It was another day of declines for stocks on Monday, with six out of the 10 listed firms ending with losses.

Flagship company (AEL) saw its share price decline by 0.7 per cent to close at Rs 1,572.4, extending its year-to-date (YTD) loss to nearly 60 per cent. Adani Ports & SEZ, on the other hand, rose 9 per cent to close Rs 546. Adani Total Gas, Adani Green Energy, Adani Power and Adani Wilmar hit their 5 per cent lower limit, while Adani Transmission too hit a 10 per cent lower circuit.

Aswath Damodaran, a valuation expert and Professor of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business, wrote that the market was overstretched when it valued the Adani collectively at $220 billion (Rs 17,600 billion) and at $53 billion (Rs 4,243 billion). He arrived at a price target of Rs 945 for AEL.

The stocks have shed Rs 9.4 trillion in market value since January 24 after US-based Hindenburg Research accused it of brazen stock manipulation, accounting fraud, and use of extreme leverage. On Monday, the group’s mcap fell another Rs 27,447 crore to finish at Rs 9.82 trillion.
