Waaree Energies share price dropped nearly 20 percent in the last three sessions on fears of a decline in renewable energy exports to the United States.
President-elect Donald Trump, in his victory speech, mentioned that he would stop renewable projects on “day one” of his office. Currently, several large Indian firms export solar modules to the US.
Waaree Energies stock declined 6.66 percent on November 11 to its intraday low of Rs 2,924.80 per share on the NSE. It opened gap down with a loss of 2 percent today. The scrip has been on a declining trend for the last three trading sessions, down by 19.18 percent.
Analyst believes that some Indian companies, like Waaree, have a US export component in their revenue and may need to adjust their expansion plans if the US prioritises domestic manufacturing.
Sagar Shetty, Research Analyst at Stoxbox noted that the primary cause of this declining trend is worries about possible declines in renewable energy exports to the United States after President-elect Trump's remarks about limiting renewable projects.
Waaree and other Indian companies rely on US exports for a percentage of their income, which could be compromised if the United States prioritizes home production over imports.
"Profit booking made the stock even more volatile despite high initial demand and a noticeable listing premium. The company’s short-term volatility could continue due to geopolitical threats and investors taking advantage of listing gains. However, long-term growth is still expected to be positive, backed by healthy financial performance and increasing expansion," he added.
The major effects will be felt over the medium term, within three to four years, though “the short-term impact is expected to be minimal," Rupesh Sankhe, Senior Analyst at Elara Capital told Moneycontrol in its earlier report.
