· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks, LiveMint Markets, Business Standard Mkts
Indian equity benchmarks experienced a decline as profit-booking occurred amid rising crude oil prices. The Nifty 50 dropped significantly, closing at 22,889 after disappointing corporate earnings. Reliance Industries aims to raise funds through its initial public offering today, which is highly anticipated.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -0.2% on the day at ₹1,164.90, and has returned -9.9% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -5.7% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 4.2 points behind its peers.
This is an Input cost / crude event. India imports most of its crude, so input costs pass through to margins downstream and to the rupee. Producers and consumers of the same input move in opposite directions. On the day the stock is -0.2%, so the price barely moved, which suggests this was expected or is seen as immaterial.
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.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
Market context
- The 3 companies named span 3 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 0 of 3 are higher: Reliance Industries leads at -0.2% and Hindustan Zinc trails at -2.1%.
- Over three months: Reliance Industries -9.9% against Oil & Energy -5.7% (4.2 points behind); Yes Bank -32.8% against Banks -6.0% (26.8 points behind); Hindustan Zinc -5.6% against Metals & Mining -9.5% (3.9 points ahead).
- At least 25% below the 52-week high: Reliance Industries (27%), Yes Bank (40%) and Hindustan Zinc (30%).
