Waaree Energies, a well-known player in the renewable energy space, witnessed a sharp drop in its share price today, triggering concerns among investors. The stock fell over 10% during early trade, following a major policy change in the United States that has rattled the global clean energy sector.
This development has created confusion and anxiety among shareholders, especially as the impact of this news could have long-term implications for the company’s growth trajectory. Here’s a closer look at what caused the decline, recent stock performance, and what investors should consider going forward.
US Policy Change Hits Waaree Energies Shares
The sudden fall in Waaree Energies’ share price can be directly linked to a recent legislative move by the United States government. A bill passed in the US Congress proposes to gradually phase out the Clean Energy Investment and Production Tax Credits—key financial incentives that have long supported renewable energy developers.
This move sent shockwaves through the clean energy sector globally, leading to heavy sell-offs in related stocks. The impact on the company was immediate because nearly 57% of Waaree Energies’ order book is tied to projects based on US. As the tax support dries up, US developers and manufacturers fear factory closures, rising electricity prices, and massive job cuts.
Naturally, this uncertainty has spilled over to Indian companies involved in these projects, with Waaree being among the most exposed. Investors were quick to react, resulting in a sharp drop in the company’s stock on both the NSE and the BSE.
Waaree Energies Stock Performance
As per BSE data of May 23, Waaree Energies’ stock had slipped by 7.21% to trade at ₹2,780.55—a drop of ₹216.15. On the NSE, the decline was 7.15%, with shares priced at ₹2,782.50. By 10:26 AM, trading volumes had crossed 2.44 lakh shares, indicating heavy investor activity.
In terms of recent trends:
- The stock has fallen over 4% in the past week.
- It had gained more than 7% in the two weeks prior, showing short-term volatility.
- Over the past month, the stock has been down around 7%.
- However, in the last three months, it has risen by more than 23%.
- Over the last six months, the return stands at a modest 3%.
While the stock has shown strong mid-term performance, the latest US policy move has disturbed the short-term outlook.
What Should Investors Do
The road ahead depends heavily on how the new US tax policy is rolled out and its actual effect on project financing. If clean energy subsidies are completely removed, it could dent the company’s order pipeline, revenue, and profit margins.
However, all is not lost. If Waaree Energies can diversify its operations and secure new orders from India or other international markets, this correction could be temporary. Expanding geographically or tapping into domestic demand may offset the potential loss from US projects.
Right now, there’s a cloud of uncertainty. Investors should keep a close eye on further announcements from the US and any company updates on how it plans to tackle this challenge. Those with a long-term view may want to wait and watch before making any major decisions.
