PSU bank: ETMarkets Investors’ Guide: Is there more to PSU bank stocks than just privatisation?

Amid all the news flow over the government’s disinvestment plans, PSU banks have piqued the interest of both value hunters and those looking for turnaround stories. Several market veterans who have stayed away from PSU stocks for years are now finding them worth a look.

In today’s special podcast with independent market expert Rajiv Nagpal, we dig deeper to find out whether the risk-reward ratio has become favourable in PSU bank stocks.

Listen in.

Welcome to the show Mr Nagpal.

1) Let us first talk about the business of PSU banks. How are the balance sheets and asset quality of most PSU banks looking like as the economy opens up?

2) So do you think disinvestment is the only trigger if somebody wants to buy the stock of a sarkari bank?

3) Is SBI the best among the lot for somebody who wants to play it safe?

4) The government wants to privatise 2 state-run banks for now, and there is no official confirmation on the names. Is it worth hazarding a guess? Would you be comfortable dialing a wrong number?

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