The flagship Adani group company Adani Enterprises rose 3% to Rs 2,550. The company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 1,492 crore for the second quarter of FY27, as against the Rs 3,304 crore net profit reported in the same period last year, as the base quarter bottomline was buoyed by exceptional gains worth Rs 3,583 crore.

Jefferies, in its bullcase, forecasts 70% upside. It said that Adani Enterprises (AEL) has incubated several industry-leading businesses over the past decade across ports, power, city gas distribution (CGD), transmission and FMCG. The Adani Group has established a track record of executing large-scale infrastructure projects, and the brokerage expects AEL's newer businesses in green hydrogen, airports, data centres, roads and copper to emerge as industry leaders.

Jefferies sees AEL benefiting from India's underpenetrated aviation market through its airport business, which offers exposure to consumer spending. The brokerage also highlighted the data centre business as a beneficiary of India's growing digital economy, while newer ventures such as copper and PVC could gain from the country's push towards import substitution.
