etmarkets investors guide: ETMarkets Investors’ Guide: Are PSU bank stocks in a sweet spot?

Hello, you have tuned into ETMarkets Investors’ Guide, a show about asset classes, investment ideas and market trends. I am Nikhil Agarwal.

As the quarterly numbers of PSU banks pour in, the outlook in the pack seems to be improving. Nifty PSU Bank index has jumped over 8 per cent in the last one week. Canara Bank alone jumped 17%.

In today’s special podcast with independent market expert Rajiv Nagpal, we try to understand if it’s a good time for you to buy PSU bank stocks.

Listen in.

Welcome to the show Mr Nagpal.

1) How impressed are you with the quarterly earnings number of PSU banks?

2) And what about valuations? How attractive is the valuation of PSU banks vis-a-vis private banks? Do you think the risk-reward ratio is more favourable in sarkari banks?

3) What is the outlook on the quality of their balance sheets and the credit growth that we saw in the last quarter?

4) Don’t you think that PSU banks are getting left behind in the digital race at a time when fintechs are trying to disrupt the way we do our banking transactions? Isn’t that a big threat for PSU banks in the long run?

Thank you Mr Nagpal. That’s all in today’s special podcast. But do keep checking this space for more such interesting content. Good bye!
