Key event
Government of India has imposed additional excise duty of Rs 13/litre on diesel exports. Also, excise duty on petrol and ATF exports was raised by of Rs 6/litre.
RIL has total refining capacity of 68 MMTPA and one of the refineries is export focused. Product cracks of diesel, petrol and ATF continue to trade at elevated levels. While the company is expected to report a sharp surge in profit in Q1FY23E, excise duty on product exports is likely to limit gains in the refining segment, going ahead, as per our understanding.
The government will review the excise duty for recalibration every 15 days. The strategy of the company regarding export volume and global refining scenario will be the key monitorable in the near term.
Key triggers for future price performance
Increment value accretion from the 'digital ecosystem' that will be captured at the Jio Platforms (JPL) level. Steady FCF generation in the retail segment would enable the company to maintain debt at lower levels and improve its ability to invest in future inorganic opportunities. Steady cash flow in O2C segment is expected to continue amid favourable global scenario and will enable Reliance Industries Lltd to invest in new energy verticals.
ICICI Direct Suggests Buy for Target Price of Rs 2,800/share
Long term prospects and dominant standing of RIL in each of its product & service portfolio, provide comfort for long term value creation. RIL's consumer business will be the growth driver, going ahead. The company has a strong balance sheet while its traditional business will continue to generate steady cash flows amid a favourable global scenario. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock. On an SOTP basis, we value the stock at Rs 2800/share.
