Statements from Motilal Oswal
Motilal Oswal emphasized that Jio Financial has proven its ability to pivot to an operational powerhouse by successfully shifting its revenue mix, where core business income now accounts for over 55 per cent of total earnings. They noted that while near-term profitability remains subdued due to the incubation phase of multiple businesses, the groundwork laid across technology, partnerships, and distribution positions the company for scalable growth over the medium to long term.
Furthermore, they stated, “JIOFIN offers a compelling long-term growth runway, supported by the breadth of its financial services platform and multiple embedded value-creation levers.” However, they also mentioned, “Our SoTP does not factor in valuation from businesses, which are still in their incubation phases.”
