Don’t see huge upside in Reliance, still bullish on Titan: Siddhartha Khemka

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Siddhartha Khemka, V-P, Head of Research (Retail), MOFSL, says “Reliance Industry’s core business which is facing headwinds, will not see recovery in the near term. Jio Financial post listing has not seen much excitement. The telecom business has been pretty stable though. All put together, we would not see a huge upside but I would expect it to remain steady in terms of share price movement for the next couple of weeks.”
Do you think the triggers are in place for a meaningful up move from Reliance from these levels?
In Reliance, there have been multiple headwinds. If we look at their last few AGMs, they have heavily invested into new-age or the alternate fuels where a few years back, they were talking about net debt-free and cash surplus. Again, with the investment cycle coming up, the core business is getting some pressure. The Singapore GRMs have come off from their highs and that is also hurting the oil business.
If you put together all the pieces, the core business where there are headwinds, will not see recovery in the near term. We saw the Jio Financial listing but post listing, there has not been much excitement there. The telecom business has been pretty stable though. All put together, we would not see a huge upside but I would expect it to remain steady in terms of share price movement for the next couple of weeks.
