Study Finds Public Sector Bank Stocks More Affected by Fraud Announcements
A study by Nagaland University and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Adarsha Mahavidyalaya found that banking fraud announcements cause sharper stock market losses for public sector banks compared to private ones. The research analyzed four major fraud cases involving IDBI Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India, and Canara Bank using Bombay Stock Exchange data. It noted that larger, older banks showed greater resilience, and fraud impacts sometimes extended to other banks beyond those directly involved, highlighting the role of ownership, credibility, and bank size in investor reactions.
