The standout performer was AU Small Finance Bank, which skyrocketed nearly 28% in a single session — its biggest one-day gain ever — after analysts upgraded earnings on strong asset quality and robust loan growth.
Public sector giants SBI, Canara Bank, and Bank of India also joined the party, helped by attractive valuations (most PSU banks still trade below 1.2x price-to-book) and improving NPA cycles.
Banking-focused ETFs like Nippon India Bank BeES, Kotak Bank ETF, and SBI Bank ETF all printed fresh 52-week highs, reflecting strong institutional inflows into the sector.
Market experts say the trigger was a sharp drop in the 10-year G-Sec yield below 6.80%, sparking a classic “lower-for-longer” trade. With inflation cooling and the RBI widely expected to cut rates in early 2026, financials are back in favour.
