Exercise for the Reliance Diligence Q1 result Ahead of the company’s April–June quarter report (Q1FY23) later this moment, Reliance diligence shares increased more than 1% to Rs. 517 a share on the BSE.

RIL shares have fallen 4% on the exchanges this month despite a 4% gain in the BSE’s 30-pack indicator, missing the estimate for July.
As to this point in the current fiscal year, the performance of the Mukesh Ambani-led company’s shares has also been consistent with the frontline indicator (FY23). Each one of them shed 5.4 percent during that time.

“We anticipate RIL’s Q1FY23 Ebitda to jump 33 percent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) at Rs,800 crores led by a sharp shaft in refining periphery (GRM) to $ 22 per barrel; this will be only partially backed by 3.4 percent QoQ growth in Digital Ebitda, and 9.0 percent QoQ growth in Retail Ebitda,” said judges at JM Financial in an earnings exercise report.
According to the brokerage, Oil Painting- to- Chemical (O2C) Ebitda would likely increase 63 percent QoQ to Rs. 200 crores owing to a robust refining periphery during a slump in gasoline and diesel prices to $ 40–$ 50 per barrel due to force-side operations.
Nevertheless, petchem perimeters may continue to be weak because of poor polyester perimeters as a result of Chinese lockdowns.
Additionally, digital Ebitda could increase to Rs. 600 crores due to an increase in ARPU (average profit per user) to Rs. 174 (from Rs. 168 in Q4FY22); net subscribers are also predicted to increase by 4.5 million over time (compared to net subscribers declining by 11 million, 9 million, and 11 million in Q4FY22, Q3FY22, and Q2FY22 due to the draw up of low-ARPU inactive subscribers).
While contributing roughly 45 percent of Ebitda and 34% of profit, respectively, is the retail and telecom sectors.
Eye on commentary
Mayuresh Joshi, head of stock research at William O’Neil India, claims that investors would carefully monitor the management’s evaluation of gross refining margins (GRMs) in light of the recent decline in crude oil prices.
In only a few weeks, Singapore GRMs went from $30 per barrel to roughly $4 per barrel. Over Singapore GRMs, RIL has historically benefited from a premium of $ per barrel.
