Why Adani Total Gas has crashed over 80%, while Adani Ports has fallen just 27%

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
MUMBAI: Adani Group stocks have actually been falling relentlessly given that the damning report by Hindenburg was released on January 24
Over Rs 12 lakh crore in regards to market capitalisation of the Adani scrips has actually been wiped out, but not all group stocks have
actually fallen in sync
This is where the valuation of private stocks enters play
The deep plunge has been possible due to sky-high valuations
The Adani Total Gas stock has crashed nearly 81% given that January 24, while Adani Ports has dived 27% in the exact same duration-- the
fall is in sync with how overvalued they were
Adani Total Gas stock was trading at a multiple of 844 times its revenues on January 24, a number that not even the very best disruptive
technology business can possess, while Adani Ports was at 30 times, according to price-to-earnings (PE) ratios sourced from Refinitiv
database
Stocks that had relatively lower valuations have actually fallen less
ACC, which had a PE ratio of 54, has actually fallen the least (26%) amongst the 10 Adani Group stocks, followed by Adani Ports (27%) and
Ambuja Cements (31%)
A businesss PE ratio is among the indications of how underestimated or overpriced a scrip is in relation to its profit
Technology and customer brand names, apart from other high-growth companies, normally command steeper evaluations than infrastructure or
state-owned business
TCS has a PE ratio of 31, but Tata Steel has 5
Indraprastha Gas has a PE ratio of 18, while Mahanagar Gas has 13-- both these remain in the very same service as Adani Total Gas.A stock
rate indicates the marketplaces perception

driven by speculative interest, keeping valuation at a stratospheric 16 times premium to the sector
That month, Adani Transmission had a PE ratio of 114, which had more than doubled to 351 by January 24 this year
Currently, it is at 73
The May 2021 ET report was quoted by Hindenburg Research in its study.In November 2022, V K Vijayakumar, chief financial investment
strategist at Geojit Financial Services, had alluded to stratospheric evaluations too

of issue, he had stated in a report

business may not be a take deal even after the selloff

revenues
