Investment Rationale

Long term prospects and dominant standing of in each of its product & service portfolio, provide comfort for long term value creation. RIL’s consumer business will be the growth driver, going ahead. The company has a strong balance sheet post fund raising while its traditional business will continue to generate steady cash flows. ICICI Direct upgrades the stock to BUY after ~9 per cent correction in the last 1.5 months.

Key event: Reliance Jio raised its prepaid tariffs by ~20 per cent across the board, albeit maintaining the popular packs pricing at 7-14 per cent discount to peers. ICICI Direct expects the full tariff hike flow through to raise the annualised revenues, EBITDA run rate by ~19 per cent, ~35 per cent, respectively, from current levels.

Key triggers for future stock price performance:
  • Increment value accretion from the ‘digital ecosystem’ that will be captured at the Jio Platforms (JPL) level
  • Steady FCF generation in the retail segment would enable the company to maintain debt at lower levels and improve its ability to invest in future inorganic opportunities
  • Steady cash flow in O2C segment is expected to continue and will enable RIL to invest in new energy verticals
