Waaree Energies shares were trading marginally higher by 0.46 percent at Rs 2,709.35 per share on the NSE on December 4 at around 10:50 am, marking a sharp decline from their record high. Despite trading 8.37 percent above the listing price of Rs 2,500 on October 28, the stock has witnessed significant volatility in recent weeks.
The stock has corrected by a steep 27.61 percent since hitting an all-time high of Rs 3,743 on November 6, raising questions about its long-term performance amid fears of declining renewable energy exports to the United States.
Market watchers attributed the decline to uncertainties surrounding the future of India's renewable energy exports, particularly solar modules, following the recent election of Donald Trump as US President. Trump’s victory speech signaled a potential rollback of renewable energy projects, which could weigh heavily on Indian exporters.
Kushal Gandhi, Technical Analyst at StoxBox, noted the stock's meteoric rise and subsequent correction. “Waaree Energies’ share price appreciated by 62 percent from its listing-day low to hit a record high of Rs 3,743 within six trading sessions. However, profit-taking led to a 33 percent correction,” Gandhi said.
He added, “The stock is currently trading near a crucial demand zone around Rs 2,500. Maintaining this level is critical to regain bullish momentum. We foresee an accumulation phase that could precede a trend reversal. In the short term, we expect the stock to target Rs 2,997, with a recommended stop loss at Rs 2,584.”
Meanwhile, a Reuters report highlighted the potential impact on US renewable energy projects. While President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) aimed to secure billions of dollars in subsidies for solar and wind energy, experts believe Trump may attempt to slow these efforts.
From a broader perspective, Gandhi suggested medium-term opportunities in stocks like Siemens, CG Power, and BHEL, citing their relatively lower risk and higher growth potential compared to Waaree Energies at current valuations.
Shares of Waaree Energies made a market debut on October 28 by listing at Rs 2,500 apiece at a massive premium of 66.3 percent over the issue price of Rs 1,503 per share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
The Rs 4,321-crore IPO witnessed strong demand with the offer being oversubscribed 76.34 times. Investors bid for 160.91 crore shares, far exceeding the 2.1 crore shares on offer, according to exchange data.
