it expects RJio and Reliance Retail to achieve 14% and 25% EBITDA CAGR, respectively, from FY24 to FY26. This growth trajectory is underpinned by expansion initiatives, diversification into new retail categories, strategic subscriber acquisition efforts, and anticipated tariff adjustments in the telecom segment.

In the oil-to-chemicals (O2C) sector, Motilal Oswal anticipates a recovery in the refining and petrochemical segments. This rebound, according to the brokerage, is attributed to diminishing net capacity additions year-on-year and the forthcoming full-scale operation of enhanced volumes at the MJ Field, expected to contribute significantly in FY25.
