One of the two drivers of Reliance Industries Ltd's recent underperformance - weak refining margin - has reversed but the other, poor-retail top-line growth, is difficult to anticipate, brokerage JP Morgan said in a report. Reliance stock is down 22 per cent from its peak on July 8 (NIFTY down 3.3 per cent), sharply reversing outperformance from earlier in the year. In a market where most stocks are trading well above historical valuations, Reliance's fair relative valuations are an attraction.

These, JP Morgan estimates, will account for almost all of net EBITDA growth over the next three years. With an EBITDA run-rate of USD 20 billion
