Adani Energy Solutions shares could rise up to 125%, says Global Brokerage Cantor

Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) is making waves in the stock market as analysts project a staggering 125% increase in its share value. On September 20, AESL shares showed positive momentum, reaching an intraday high of ₹1,014.90, reflecting a gain of 3.66% from the previous close. This resurgence follows two days of declines, illustrating the stock's resilience.

Over the past year, AESL has demonstrated steady growth, with a 17.68% rise on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The long-term performance is even more impressive, with a remarkable 353.36% increase over the last five years, enriching investors significantly. This growth can be attributed to the company's diversified portfolio, which encompasses various segments, including transmission and distribution assets, as well as a smart metering division.

Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald have identified AESL as a compelling investment opportunity within the rapidly evolving energy sector in India. The brokerage firm assigned an "Overweight" rating on the stock, setting a target price of ₹2,251. This ambitious projection is based on expected revenue growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% from fiscal 2024 to 2027.

The report highlights AESL’s significant role in India’s energy landscape, particularly as the country aims to meet the electricity needs of its 1.4 billion citizens. With an enterprise value of $18.5 billion, AESL is positioned to leverage the burgeoning demand for renewable energy sources. The transition towards renewable energy will necessitate enhanced infrastructure for transmission and distribution, an area where AESL is strategically focused.

Cantor Fitzgerald anticipates strong growth for AESL’s transmission segment, particularly as the company embarks on completing nine significant projects over the next 18 to 24 months. As India continues to invest heavily in renewable energy, AESL stands to benefit from these initiatives, ensuring a robust infrastructure to support the increasing demand for electricity.
