Adani Group stocks have had a very difficult time at the bourses this year. One of the hardest hit was Adani Green Energy which fell over 80% after the Hindenburg report. Even as the stock has recovered quite a bit from the lows it witnessed, it is still down 50% from the levels it was trading at before the Hindenburg report.
The Investment: So, if you had invested ₹10,000 in Adani Green on Feb. 24 when the stock closed at ₹539.05 — a month after US-based Hindenburg Research accused Gautam Adani of "pulling the largest con in corporate history" — you would have bought approximately 18 shares. With the current market price at ₹952, your investment would now be worth approximately ₹17,668.60. That’s a substantial return of over 76% in just a few months.
Background: The Adani Group faced a tumultuous 2023 following allegations of financial impropriety by US-based Hindenburg Research. The report accused the conglomerate of stock manipulation, over-leveraging, and accounting fraud. Despite these serious charges, Adani Green and other group stocks have made a considerable recovery.
