Adani returns for Chinese New Year, CSI 300, New Zealand trade

shares Adani Enterprises Shares rose 10 percent after sharp losses in previous sessions as its chief financial officer expressed confidence in a follow-on public offering that is due to close on Jan. 10. 31.

The stock is still down more than 20% for the first month of the year.

Daniel Newman, founding partner and principal analyst at Futurum Research, told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia” on Monday that it could take a decade for China to catch up in advanced chips as the Netherlands and Japan join the U.S. technology.

The two advanced semiconductor equipment makers agreed on Friday to join the United States in restricting exports of some chip-making equipment to China, Bloomberg reported.

One of China’s biggest suppliers is Dutch company ASML, which makes the deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography systems needed to make the most advanced chips.

Its chief executive, Paul Wennink, has said that China will account for about 15% of sales by 2022.

“The advanced lithography machines ASML makes are some of the most advanced in the world. It’s not something that other companies can start making. If China really made up its mind, it could take a decade,” Newman said.

Adani Group chief financial officer Jugeshinder Singh said on Monday that he is confident Adani Enterprises‘ The subsequent public offering will be fully subscribed.

Shares in the conglomerate’s affiliates tumbled for a second straight session after short-selling firm Hindenburg accused the group of “participating in a brazen scheme of stock manipulation and accounting fraud, leading to $2.5 billion in secondary share sales being closed. Overshadowed by a $48 billion plunge. The course of decades.”

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, a subsidiary of CNBC, Singh said that the value of Adani’s enterprise has not changed “just because of” stock price fluctuations, but in its “ability to incubate new businesses.”

He added that Hindenburg’s report was “a complete lie” and that its timing was “malicious.”

Adani Group published a lengthy response of more than 400 pages to Hindenburg’s report over the weekend, saying it would exercise its right to “seek remedies” to protect its stakeholders “before all relevant authorities”.

Hindenburg called the group’s response “bloated” on Monday morning and claimed it “disregarded” every key accusation against the conglomerate it had made.
