The stock of RIL has been on a roll on the back of making the company debt free. Billions of dollars have poured into its Telecom Venture JIO and now Reliance Retail seems to have caught the fancy of marquee investors. The company bounced back sharply post hitting a low of Rs 864 on March 23, enriching its shareholders in the most spectacular way.

"Long term, we continue to like RIL's business and balance sheet, and we believe all three of its core businesses – O2C, Retail and Digital Services – have become self-sustaining and cash generating, with Retail and Digital Services on a high growth path. The stock has outperformed the Nifty50 by 22 per cent over the past three months on the back of the company's significant deleveraging and new investors and partners in the Digital Services business, setting a new benchmark valuation," analysts at HSBC said in stock update note.
