NEW DELHI: A rally in the stocks of companies controlled by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has added almost $43 billion to his wealth this year, catapulting him to the spot of the second-richest person in Asia. Some analysts say the gains are fraught with risk.
Adani’s net worth of $76.7 billion got a boost from a 330% jump in Adani Total Gas Ltd, a 235% rise in his conglomerate’s flagship Adani Enterprises Ltd and a 263% increase in Adani Transmission Ltd this year. Adani group stocks, especially these three, “look extended,” Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Gaurav Patankar and Nitin Chanduka wrote in a June 10 note after analyzing technical indicators.
