Shares of three Adani Group companies continued to hit their respective 52-week lows in Tuesday’s session. Adani Total Gas, Adani Transmission and Adani Green Energy were locked in the lower price band levels in early trade. Since January 24 this year, Adani stocks took a major hit after US-based short seller Hindenburg Research alleged that the Gautam Adani-led Indian conglomerate had engaged in stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the last few decades. Adani Group, however, refuted the claim as baseless.
Adani Total’s stock dived 5 per cent today to touch its 52-week low of Rs 878.85 over a previous close of Rs 925.10, extending its fall for 21 straight days. The counter has lost 77.57 per cent in 21 sessions. In terms of earnings, Adani Total reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 150 crore for the December quarter (Q3 FY23), up 17 per cent from Rs 128 crore in the same quarter a year ago.
Adani Transmission also tanked 5 per cent to hit a one-year low of Rs 830.25. The stock has declined 36.83 per cent in nine days. Adani Transmission posted a 73 per cent jump in consolidated net profit, at Rs 478 crore, in Q3 FY23 as against Rs 267 crore in the year-ago period, aided by a one-time income of Rs 240 crore from a regulatory order.
Adani Green’s stock also fell in a similar quantum to hit its 52-week low level of Rs 567.65. The company’s consolidated net profit more than doubled to Rs 103 crore in Q3 FY23 against Rs 49 crore in the same period a year ago.
