Jio Platforms shares trade nearly flat after strong listing
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 28 (IANS) Shares of Reliance Industries' digital and telecom subsidiary, Jio Platforms Ltd, made a strong debut on the NSE and the BSE on Wednesday, following its Rs 30,213-crore initial public offering (IPO). Jio Platforms shares were listed at Rs 1,358 apiece on BSE and NSE, a premium of 21.36 per cent to the issue price of Rs 1,119 per share. The market capitalisation of Jio Platforms crossed Rs 12.5 lakh crore after the listing, making it the second largest listed company in India. The public issue, which was India's biggest IPO, attracted strong investor demand, with the issue subscribing 22.19 times overall. Qualified institutional buyers led the bidding, subscribing 70.55 times their allotted portion. Investors will watch out whether the company can sustain revenue growth, improve profitability and execute its expansion plans while maintaining healthy cash flows. The shares were trading flat after a strong opening. Brokerage firms Nomura, Motilal Oswal Financial Services and Elara Securities have initiated their coverage on Jio Platforms shares with Buy' ratings. Nomura said that Jio, once the disruptor, is now the leader. It has 42 per cent of the country's wireless subscribers, 60 per cent of data traffic, and 43 per cent of home broadband. In our view, the listing will likely push Jio Platforms, the price setter, towards steady tariff hikes that peers can follow. We estimate a 13.5 per cent EBITDA CAGR over FY26-29, Nomura said. It initiated coverage on Jip Platforms shares with a Buy' rating and a target price of Rs 1,340. Motilal Oswal expects rising profitability and range-bound capex should generate a cumulative FCF of Rs 1.46 lakh crore over FY26-29 and enable Jio Platform to achieve a net cash position by FY29. It initiated coverage with a Buy' rating and a target price of Rs 1,350. The brokerage firm believes Jio Platforms could trade at a premium to Bharti's India business over the near-term, driven by its market leadership, greater influence over industry tariffs, and low liquidity (free float of less than 3 per cent).

Buttigieg campaigns for Indian American Pia Dandiya as super PAC poll shows Florida race tied
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 28 (IANS) Former US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has campaigned for Indian American Democrat Pia Dandiya in Floridas 22nd Congressional District, as a new poll sponsored by a super PAC showed her locked in a dead heat with Republican Casey Askar a week before the November 3 election. Buttigieg joined Dandiya on Monday at a canvassing launch in Plantation. He is seen as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender and has been campaigning for Democrats in battleground races. Im thrilled to host Pete in the 22nd District, as we work to build a campaign bigger than any one of us, Dandiya said. He represents the kind of common-sense leadership we need, and his support is a true honor. So grateful for @PeteButtigieg for joining our amazing canvass launch!! Dandiya posted on X, adding: Plantation showed out. A poll sponsored by A Fight Worth Having, a super PAC, and conducted by its polling unit RedBox Research, found Dandiya at 46.3 per cent and Askar at 45.5 per cent, a tie within the margin of error. The survey of 550 likely voters was taken October 20-23 and has a margin of error of 5.1 points. Independents favoured Dandiya 56.8 per cent to 24.9 per cent, according to the poll, released on October 25. Men favoured Dandiya, while women narrowly favoured Askar. The Cook Political Report has moved the race from Lean Republican to Toss-up. Decision Desk HQs forecast model gave Askar a 58 per cent chance of winning as of October 23. Askar, a businessman, holds a significant cash advantage. He reported nearly $1.9 million in cash on hand as of October 14, compared with about $735,000 for Dandiya. Askar has lent his campaign about $6.7 million this cycle, of which $400,000 has been repaid. Outside groups are pouring money into the contest. No Going Back PAC, a super PAC funded by MAGA Inc., has reported spending about $6.5 million against Dandiya, according to Federal Election Commission filings. House Majority PAC has reported spending $7.84 million against Askar, India West said. Dandiya, a former educator and technology executive, is part of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committees Red to Blue programme for competitive races. The district had been a Democratic stronghold before Florida lawmakers redrew its boundaries to give Republicans an advantage of about 38,500 voters. About 55 per cent of voters in the redrawn district backed President Donald Trump in 2024. Democratic incumbent Lois Frankel did not run. Early voting in Florida runs until October 31. If elected, Dandiya would be among a handful of Indian Americans in Congress.

Israel election: Likud-led bloc takes lead, Netanyahu calls for 'strong right-wing govt
Digital Desk | Jerusalem, Oct 28 (IANS) Israels election results showed incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus Likud bloc leading by Wednesday morning, with 41.9 per cent of ballot boxes counted, local media reported. The partial results released by Central Elections Committee gave Netanyahus bloc 57 seats to 47 for the anti-Netanyahu camp. The predominantly Arab Joint List and Raam factions together held the remaining 16 seats, The Times of Israel reported. Following exit polls released by Israeli media outlets Channels 11, 12 and 13 on Tuesday night, no clear winner emerged in Israels election, with neither Netanyahus bloc nor the opposition seeking to replace him projected to secure the 61 seats required for a majority in the Knesset, the countrys parliament However, by Wednesday morning, some polls indicated Netanyahu's bloc with a clear lead. An updated exit poll released overnight showed Netanyahus bloc drawing level with or gaining an edge over the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot, a former chief of staff of the Israel Defence Forces. Responding to the projections, Netanyahu asserted that the right wing commanded a great majority among Israels Zionist public and called for the formation of a strong right-wing government. Addressing supporters at the Likud election headquarters in Jerusalem after the polls, Netanyahu criticised media outlets that had forecast a poor performance by his Likud party in the elections. Do you remember how the propaganda channels engineered public consciousness? Likud on 18 seats, 19 seats. They knew the whole time that it was a lie. They were trying to demoralise you from coming to the ballot box. That is what went on here. Well, the first thing that has become clear, unequivocally, is that Likud is the biggest party in Israel. There is no disputing it, Times of Israel quoted Netanyahu as saying. And the second thing that has become clear is that the right-wing bloc has a clear, decisive majority among the Zionist public, among the Jewish public and all those who support the Jewish state. That is what has become clear. A decisive majority. And therefore I said, and I say again, that we must form a strong, national, right-wing government. That is what must be done, he added. He also criticised parties willing to cooperate with Arab parties, calling such an arrangement a shame. Questioning how parties could discuss the covenant of those who serve while cooperating with parties that attack Israel Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers, Netanyahu said it was unthinkable to endanger Israel and set up a government that relies upon anti-Zionist Arab parties. He further described them as parties that oppose Israels very existence, that regard Hamas as a charitable organization, that call Israeli soldiers war criminals. Highlighting Israels achievements in the conflicts that followed the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, Netanyahu claimed that Iran had been significantly weakened while Israel had emerged stronger. The Tuesday elections marked the first electoral contest since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, amid significant shifts in the political landscape and the issues shaping voter priorities since the 2022 elections.
