Market movers: Adani Green hits m-cap of Rs 3 lakh cr, now more valuable than ITC, Titan

NEW DELHI: There are some stocks that see buying no matter how the overall market is performing. One such name is Adani Green Energy, a 4,800-bagger of the last three years.

The company’s stock hit another milestone on Tuesday, touching a market cap of Rs 3 lakh crore as the share price rose to a high of Rs 1,919. Eventually, the stock ended up 4.31 per cent at Rs 1,906.80.

The stock is a favourite of investors, though there are not many analysts tracking the counter as the reason behind its meteoric rise has been an enigma. Ventura Securities came out with a rare coverage last month, with a ‘BUY’ rating and two-year target price at Rs 2,810.

Adani Green Energy is now more valuable than the likes of Bajaj Finserv, Avenue Supermarts, Larsen & Toubro, ITC, Maruti Suzuki and Titan Company.
