Speaking of the current stock market scenario, the report by Hindenburg Research has put Adani group stocks under immense selling pressure. Although some of the group stocks have recovered, there are others that are still bleeding.

So, is it a good time to consider adding Adani stocks to your portfolio or are they still expensive?

Co-head of research at Equitymaster, Rahul Shah wonders whether the Adani correction has created a great buying opportunity.

Tune in to the video below to know more...

Also, to understand what our readers are thinking about the budget announced today we ran a poll on Equitymaster's telegram channel.

This is what we asked our readers:

With a response from over 400 participants, majority of investors rate budget in the scale of 7-9%.

Adani Enterprises FPO cancelled

The board of Adani Enterprises scrapped its Rs 200 billion (bn) (about Rs 20,000 crore) follow-on public offering (FPO), citing investor protection concerns, as a massive selloff in Adani group stocks continued for a fifth day after a scathing report alleging accounting fraud and stock manipulation was released by a US short seller.

Billionaire Gautam Adani's flagship is now working on returning the funds raised from investors lying in an escrow account.

The company's withdrawal comes on a day the shares of Adani Enterprises plunged nearly 29%, dealing a massive blow to institutional investors and family offices that rescued the offer on the last day.

Top Adani group stocks are under pressure even today.

Titan Q3 results

One of the best Tata Group stocks will release its earnings today.

Backed by the healthy consumer demand during the festive season, the company saw a 12% on-year growth in combined sales in the standalone business during the December quarter, according to the provisional update it provided in January.

The positive consumer sentiment helped all categories clock healthy double-digit growth, despite a high base in the same period of last year.

Titan has been investors' favourite stock for a long time now.

The stock of Titan gained over 350% in six years after Tanushree Banerjee first recommended it to StockSelect subscribers in January 2005.

So, every lakh turned into Rs 4.5 lakh.

Holding on to the stock till date would have fetched Rs 1.4 crores!

And there is more to it.

You did not even need a big sum to accumulate these crores. Even a tiny investment of Rs 1,000 per month in the stock of Titan, since 2002, would have led to mouth-watering results.

Take a look at how the power of compounding has gone wild here...

The key lesson here is that it's possible to accumulate a few crores by investing small amounts in good businesses. Especially when the business is in distress and comes with margin of safety in valuations.

Raymond Q3 results

Raymond on Wednesday reported a decline of 4.4% in its December quarter net profit at Rs 966 m, mainly on account of a one-time tax hit.

The company had posted a net profit of Rs 1,010.7 m during the October-December period of the previous fiscal.

Its revenue from operations rose 17.6% to Rs 21.7 bn during the quarter under review, as against Rs 18.4 bn in the year-ago period.

According to Raymond, it has recorded the highest-ever revenues in a quarter.

Total expenses were at Rs 19.8 bn, up 17.3% from Rs 16.9 bn earlier.

Raymond has exercised the option of lower corporate tax rate which has resulted in one-time net impact of Rs 735 m in the profit and loss account.

Its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) was at Rs 3,510 m in the quarter under review.

This was the fifth straight quarter where Raymond registered strong performance and overall generated free cash flows to further deleverage the balance sheet to below Rs 10 bn of net debt levels.

Speaking of Raymond, did you know that it is one of the top stocks to watch this wedding season?
