Adani ports: Today, on 21 April, Monday, the stock market saw a decline of up to 4 percent in the stocks of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone during early trade, which is the fastest decline since April 7.

This will increase the company’s presence in the global market. Whereas brokerage firm Nuwama Wealth Management says that purchasing Abbott Point Port can cause a decline in the company’s earnings per share.
