Jefferies names Max Financial as its top insurance pick, sees 41% upside despite target cut

Axis Bank reported movement of 41%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is -0.8% on the day at ₹1,238.30, and has returned -7.0% over three months. It sits 12% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -4.0% over the same period, so Axis Bank is running 3.0 points behind its peers.

For Axis Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
