PSU banks outperform with steady gains and improved credit outlook
Public sector banks ended the week higher, gaining 2% as strong earnings and guidance fueled investor optimism. State Bank of India led the rally after posting robust loan growth and higher profitability outlook. Other lenders like Bank of Baroda and Canara Bank followed with notable gains amid expectations of improved asset quality. Analysts attribute the strength to declining NPAs, stable margins, and expanding credit demand. The banking index now outperforms broader benchmarks, showing strong institutional buying interest.
