Market Sentiment & Stock Impact
Post-results, RIL shares saw a modest uptick of 2.4%, with analysts remaining bullish due to consistent earnings growth and diversification.
Brokerages such as Morgan Stanley and CLSA have maintained a “Buy” rating, highlighting strong fundamentals and promising growth avenues.
