 Macrotech Developers Ltd

The shares of Macrotech Developers Ltd rallied nearly 40% in the last 5 trading sessions. The company has not made any significant announcements of late. Hence, the rally in the share price could be driven purely by market forces.

Adani Enterprises Ltd

On 1st March 2023, some media sources reported that SEBI, in its investigation of the Adani Group (pertaining to the Hindenburg allegations) has not found any irregularities yet. While there was no official statement from SEBI, this news may have provided some respite to the plunging share prices of Adani Group.

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd

The shares of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd rallied over 10% in the last 5 trading sessions. The rise in share price could be attributed to the media reports stating that SEBI has not found any irregularities in its investigation against the Adani Group following the Hindenburg accusations.
