Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is likely to post strong growth in net profit led by a rise in EBITDA in the July-September quarter of FY22. Analysts expect that Reliance will continue the momentum from the previous quarter into the second quarter of the current fiscal. The oil-to-telecom conglomerate has recently announced several acquisitions through subsidiaries, such as a 100% stake in Norway-based solar cell; panel and polysilicon maker REC Solar Holdings for $771 mn; and 25 million euros (USD29 million) stake in Germany’s NexWafe GmbH. On the stock performance front, RIL share price has soared nearly 10 per cent in the last month, 38 per cent in six months, and over 32 per cent in the year so far.

Centrum Institutional Research
Centrum Institutional Research remains optimistic on the profitability outlook for RIL in the near-term, with its estimates suggesting a peer leading 20 per cent EPS CAGR over FY21-23E, driven by 18.6 per cent CAGR in EBITDA, and higher other income and lower interest costs. The sustained change of earnings mix in favor of the consumer segments does help the margins, while cash flows are positively impacted by the higher profitability and relatively lower capex despite the aggressive plans around RW segments.

The company had reported a net profit after tax of Rs 13,843 crore in the last quarter. In the short term, the impact on quarterly financials will be limited but the move is clearly in line with the announced plans of the company and positive for the longer-term growth and financials and shareholder returns. It is expected that the company may deliver a strong performance in Q2 also similar to the previous quarter due to recovery in petrochemicals and the retail venture along with sustained growth in the digital services business. As various businesses are returning to normal post-pandemic, domestic demand has sharply recovered across all O2C businesses and is now near pre-Covid level. Taking into account all the factors, it is expected that the net income of the company may increase from 8-10% from the previous quarter.
