Private Bank Stocks Rally Prompts Investment Opportunities, Says Goldman Sachs Analysis

As the stock market witnessed a notable resurgence in private bank stocks this week, a recent analysis by Goldman Sachs has encouraged investors to consider “accumulating” shares in private banks, signaling a bullish sentiment in the sector.

A global brokerage firm emphasized the significance of fundamental indicators over prevailing narratives in a recent note. They expressed a clear preference for private banks over Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

The Bank Nifty index notably rebounded from its 200-day moving average, marking a significant milestone as it closed above its upward trendline on Wednesday.

Private Banking Sector Soars, Major Banks Gain Up To 8 percent

In response to recent market dynamics, there has been a notable resurgence, particularly reflected in substantial gains among major private banks.

This surge, observed over the past two trading days, has prominently impacted shares of key institutions such as:

  • HDFC Bank
  • ICICI Bank
  • Axis Bank
  • IndusInd Bank
  • Federal Bank

These banks witnessed remarkable increases, with gains reaching up to 8 percent, underscoring the momentum within the private banking sector.

Reflecting the optimism in the banking sector, the Nifty Bank surged by 2,126 points or 4.53 percent to reach a closing figure of 49,054 on Wednesday.

Subsequently, on Thursday, the index maintained its upward trajectory, hovering around the 49,080 mark.

The Bank Nifty’s resurgence extended beyond its 200-day moving average, as it also closed above its rising trendline and the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA).

Analysts view this as a strong signal for a ‘buy-on-dip’ strategy, recommending a stop-loss at 47,500.

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, highlighted the immediate support level at 47,800, while identifying resistance at 49,500.

Despite early morning volatility, both the Sensex and Nifty remained in positive territory on Thursday.

This positivity was reflected across various indices, with the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices registering gains.

Moreover, sectors such as Information Technology (IT), capital goods, metal, oil & gas, power, and realty also witnessed significant upward movements.

With private bank stocks leading the charge in the market’s resurgence, investors are carefully eyeing opportunities in the sector, encouraged by the favorable analysis provided by Goldman Sachs and the strong technical indicators supporting a bullish outlook for private banks.
