Today’s trading session on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is seeing notable action from a mix of banking and power stocks. YES Bank and Adani Power are among the top gainers, fueling market moves. Here’s a closer look at what’s driving their gains and which other stocks are seeing momentum.
Key Movers
- Adani Power has been surging in recent days, up sharply after the conglomerate received a regulatory boost. SEBI’s recent dismissal of certain allegations by Hindenburg Research has lifted investor sentiment toward Adani group stocks.
- YES Bank is also seeing strength. Shares have rallied about 10% in the past month, following Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) increasing its stake to nearly 25% — a move seen as a strong vote of confidence in the bank’s turnaround efforts. Analysts are eyeing a potential near-term target of ~₹25.
Other Stocks & Trends
- Adani Power recently hit a 52-week high (~₹170.15) after a robust up-move of ~40% in one month.
- Also on NSE, several Adani group firms are extending their gains following SEBI’s clean-chit on specific allegations, contributing to renewed interest from investors.
- On the banking front, apart from YES Bank, other private banks are also in focus, but YES Bank seems to be leading on volume and sentiment.
What’s Fueling the Rally
- Regulatory Clarity — The SEBI ruling has removed some of the overhang for Adani group stocks and provided legitimacy to some of the firm’s transactions.
- Stake Increase & Foreign Interest — SMBC’s increased stake in YES Bank has helped shore up investor confidence. The participation of a large foreign institutional player is seen as strengthening the perception of stability and potential growth.
- Technical Breakouts — Adani Power’s climb to 52-week highs and YES Bank’s recent trading above resistance levels are drawing momentum traders and short-term speculators.
Risks & What to Watch
- Profit Booking: Adani Power is already showing some signs of profit taking post its recent sharp rally. Intraday highs have been followed by pullbacks.
- Valuation Concerns: With sharp moves, valuations may stretch, and investors must watch for any earnings or policy news that might disagree with high expectation.
- Regulatory / Policy Overhang: Although SEBI dismissed certain allegations for Adani, other regulatory issues remain under scrutiny. For YES Bank, performance needs to match expectations, and any negative surprises (non-performing assets, regulatory constraints) could lead to reversals.
- Broader Market Sentiment: Moves in these stocks are also contingent on broader market cues — interest rates, RBI policy, global cues affecting investor risk appetite.
YES Bank and Adani Power are currently among the biggest watching points on NSE because they combine strong recent triggers (stake purchases, regulatory clarity) with positive technicals. For investors, the opportunity seems real, but so does the risk — especially if expectations are baked in too tightly.
