SBI, PNB to Bank of Maharashtra: Why are PSU bank stocks rising today?
State Bank of India pursued an acquisition.
· LiveMint Markets
A fake document claiming a merger of public sector banks, purportedly issued by the Ministry of Finance, has been circulating online. The government confirmed it is not authentic, urging caution in verifying such claims, as PSU bank stocks react positively to the rumors.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -1.6% on the day at ₹939.00, and has returned -7.4% over three months. It sits 24% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -1.7% over the same period, so State Bank of India is running 5.7 points behind its peers.
For State Bank of India, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
Market context
- The company directly in focus is SBIN.
- Sector exposure: Banks.
