COLUMN-Adani Group threatens, but Hindenburg Research rarely sued in U.S
In the midst of a market rout last week that stripped Indian conglomerate Adani Group of $65 billion in market capitalization, Adani announced that it was contemplating “remedial and punitive action” against Hindenburg Research, the short seller whose scathing Jan. 24 report sparked the sell-off. If Adani is talking about a lawsuit in the U.S., I’ll believe it when I see it. Based on my search of federal district court and New York State Supreme Court records – and despite some tough talk from Hindenburg targets such as Nikola Inc — it appears that only two of the 20 or so companies that Hindenburg has attacked in research reports issued since 2017 have actually sued the short seller for defamation.
