Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Reliance Industries is a ₹17.7 lakh crore conglomerate trading at a PE of 20.2x with 15% TTM sales growth but flat TTM profit growth. Its ROE has remained modest at ~9% over the last decade, while the digital (Jio) and retail verticals are growing rapidly but the legacy O2C segment faces cyclical margin pressure.
- Jio Platforms subscriber base crossed 524 million in Q4 FY26 with ARPU rising to ₹214, driving 12.5% YoY revenue growth to ₹38,259 crore in the quarter
- Consolidated revenue grew at a 15% TTM rate and 18% CAGR over 5 years, demonstrating consistent top-line scaling across cycles
- FY26 full-year revenue reached ₹11.76 lakh crore with EBITDA of ₹2.08 lakh crore, reflecting 10% and 13.5% YoY growth respectively
- Jio 5G user base surged to 268 million (out of 524 million total), positioning the company for higher-value digital services monetisation
- 10-year stock CAGR of 19% and 10-year compounded profit growth of 10% indicate sustained long-term value creation
- Diversified business model spanning O2C, telecom, retail (20,000+ stores), and new energy reduces single-segment dependency
- Q1 FY27 consolidated revenue jumped 24.5% YoY to ₹3.4 lakh crore with EBITDA exceeding ₹54,000 crore, showing acceleration
- Retail arm store count crossed 20,000 with continued physical and digital commerce expansion across India
- Return on equity has stagnated at approximately 9% over 3, 5, and 10-year periods — below the cost of equity for a business of this scale
- Q4 FY26 consolidated net profit fell 12.5% YoY to ₹16,971 crore, showing earnings vulnerability to energy margin cycles
- Dividend payout ratio of just 10.2% of profits over the last 3 years with a yield of only 0.46%, offering minimal income return to shareholders
- Gross debt rose to ₹2.34 lakh crore in March 2026 from ₹2.01 lakh crore in March 2025 — a 16% increase in one year
- Stock has delivered negative 5% returns over the trailing 1-year and only 1% CAGR over 3 years, underperforming broader markets
- TTM compounded profit growth is 0%, indicating that despite top-line momentum, bottom-line expansion has stalled
- O2C segment remains exposed to global refining margin volatility and crude price swings, as evidenced by the Q4 FY26 profit decline
- PE of 20.2x with a PB of 1.97x and sub-9% ROE implies the stock is priced for growth that has not yet materialised in returns on capital
