Pause in Adani Rout

Shares of Adani Enterprises surged, leading gains in the group stocks after the conglomerate's founders pre-paid some debt and traders covered short positions.

The group's flagship stock rallied as much as 25%, while three of its peers jumped by their 5% limit in early trading.

This helped trim the slump in the group's market capitalization to US$ 112 billion (bn) since US-based Hindenburg Research released a report on 24 January 2023 alleging market manipulation and accounting fraud claims Adani group has repeatedly denied. The loss was US$ 118 bn as of Monday.

The reprieve came as Gautam Adani and his family prepaid US$ 1.1 bn worth of debt in a bid to calm a selloff that sparked fears of contagion across the economy.

Concerns had grown over the billionaire's access to funding amid the turmoil and scheduled release of four group companies' earnings on Tuesday.

Hindenburg's accusations have propelled long-held concerns about the group's debt-fueled expansion onto the global stage.

According to value investor Aswath Damodaran, Adani Enterprises has around 40% more downside. To know why, check out our editorial What should you think about Aswath Damodaran's views on Adani enterprises?
