It, however needs to be noted that the company started the new trading week on a rough note, as the company shares dipped by Rs 3.60 or 0.29 per cent.

This has brought the company's market capitalisation to USD 193.74 billion, taking the company to the 72nd position on the list of companies, in terms of market capitalisation.

Jefferies Positive Outlook

This recent surge has been brought to fore by the company's positive ratings. American rating agency, Jefferies went bullish on Reliance shares.

Jefferies also issued a buy call for the Mumbai-based company, which is also on of the largest conglomerates in India.

This positive outlook comes to pass after some key developments from the company. Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of the company, has maintained a high ARPU while being the largest company in the Indian telecom business.

In addition, another development surrounding Jio, ie its IPO, could have possibly encouraged markets.

Adding to that, Jefferies also expects the company's retail arm to be resurgent again. The company's retail arm, which has been at the centre of the slowdown, may pick up, fostering growth for the company.

This comes after a year, when the company shares closed 2024 with negative returns for investors, for the first time in a decade.
