Why Adani Total Gas Share Price is Falling

Social media has been trending with #Adani.

Shares of most Adani group stocks have witnessed a steep selloff. Gautam Adani, the billionaire businessman, has slid to fourth place on the world's richest list.

This came in after Hindenburg Research released its report on the Adani group.

Nathan Anderson, the creator of Hindenburg Research, has gained notoriety in recent years for his stock-sinking analysis.

The short seller has now targeted the Adani Group, which he remarks as 'The Largest Con in Corporate History.'

Amid this steep fall in the group, shares of Adani Total gas have fallen 20% in the last two session.

Here is the full story and other factors that have caused the stock to take a hit in the last few months.

Hindenburg report rout

Hindenburg Research published a report on 24 January 2023 titled - Adani Group: How The World's 3rd Richest Man Is Pulling The Largest Con In Corporate History, alleging that the group is engaged in brazen stock manipulation.

The report identified numerous instances of undisclosed related-party transactions and earnings manipulation for healthy financials.

The firm also took a short position in Adani Group companies after a two-year investigation based on interviews with former executives, site visits in multiple countries and document reviews.

The allegations come ahead of an ambitious US$2.5 bn follow-on public offer (FPO).

Replying to the allegation, the Adani group called the report a malicious combination of selective misinformation and stale, baseless and discredited allegations.

The company has further questioned the timing of the report, having the cruel purpose to harm the upcoming Adani group FPO.

The company is also planning to issue a detailed report for all the questions of Hindenburg research.
