Dolat Capital Report

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd.'s Q3 FY25 results were marginally below our estimates. Revenue/ Ebitda/adjusted profit after tax grew +15.5/16.6/24.3% YoY and 3.4/2.9/ 3.9% QoQ driven by tariff hike in early July 2024.

The company gained 3.3 million subscribers following the completion of SIM consolidation post tariff hike. However, a persistent high capex remains a concern.

Jio's strong position in 4G/5G combined with Vodafone Idea Ltd.'s payout, implies consistent tariff hikes for the industry, benefiting both Jio and Bharti Airtel.

We have reduced Jio's APAT by 2-4% to factor in lower subbase/average revenue per user and higher opex. Key triggers for the future are-

  1. flowthrough of tariff hike,

  2. 5G pickup,

  3. lower capex/robust free cash flow and,

  4. a potential public listing.

Our revised enterprise/equity value for Jio (per share of RIL) is Rs 750/640 @ 11 times H1 FY27E EV/E (earlier Rs 690/570). Not rated.
