Punjab National Bank Shares Rise 11% in Two Days, Hits 52-Week High on Strong Earnings
Punjab National Bank's share price rose 11% over two days, reaching a 52-week high of 139 after reporting strong Q2FY27 earnings. The bank posted its highest-ever return on assets at 1.09% and a 13% year-on-year profit after tax growth, driven by net interest margin expansion, fee income growth, and low credit costs. Loan growth remained healthy at 16% year-on-year, with a shift towards retail, agriculture, and MSME sectors. Management expects further margin improvements and continues to build prudential buffers.
