Jio’s listing caps Mukesh Ambani’s quarter-century telecom quest, which survived a family split, regulatory battles and years of investment before revenue. His journey has come almost full circle.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -3.2% on the day at ₹1,158.00, and has returned -8.7% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -4.8% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 3.9 points behind its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.
