Bank Stocks Outlook for the week - 23 to 27.03.2015

Bank stocks are expected to be volatile next week ahead of contract expiry on Thursday, while the overall bias will be negative.

We expect next week bank stocks could witness some consolidation as present "valuations were not cheap", even though most concurred that banks were expected to perform well going ahead.

The banking sector is expected to do much better in 2015-16 (Apr-Mar) compared to 2014-15 as the expected improvement in economy coupled with declining interest rates may spur credit pick-up and also stabilise the asset quality situation of banks.


In the post-election rally, all the stocks across the banking space witnessed a sharp appreciation in prices on expectations of an economic revival and in turn an improvement in the performance of the banks. We believe that an improving economy after a prolonged period of slowdown has led to buoyancy in the valuations for banks.
