Adani Enterprises stock set for 28% upside, says Jefferies; cites these factors

Adani Enterprises is in focus in a defence development.

22 Sept 2026 · Business Today Mkts

Airports, Roads, Data Centres, Defence and Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) currently form part of Adani Enterprises key incubation portfolio.

Adani Enterprises reported movement of 28%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is -3.6% on the day at ₹2,746.90, and has returned -10.8% over three months. It sits 14% below its 52-week high. The infrastructure sector has moved -14.3% over the same period, so Adani Enterprises is running 3.5 points ahead of its peers.

For Adani Enterprises, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the infrastructure peer set alongside it.

  • Defence orders carry long execution tails and policy tailwinds, which the market values for their visibility.
  • The company directly in focus is ADANIENT.
  • Sector exposure: Infrastructure.
