Reliance gains as retail, telecom growth fuels Q3 profit beat
Reliance, the second-top heavyweight stock on the benchmark Nifty 50 index, was last up 2.5%, on track to gain the most in a day since November 2024. The company reported a bigger-than-expected third-quarter profit late on Thursday, with gains from its major units including the mainstay oils-to-chemicals segment, retail segment and telecom business. "Reliance is back on a growth path after six months of challenges," Morgan Stanley said in a note, adding that the "the risk of earnings downgrades" would unwind.
