Today’s top research idea
Reliance Industries: Standalone EBITDA in line; RJio delivers +ve
EBIT from 1st quarter itself
v
Reliance Industries’ 2QFY18 standalone operating performance was largely in-line with
our expectations. Petchem segment reported robust performance driven by favorable
margin and strong volume growth. While the reported GRM of USD12/bbl was below
our estimate of USD12.6/bbl led by lower light-heavy differentials, the refining
throughput of 18.1mmt was ahead of our estimate of 17.5mmt.
v
RJio turns EBITDA positive in 1st quarter of reporting:
RJio reported stellar revenues of
INR61.5b, led by ARPU of INR156, coming partly from 1QFY18 recharges. EBITDA of
INR14.4b benefited from lower-than-expected opex, coupled with network and
employee expense capitalized.
v
We raise our RJio valuation to INR245/share from INR190/share. Also we increase our
estimates for petchem segment on account of increase in petchem delta due to delays
in US petchem expansions. Our SOTP-based fair value stands at INR1,005/share,
implying an upside of 15%. We thus upgrade our rating to
Buy.
