IDBI Bank made an announcement.
· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
The Union government announced in the 2021-22 budget that, besides IDBI Bank, it would take up two public sector banks and one general insurance company for privatisation.
The analysis
IDBI Bank reported movement of 75%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.4% on the day at ₹80.32, and has returned -4.4% over three months. It sits 31% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -6.0% over the same period, so IDBI Bank is running 1.6 points ahead of its peers.
For IDBI Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
