Reliance may struggle to repeat cola disruption in biscuits: Britannia CEO
Reliance Industries is in focus.
· BS Companies
Britannia MD and CEO Rakshit Hargave said Reliance may find it harder to disrupt the biscuits market through aggressive pricing, given the segment's established ₹5 and ₹10 price points.
The analysis
Reliance Industries reported ₹5 and ₹10. 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 +1.4% on the day at ₹1,342.50, and has returned -0.8% over three months. It sits 16% below its 52-week high. The oil & energy sector has moved -0.9% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 0.1 points ahead of 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.
Market context
- In focus: Reliance Industries (RELIANCE), in Oil & Energy.
- Over three months: Reliance Industries -0.8% against Oil & Energy -0.9% (0.1 points ahead).
