Reliance stock jumps 11.6% on record quarterly profit
The move
Reliance Industries shares rose 11.60% to close at 1,300 rupees on the NSE on Nov. 2, its biggest single-day gain since April 2020, Business Today reported. Consolidated net profit for the July-September quarter rose 40.64% year over year to 25,548 crore rupees, and revenue rose 28.57% to 3,32,861 crore rupees. Telecom unit Jio Platforms reported revenue of 47,485 crore rupees, up 11.3%, with 542.4 million subscribers.
Why it matters
The rally pushed Reliance's market value to nearly 17.6 lakh crore rupees and reinforced Ambani's position among Asia's richest people.
The bear case
A single record quarter doesn't guarantee the growth rate holds, and part of the profit jump reflects an easier year-ago comparison.
What to watch
Reliance's board-approved plan to raise up to 15,000 crore rupees via debentures, and Jio's long-delayed IPO.
