PNB Shares Hit New 52-Week Peak Amid Market Optimism

In a recent surge of activity, Punjab National Bank (PNB) shares have seen a significant spike in investor interest. During Monday’s morning trading session, PNB’s stock opened at an impressive ₹83.15 per share on the NSE, quickly climbing to an intraday high of ₹83.95. This peak marks a new 52-week high for the bank’s shares, following a brief dip to ₹82.30 after profit-booking at the previous high.

Election Results Propel PSU Stocks

Market experts attribute the rising interest in PNB shares to the broader trend of buying in PSU stocks following the state assembly election results. The victories of the BJP in these elections are perceived as a precursor to their performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This political shift is expected to disadvantage the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, potentially benefiting the BJP in the forthcoming national polls. Consequently, the focus on economic reforms and profitability in public sector undertakings (PSUs) and state-owned banks is anticipated to intensify under the current government.

Technical Indicators and Future Outlook

The bullish trend in PNB’s share price is further evidenced by its breakout from a falling daily trendline, supported by significant trading volume and the formation of a Bullish candle. This momentum is underpinned by the stock’s position above key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), including the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs. Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 63.12 and trending upwards, along with a positive crossover in the Stochastic RSI from the oversold region, reinforce the bullish sentiment. Experts from Choice Broking suggest that PNB shares could potentially reach a target price of ₹87 in the near term, advising investors to buy on dips near ₹78 and hold the stock with a stop loss at ₹77.50 for short-term gains.
