Shares of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) are set to attract significant attention this Monday as the company, spearheaded by Mukesh Ambani, unveiled its Q4 financial results for 2025 on Friday evening. The conglomerate showcased a remarkable performance that surpassed market expectations, reporting a 6% year-on-year increase in consolidated profits for the quarter spanning January to March 2025.
Strong Performance in Q4 FY25
In its latest earnings report, Reliance Industries recorded a consolidated profit of ₹22,434 crore, up from ₹21,143 crore in the same quarter last year. This growth reflects the resilience of its diverse sectors, particularly in digital services and retail.
Reliance Jio’s Growth Surge
Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of the conglomerate, demonstrated impressive growth with a 25.7% increase in profit after tax (PAT), reaching ₹7,022 crore. The revenue from operations also saw a 17.7% rise, totaling ₹33,986 crore.
- EBITDA for Jio Platforms climbed 18.5% to ₹17,016 crore.
- The EBITDA margin experienced a modest increase of 40 basis points, reaching 50.1%.
This robust performance can be attributed to strong subscriber growth and tariff adjustments, with Jio now boasting 191 million 5G subscribers and an average revenue per user (ARPU) of ₹206.20.
Reliance Retail Ventures Shines
Reliance Retail Ventures also reported a solid quarter, with revenues soaring 16.3% year-on-year to ₹78,622 crore. Their PAT increased dramatically by 29.1% to ₹3,545 crore, with EBITDA rising 14.3% to ₹6,711 crore.
Despite the positive growth, the EBITDA margin saw a slight decline of 20 basis points, settling at 8.5%. The retail sector’s growth was bolstered by improved store operations and a significant uptick in hyper-local delivery services.
Insights from Analysts
Seema Srivastava, a senior research analyst at SMC Global Securities, commented on the overall performance of Reliance Industries. She noted, "The results for Q4 FY25 highlight the company’s strong financial health, particularly in its digital and retail segments, which offset softer returns from energy operations."
Furthermore, she explained that the Oil to Chemicals (O2C) segment experienced a 15.4% revenue increase to ₹1.64 lakh crore, driven by higher volumes and domestic product placements. However, EBITDA in this sector saw a decline of 10% to ₹15,080 crore, attributed to reduced transportation fuel cracks and lower margins in the polyester chain.
Market Outlook for Reliance Shares
As investors prepare for trading on Monday, Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Anand Rathi, anticipates a gap-up opening for Reliance shares. He pointed out that the stock is forming a symmetrical descending pattern on the weekly chart. A decisive close above ₹1330 could trigger a bullish trend, potentially pushing the stock towards the ₹1425 resistance level.
Conversely, if the stock fails to maintain levels between ₹1330 and ₹1350, it may indicate weakness and could lead to a decline towards immediate support levels of ₹1260 and ₹1220.
Investment Recommendations
Dongre encourages investors to consider buying Reliance shares on dips, particularly near the identified support levels. He emphasizes that strategically timed entries in this zone can offer attractive risk-reward opportunities for those looking to invest in this multifaceted conglomerate.
