Reliance Q3 Results 2026 LIVE: Strong O2C and Jio Performance to Boost RIL EBITDA, says Nuvama

Nuvama Institutional Equities expects Reliance Industries consolidated EBITDA to rise 9% year-on-year, supported by a strong performance in the O2C (Oil-to-Chemicals) and digital segments, partly offset by muted growth in Retail and weakness in Oil & Gas.

The brokerage projects O2C EBITDA to jump 13% YoY, driven by a 21% YoY increase in Singapore GRM, led by higher petrol and diesel spreads, up 2x and 1.5x YoY, respectively.

Jio’s EBITDA is expected to grow 16% YoY and 2% QoQ on the back of higher ARPU, rising 5% YoY and 1% QoQ, and subscriber additions, up 7% YoY and 1% QoQ.

Retail EBITDA is likely to increase 3% YoY, aided by the preponed festive season, while O&G EBITDA may decline 13% YoY due to an 8% fall in production.

Reliance Q3 Results 2026 LIVE: Disappointment in retail execution or upstream realisations could keep RIL stock volatile: Jickson Sajee

Reliance Q3 Results 2026 LIVE: For investors, the focus is unlikely to be on a narrow beat or miss versus estimates, but on forward cues — telecom pricing discipline, the pace of recovery in retail margins, and any updates on the new-energy roadmap.

However, any disappointment in retail execution or upstream realisations could keep near-term stock reactions volatile despite stable consolidated numbers, Jickson Sajee, Research Analyst, INVasset PMS said.

Reliance Q3 Results 2026 LIVE: Jio to deliver stable operating metrics with incremental improvement in ARPU: Jickson Sajee

Street expectations for Reliance Industries Q3 results point to a steady, O2C- and Jio-led performance rather than a sharp surprise. Consensus estimates broadly peg consolidated EBITDA in the 46,700 – 48,000 crore range, implying high single-digit YoY growth, with revenue expected around 2.56 lakh – 2.66 lakh crore. The key swing factor remains Oil-to-Chemicals: refining margins stayed relatively supportive during the quarter, providing a cushion, while the petrochemicals segment is expected to remain softer. In retail, growth is likely to normalise sequentially after festive-season strength, making management commentary on margins, store productivity and quick-commerce strategy especially important, said Jickson Sajee, Research Analyst, INVasset PMS.

In the digital business, Jio is expected to deliver stable operating metrics with incremental improvement in ARPU, estimated around 213 – 214, alongside continued subscriber additions and mid-teens EBITDA growth, he added.
