4 Adani group stocks that are still in a free fall since Hindenburg report release

Adani Group stocks have faced significant turbulence and heightened volatility since the release of the Hindenburg report on 24 January, which alleged that the Adani Group knowingly engaged in corporate fraud, stock market manipulation and improper usage of offshore funds. While a few of the conglomerate shares have seen a mild recovery on the bourses after a deep plunge, others could still be considered to be in a free-fall. Adani Total Gas, Adani Power, Adani Green Energy and Adani Transmission scrips haven’t had any respite and continue to take a beating. However, Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports and SEZ and Adani Wilmar have seen marginal gains over the past few weeks.Adani Green Energy

From the 24 January closing price of Rs 1,916.8, the scrip has fallen 67.8% to close at Rs 616.30 on Thursday. However, Adani Green Energy shares increased by 4% on Friday, halting a 12-day losing streak. Reuters reported that Adani Green has a refinancing plan, which will be revealed after this fiscal year ends. As a result, Adani Green Energy’s shares rose 3.63% to reach Rs 629.15, having previously fallen to a low of Rs 591 on February 16.

Adani Power

Since 24 January, Adani Power has fallen 46.1% to close at Rs 147.8. Last year, in August, Adani Power agreed to take control of DB Power at an enterprise value of $850 million. However, the company called off its plan to acquire the coal plant, as billionaire Gautam Adani looks to rein in spending and rebuild investor confidence. These reports have given the scrip upwards momentum as it hit its upper circuit of 5% for the second session in a row.
