Adani Total Gas Posts 27% Gain in Past Month; Analysts Weigh Overvaluation Concerns
Adani Total Gas Shares Reach New High Amid Sustained Buying Interest
Adani Total Gas shares extended their gains for the fifth straight session on Wednesday, touching a fresh 52-week high as buying interest remained strong. The stock rose to a high of Rs 830 per share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), representing a 16 percent increase.
The company's recent rally has been driven by a series of domestic compressed natural gas (CNG) price hikes and its strong March quarter earnings. CNG prices have been increased four times in the last two weeks, driven by higher global energy costs and geopolitical tensions in West Asia. These price revisions are expected to improve realisations for city gas distributors, potentially leading to gains in profitability in the coming quarters.
According to BSE analytics data, the stock has risen over 27 percent in the past one month. The company's market capitalisation has climbed to Rs 89,436.56 crore. Analysts have noted that while the recent momentum has been strong, near-term consolidation cannot be ruled out.

The stock's technical analysis suggests that it has seen a sharp breakout with strong volumes and sustained price action. It has moved above its short-term moving averages and is approaching a key resistance zone around 780-800 levels. If the stock holds above the 740 level, it may see further upside with potential targets of 850 and 900 in the near term.
However, momentum indicators show that the stock is in overbought territory, which could lead to consolidation in the near term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved above 75, indicating that the stock may experience some correction.
In terms of financial performance, Adani Total Gas reported a 9 percent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 168.34 crore compared with Rs 154.59 crore in the same period last year. On a sequential basis, profit rose 8 percent from Rs 157.22 crore in the December quarter. Revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,694.61 crore in Q4, up 16.62 percent from Rs 1,453.37 crore in the year-ago period.
