Retaining its price target, Macquarie, in a note, said that it did not ascribe value accretion from JFSL (erstwhile Reliance Strategic Investments). With the key tactical catalyst in the form of demerger behind now, Macquarie sees RIL shares underperforming on the likelihood of lower earnings going ahead, it said, estimating the FY24-25E net profit at 15%-20% below the visible alpha consensus.
It was also among the top losers on the Nifty on Friday. RIL’s shares hit their 52-week high of Rs 2,856 on Wednesday, July 19.
