Hindenburg research is an investment research firm which specialises in short selling using a very simple four step process.
Step 1, find a company with something going wrong that isn’t yet public knowledge, like a serious fault in their growth model, a significant market threat, or just plain old systemic fraud, as is the case with this Adani situation.
Step 2, short the companies stock.
Step 3, make a public announcement in the firm of a research paper accompanied by a big marketing campaign to expose the problems with the company so that other investors also short sell the business which will push the price down.
Step 4, exit the short positions at the new low price with a healthy profit.
It’s a simple process that has made the appropriately named Hindenburg research and other investment firms using a similar strategy have made lots of money be exposing corporate frauds before.
The great thing about this strategy for the short selling research firm is that even if the underlying problems with the company turn out to not be true, just the market panic caused by a widely circulated accusation of corporate fraud can be enough to push the stock price down for long enough to allow the firm to cash out their short position at a profit.
If the allegations do end up being overblown, then the short sellers that followed the lead of the initial short selling research firm can end up burnt as the stock rallies back to its original price.
Bill Ackman the Manager of the hedge fund Pershing Square Capital put a lot of investors in this position with his failed short play on the multi-level marketing company Herbalife. Ackman accused the company of being a fraudulent pyramid scheme after taking on a major short position combined with a marketing campaign that even included a documentary, Betting On Zero.
The short failed to play out as regulars didn’t file any charges against the company and it continues to operate to this day with a stock price even higher than it was before Ackmans short sale.
The failed short play hurt Ackmans reputation meaning other short sellers will be less likely to follow him into similar positions in the future making it harder for him to profit off this four-step plan in the future.
A good reputation for digging up credible problems are very important for making this investment play work, so how is Hindenburg’s track record?
Hindenburg’s last big short play was against Nikola motors and their CEO Trevor Milton. After their report was released to the investing public, Nikolas stock price fell 40% and an investigation by the SEC was opened into Milton which eventually resulted in a conviction for wire and securities fraud.
Since the paper was published in September of 2020 Nikola stock is down over 90%, so when the same investment firm made similar accusations against one of the largest conglomerates in India, it understandably drew some attention.
The seven publicly listed companies in the Adani group are now down over 50% from the record high prices they were trading at before Hindenburg’s report was made public. Investors are now taking sides because there is a lot of money to be made no matter what happens from now on.
If it turns out that the short thesis presented by Hindenburg research is true, then the stocks could fall even further making a lot of money for short sellers following Hindenburg’s lead.
If the report turns out to baseless FUD coming from an investment firm with a financial conflict of interest against the Adani group or if Indian authorities do not prosecute the Adani group for the alleged crimes, then the stocks could rally back to their previous trading highs leaving short sellers with a potential 100% loss on their positions.
For everybody else on the side lines it is going to be fun to watch, so it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how the Adani fraud actually worked to create so much excess value in the stock’s price.

I'd say that was an oversimplification of what happened with Herbalife. Carl Icahn started using the stock as a way of getting back at Ackman. Plus, it was quite surprising to many that regulators didn't step in. I think most informed people found the thesis behind the Herbalife short to be quite strong.

Investing in stocks is distinct from stashing funds into a savings account that earns an average of 3% per year. The returns will fluctuate from one year to the next, sometimes by a fair amount. The 3% return from the bank is really a weighted average of some stellar years and some more catastrophic years.

There isn't a big business in the world that does have some political backing. Most of these accusations only partially legitimate. None of this is whistle blowing, it's all publicly available info. And in reality none of this is completely illegal and is international standard practice. This is geopolitically and politically motivated move executed by 2nd rated hit corp. Markets run on sentiments not logic. As for unknown auditors, there have been scams where companies have been audited by known auditors with experience of 25-30 years. There's alot of foreign banks that have funded Adani including in US. You think they don't know about this? Then don't know how to do due diligence? After this episode of hit job, do you know UAE invested in Adani as soon as it fell? Hindenburg is an unknown (no registered address, no known team members) 2nd rated activist "research" organisation that makes money by short selling. They earn by "researching" companies for their clients (which are other companies that short sell). Any CA who has been inside the industry knows about things I have said. It's not rocket science to pump share price by numerous authentic companies, they can stay under the radar. You think Tesla wasn't systematically spiked? It's a clear example of inflated shares price. KZreadrs just like to milk a topic overblown by media.

So, in an interview, Adani said he has the lowest bids in any project he's given, one way to afford those low bids is having little to none profit margins on the projects, but purely to keep a positive sentiment on its stocks. How does he afford that? Simple, have majority of approx. 85% shareholding publicly (and via offshore companies) in most of its companies. Which then makes it a low float stock. Pledge those shares, and pump it up from the lended money. And the thing about such a low float is, for example, if you buy the stock by 1 billion, the stock value could go up by 3 billion. So, now u have a bigger value, which u then pledge and continue this never ending process. It's pretty similar to a ponzi scheme.

In the end Gautam adani won his networth has again reached 100 billion (still less than 130 billion in 2022) but it's growing. This time hindenburg group made a big mistake, nate anderson underestimated the true power of adani. Indian market is different than US market, also nate anderson (and george soros) made some really powerful enemies, let's hope anderson does'nt end up like jamal khashoggi.

Dear "how money works", you should upgrade your game by learning about geoeconomics. These people are more geopolitical actors of their countries (or foreign countries) rather than businessmen. If someone doesn't dive into that, any further analysis will not even scratch the surface of how the game is actually played.
The investors put money because the company make good money, and than they want the company to change? maybe this family management it's what make them so big?
The points are correct, but not illegal 😊
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Roger mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

This dodgy practice of share holdings owned by offshore entities is an old problem with an easy fix but need political guts to execute. All they need to do is make a law that the offshore entity either has to nominate the ultimate (real person) beneficiary or any dividends or payments to that offshore entity is taxed severely.

This is half the story, well 10%, the real story is the Nexus between Modi and Adani. Modi literally offered ports, airports, cement companies, power plants, coals tenders, logitcs, media, telecom etc etc for peanuts. Govt agencies raid companies and Adani buys them soon after, that's the story with almost all the acquisitions.

Your ignorance is so cringe. The place where Adani is building ports is such a bad land that the mount that needs to be invested is astronomical, that's is why the land is cheap. The most of other things are bought through bidding. Adani was pretty tight with congress when they were in power, good political relations is a requirement for all big business around the world.

This is the channel what i have been looking for...... How money works
One thing to note is Adani is an infra group and not a software firm. The own steel plants, power plants, ports and construction related business. They have large factories, land, offices, machineries, planes, ships and cars so they have real tangible asset in huge own. They own monopoly over certain sectors in India and many countries. An infra firm with such real estate and monopoly will always have certain lowest point till it can fall. There stocks wont tank to near zero like in case of software firms. This thing is pretty much true for almost any large infra firm.
Maybe I can get in for cheap after the dust has settled. But right now, I don't want to touch this!
Adani has certainly manipulated stocks to use as much debt to aggresively buyout companies but they are far from fraud and not certainly like Nikola. Adani owns Mundra port which literally handles 30 percent of Indias cargo.. Adani owns thermal power plants coal mine in Queensland, runs six indian airports , infrastructure projects and many more... It will be interesting battle to see who wins.

Watch the video, bud. He explains in it, that the business in itself is there, but the family uses shady offshore holdings companies to manipulate the price, while owning up to 85% of the companies themselves, and that most of the companies are headed by family members without proper qualifications to run the companies efficiently. I mean look at the Adani stock price, the spike it had is astronomical. It gained like 2500% in 2,5 years. The whole thing just smells, you don't have to be a financial professional to see it.

I can only laugh after 1 year. Overleveraged? Yes. Fraud? HAHAHA
As an Indian, unless the government changes next election (which it probably won't because Modi has no serious competition), no one's prosecuting Adani, between him and an American hedge fund, I really don't know who I'd want to see lose more badly, can't they both lose?

Most likely both will win, Adani despite being overvalued still owns ports and govt contracts. Worst case scenario it’ll continue financing itself through selling shares as opposed to debt and become less ambitious with future projects. Hindenburg will most likely make a nifty profit on the dipping share price (if it hasn’t already made a killing) and will continue going about its business. Despite the cynicism the people might win too, Adani group might be forced to run things more transparently or atleast will hedge themselves better with good business practices (not taking on a lot of debt for future endeavours) and we’ll have a more competent state sponsored business.
I read the tweet before the news and I didn't get it a the beginning, this video plus the comments below (or above) helped me understand it better. Real good job explaining something so foreign to me.
Can you provide a link for the thumbnail picture please?
Didn’t Hindenburg take a short position or equivalent in US traded debt instead of the stock for that exact reason?
Man, the Korean Chaebols be sweatin out here (point 4).
So what happens if point 3 turns out to not be true and the executives aren't 9currently) committing any (more) fraud (which makes point 5 not valid). And let's say the profits are real. Well... then what? Even if they only own the legal 75%, it's that a lot of shares available for margin call? It seems that even if the alleged fraud isn't real, the Adani companies are going to lose a lot of value anyways. This seems like a slam dunk to me. The Adanis' best-case scenario is that there was no fraud and their publicly declared holdings are in fact true, and even that scenario doesn't look too good.
Please remember that EM owned a larger part of Tesla before buying Twitter🤣
What is the name of the music used in the sponsorship? it's beautiful.

@Shahriar Alam No, it is argubaly a race/demographic thing. Note the "people who even look like fraud," part PLEASE! What you are saying and what the OP said are two different things. Perhaps your perspective is shaped from being unaware of the stereotypes Westerners have about Indian people. They now think that we're all scammers because a tiny wincy, not even 0.1% of the population called them scamming. The scam exposers also create these narratives to Westerners that they're the only ones basically being affected as if these scammers don't mainly scam Indians. Ergo, negative stereotypes for us. I don't even care if OP may be brown, it still enables racist ideas about us. Wouldn't doubt that some people liking his comment perceived it in that fashion!
