"UNDERPERFORM" rating to RPL target is 59/- says Merrill Lynch

RPL:

In December merill lynch came with a report on RPL stating it will be a “Underperformer” even it was trading around 73/-.

“Merrill Lynch retains ‘UNDERPERFORM’ rating on Reliance Petroleum (RPL). It has steeply cut Singapore complex refining margins forecast for FY10-FY11E.” RPL’s target price has also been cut by 58% to Rs 59 per share.

RIL:

In the same month it downgraded the price target for RIL by 15% but retained the ‘buy’ rating on RIL targeting the 1555/-.

“Merill Lynch has cut its price objective on Reliance Industries (RIL) by 15% from Rs 1,825 to Rs 1,555 based on sum of the parts valuation.”

The cut is relatively modest assuming a weaker rupee, it adds. RIL’s presence in E&P and petrochemicals also helped dilute impact of refining margin cut on RIL.

I already gave a report of deustche bank with the same view. In the upcoming weeks/months so many such reports likely to come.

With thanks
