Why Shares of Azure Power Global Limited Jumped Today
Up until today, the dog days of summer had taken a pretty sizable bite out of shares of Azure Power (NYSE: AZRE), an independent renewable power utility located in India, with the stock plummeting more than 25% from the start of August through yesterday. Powering the surge in the stock's rise today, Azure Power reported first-quarter 2022 results yesterday after the market closed.
