Oil India’s stock surged over 1% today to Rs 279.35 on account of a stable and a strong operating performance with its EBITDA in-line at Rs 23 billion in Q1FY24. However, the company’s revenue was below estimates for some brokerages, at Rs 46.4 billion, down 22% on-year and 18% on-quarter due to decline in oil and gas realization. Oil India’s PAT also declined by 9.8% on-quarter to Rs 16.1 billion owing to higher depreciation, interest and lower other income. Oil India’s share price has jumped over 9% in the last one month and nearly 25% in the last six months. Analysts at Emkay, Motilal Oswal and Prabhudas Lilladher have recommended a ‘Buy’ rating on Oil India’s stock.
