Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Friday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 18,549 crore for the quarter ended December, up 33.8 percent sequentially. Quarterly revenues stood at Rs 1.85 lakh crore for the conglomerate in the October-December period, as against Rs 1.67 lakh crore in the previous quarter.
The company reported Rs 29,706 crore in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and ammortisation (EBITDA) for the October-December period. The company's EBITDA margin came in at 16.05 percent.
In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Deven Choksey of KRChoksey said Jio Platform and the retail businesses are claiming a higher rating. He said if these businesses contribute more than 50 percent of profits of the company then re-rating is on the cards for Reliance Industries.
Market Expert Prakash Diwan said the Q3 earnings are stellar on all counts. He said the stock has been holding its ground in a weak market and is likely to get rerated post these numbers.
