Adani Enterprises Poised for Over 50% Growth

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. asserts that the Adani Group's flagship company, Adani Enterprises Ltd., holds the potential for a gain exceeding 50%, citing its central role in India's economic aspirations. Analysts Brett Knoblauch and Thomas Shinske, in a note dated Jan. 28, initiated coverage with an overweight rating, deeming the risk-reward ratio attractive at current levels.

The US-based broker set a price target of 4,368 rupees, indicating a 51% upside from Thursday's close, standing as the sole active recommendation on the stock. Adani Enterprises witnessed a surge of up to 5.4%, and other group firms also experienced gains.

Cantor's bullish recommendation is expected to boost confidence in Gautam Adani's conglomerate, which faced a critical report from a US short seller around the same time last year. The collective market value of the Adani companies has more than doubled to $185 billion from a record low of $82 billion in February.

The current valuation of Adani Enterprises primarily stems from its airports, roads, and the new energy segment. Analysts highlight that investors are essentially acquiring ""six other businesses for free,"" contributing over 85% of revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2023, with many currently in an incubation phase.

Despite concerns raised by the Hindenburg report, Cantor notes that the company has taken steps to mitigate liquidity risk and enhance governance and transparency. The analysts argue that, at this juncture, Adani is too substantial to overlook.

Gautam Adani has consistently refuted the fraud allegations presented by Hindenburg, which, at one point, led to a loss of over $150 billion in the group's market value.
