Adani Enterprises, the flagship firm of the Adani Group, surged 4% to ₹2,388.95 intra-day on February 11, 2025. Other stocks in the Adani Group also saw a rise, as Adani Power, Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani Ports gained between 1% and 3% on the BSE.
Despite the short-term boost, Adani Enterprises' share price has witnessed a fall of as much as 47% in the past year. It thus underperformed the 8% rise in the BSE Sensex during the same timeframe by a massive margin. This indicates that although the rally is impressive now, the stock may face challenges in the long term.
The primary catalyst behind the stock's recent rally is the Adani family's commitment of ₹6,000 crore (US$686 million) for healthcare investments. The investment is for the establishment of 1,000-bed hospitals in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. These hospitals, in partnership with the Mayo Clinic, aim to enhance healthcare infrastructure and medical education in India.
The announcement aligns with Gautam Adani’s vision to develop Adani Health City (AHC), an integrated healthcare campus, through the group’s not-for-profit healthcare arm. Investors have responded positively to this development, viewing it as a significant long-term growth initiative.
AEL remains one of India's largest listed incubators, spinning off businesses such as Adani Ports, Adani Wilmar, Adani Green Energy, Adani Power, and Adani Total Gas. The company is currently incubating new ventures, including:
1. Airports
2. Solar module & wind turbine manufacturing
3. Green hydrogen projects
4. Road construction
5. Data centers
6. Copper production
AEL plans to invest ₹6.5–7.0 trillion in capex over the next decade. It will be predominantly debt-funded and the net debt-to-equity ratio will go up from 1.2x in FY24 to 1.8x by FY27, Ventura Securities said.
Despite the recent rally, Adani Enterprises has faced pressure due to legal and regulatory challenges. In December 2024, the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an indictment and civil suit against Gautam Adani, dragging investor sentiments.
This led CARE Ratings to change its outlook on AEL from "positive" to "stable," citing apprehensions over the large-scale capex and fundraising issues of the company. However, prospective equity dilution in Adani Wilmar and monetization of airports and road projects provide financial flexibility for the group.
