There is a report in Business Standard that highlights several Indian companies among the world’s largest value creators over the past decade. As per the report:
Reliance Industries Limited, led by Mukesh Ambani, has been ranked second in the list of the world’s top 10 “sustainable value creators”. These are companies that have successfully created the maximum shareholder value over the last decade, as identified by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
Reliance Industries has also secured the second position among Large Cap firms globally for the period 2005–2009, out of 112 global companies with market capitalisation exceeding USD 35 billion.
Within the chemicals industry, Reliance Industries has been ranked the second-largest value creator among 53 global companies, trailing only South Korea’s OCI during the same period.
However, despite these recognitions, the stock has delivered virtually no returns over the past two years. Many investors appear to be losing patience and are gradually shifting away from the stock in favour of banking, pharmaceutical, and FMCG companies, which have significantly outperformed during this period.
A comparison between Reliance Industries and the BSE Sensex highlights this divergence clearly. The Sensex has risen by nearly 40% over the last one year, whereas Reliance has largely remained flat, offering negligible returns.
So, what lies ahead?
From a market-observation perspective, a relief rally could be expected towards the 1,200 level, provided the stock sustains above the 960 level. Such a move, if it materialises, could restore some confidence and bring much-needed relief to long-term investors as well as support broader market sentiment.
Reliance Industries ranks second among the world’s largest value creators, even as its stock underperforms the broader market in recent years.
