Reliance Industries Ltd (Q1 FY13)

India Infoline Research Team / 10:21 , Jul 23, 2012

CMP Rs723, Target Rs750, Upside 3.7% 

  • Revenues at Rs918bn, higher by 13% yoy; lower than our estimates

  • OPM falls 491bps yoy driven by fall in EBIT margins of refining and petrochemical segments and also on account of lower contribution of the high margin oil and gas segment

  • GRMs were at US$7.6/bbl v/s our expectations of US$7/bbl

  • Higher cash balance and better yields have resulted in 77% yoy jump in other income

  • PAT at Rs44.7bn was better than our expectations owing to lower effective tax rate

  • Maintain Market Performer rating with a revised 9-month price target of Rs750; key risks: weakness in GRMs, falling petrochemical spreads, increasing regulatory risks in E&P segment
