Energy-to-telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd today gained 4 per cent and was heading towards biggest daily gain since March 2014.
Core business improvement has been largely ignored due to a fear of higher capex in the upcoming telecom auction, according to CLSA.
It says that the company’s gross refining margin could rise to a six-year high of more than $10/bbl in Q4. Reliance could post a record high quarterly net profit of Rs 6,250 crore ($1.01 billion) in Q4.
CLSA says that the stock trades at a discount to global peers as well as its own historical valuations despite having the best two-year EBITDA growth in the global large-cap energy space.
