As per the Adani group, the Hindenburg report accusing the group of stock manipulation and accounting frauds was neither ‘independent’ nor ‘objective’ nor ‘well researched’. But that still managed to instill concerns among investors and pushed prices of Adani group stocks lower, so much so that Hindenburg’s fair value of 85 per cent for Adani group stocks on ‘fundamental basis’ is coming true.

As one month of Hindenburg report completes today, the group market capitalization (m-cap) is down Rs 11,99,256.66 crore (as per Friday’s intraday prices) at Rs 7,20,632 crore, just above the m-cap of IT major Infosys. This is against a group m-cap of Rs 19,19,888 crore on January 24.
