Adani Group stocks decline 16-52% from their 52-week highs

- SUNDAR SETHURAMAN Mumbai, 17 August

Adani group stocks have fallen up to 52 per cent from their 52 week-highs in less than three months. Among the Adani group companies, Adani Power has witnessed the sharpest decline — a 52 per cent fall from its 52-week high hit on June 9, 2021.

Among others, Adani Total Gas has declined 42.5 per cent, Adani Transmissi­on 38.2 per cent, Adani Green Energy 32.9 per cent, Adani Ports and SEZ 23.1 per cent, and Adani Enterprise­s by 16.1 per cent.

All the group stocks hit their 52-week highs in Mayjune 2021. The sharp decline began after heavy selling pressure following a report that was later denied by the group.

The group, on the other hand, said it is expecting double-digit growth in FY22 across its verticals, including electricit­y generation, ports, and renewable energy.

Adani Group shares have had a stellar run over the past few years.

Earlier this year, the group became the fourth business conglomera­te to cross $100 billion in market cap — after Tata Group, HDFC Group, and Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Group.

At one point a year ago, Adani Group's market cap was less than ~2 trillion. Analysts say the recent decline can be attributed to profit-taking by investors after the stellar run on the bourses.
