As Reliance Industries gears up to announce its Q3 results, industry experts are keenly awaiting the performance of the conglomerate led by Mukesh Ambani. With his children— Isha, Akash, and Anant—managing various business verticals such as retail, telecommunications, and new energies, the spotlight is on which of them will emerge as the frontrunner in this quarterly report card. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the expected outcomes of Reliance Industries’ Q3 results and how the company’s divisions are poised to perform.
Expected Performance in Telecom
On Thursday, Reliance Industries is set to release its financial results for the third quarter of FY 2025. Analysts anticipate strong earnings growth in its telecommunications segment during the quarter ending December 2023. Improved refining margins and moderate growth in retail business are also expected, showcasing the resilience of its diversified portfolio.
Operational Income Insights
There is optimism regarding a significant increase in the operating income of Reliance Industries for this quarter. Although the net profit might not reflect the same robust growth, experts foresee a solid consolidated EBITDA, thanks to the digital services segment and strong refining margins, despite weaknesses in the petrochemicals market.
Projected Net Profit Growth
| Metric | Q3 FY 2025 Estimate | Growth Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Net Profit | ₹17,482 Crores | +6% |
| Operating Income | To be determined | Strong growth expected |
According to reports from brokerage firms, Reliance Industries’ net profit for the October-December quarter is projected to see a 6% increase, reaching around ₹17,482 crores.
Sources of Income Support
The robustness of Reliance Industries’ income can largely be attributed to its O2C (Oil to Chemicals) business. Furthermore, the digital services arm, particularly Reliance Jio, is expected to report impressive performance numbers, thereby boosting overall income. Analysts are optimistic about the retail segment as well, anticipating considerable profits from Mukesh Ambani’s strategic business moves.
Market Performance of Reliance Shares
In the past six months, Reliance Industries’ stock has experienced a decline of approximately 20%. Currently, the company’s market capitalization stands at around ₹16.95 lakh crores. On Wednesday, the stock showed a slight recover, increasing by 1% during the trading session, reaching a high of ₹1,257 before closing at ₹1,252.
Conclusion
The forthcoming Q3 results of Reliance Industries not only indicate the performance of the company under the stewardship of the Ambani siblings but also reflect the changing dynamics of the telecommunications and retail sectors. Investors and analysts alike are keenly monitoring these results, as they possess critical insights into the company’s strategic direction and financial health.
