Adani Power said its consolidated total revenue grew by 16.80 per cent to Rs 18,109 crore in Q1 FY24 over Rs 15,509 crore in the year-ago period, mainly due to improved volumes, higher one-time revenue recognition on account of regulatory claims and late payment surcharge.
On the technical setup, analysts were divided on the counter. The stock may see support at Rs 305, one of them said.
Market expert Ravi Singh said, “Adani Power is looking strong on long-term and short-term moving averages. Other momentum indicators such as RSI (Relative strength index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) are also in support of the trend. The stock may touch the levels of Rs 350 in coming weeks.
AR Ramachandran from Tips2trades said, “Adani Power looks slightly bullish but also overbought on the daily charts with next resistance at Rs 335. A daily close below support of Rs 305 could lead to target of Rs 283 in the near term.”
