Jio Financial shares surge 4% today but fell 28% in 2026: Can stock break out of its prolonged downtrend? Key levels
Reliance Industries moved higher in a promoter activity development.
· LiveMint Markets
Jio Financial Services shares rose nearly 4% after it allotted 12.5 crore shares each to promoter-group entities Sikka Ports & Terminals and Jamnagar Utilities & Power, completing warrant conversions. The allotments lifted combined promoter and promoter-group ownership to 50.98% from 49.13%.
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported movement of 4%, 28% and 50.98%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +7.5% on the day at ₹1,252.90, and has returned -9.9% over three months. It sits 21% below its 52-week high. The oil & energy sector has moved -5.7% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 4.2 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.
