Shares of Reliance Industries rallied more than 4 per cent on Friday, after Morgan Stanley retained its bullish bias on the stock, citing gains from the lowered oil prices and Supreme Court’s verdict on AGR dues.
In December last year, the stock lost 43 per cent from its 52-week, but the brokerage sees an ‘overweight’ on the stock with a target at Rs 1,632 per share.
“The lower oil prices have led petrochemical margins to expand and refining margin has been stable despite demand challenges,” media reports quoted the brokerage as saying.
