Gautam Adani’s group voiced optimism on Sunday that its flagship firm Adani Enterprises’ Rs 20,000 crore Follow on Public Offer (FPO) will go ahead despite a significant drop in the conglomerate’s shares.
“The declaration from Adani Enterprises that the FPO is on schedule and that the pricing band has not changed is critical. This might be regarded as a reflection of management’s belief in the FPO’s success “Geojit Financial Services’ Chief Investment Strategist, V K Vijayakumar, stated.
Meanwhile, Hindenburg Research has dismissed the Adani group’s claim that its research was an attack on India, claiming that a “fraud” cannot be masked by nationalism or a bloated response that neglected major claims.
