The main question: the biggest companies are not always the ones changing the most.

Start with size. Then the direction of earnings. Then the quality of the business. A share price that leads means more once those three agree.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the gap between them tells the story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 13 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member set to 100 at the start and the sector taking the middle value, so a price line pulling away from flat bars means the market is paying more for the same earnings. A bar turns grey when that figure is lower than the quarter before. The rules are fixed and the same everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover or tap any point to read both values and the gap.

How does each PSU Bank stock score?

A score that ranks each company against the others in its industry. The four parts shown always add up to the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or old evidence affects only its own part, never as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35% Capital efficiency · 25% Valuation · 20% Relative strength · 20%

Bank of Maharashtra has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 100% evidence confidence.

Canara Bank scores well on valuation against its peers or its own history, but its earnings have not yet improved enough to back that up.

How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

How have PSU Bank share prices moved?

Bank of Maharashtra has the strongest one-year price move in Banks - PSU at +37.8%. It also leads on relative strength against the NIFTY, at +15.8%. 4 of 13 companies we track are ahead of the index on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 30 October 2026.

Price and relative strength

Price · same starting point: Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts: the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

RS vs NIFTY 500: How far ahead of or behind NIFTY 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS NIFTY 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.

RS vs sector: The same measure taken against Banks - PSU itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

A break or a faint dotted stretch in a line is a week with no recorded close: Punjab National Bank, 3 Apr 2026 to 10 Apr 2026.

The companies with the strongest one-year price moves are drawn. The NIFTY 500 line is dashed.

Why are PSU Bank stocks moving?

That is close to the ideal shape: the shares went up because the banks earned more, not because anyone paid more per rupee of book. The longer view matters here, this same group of thirteen banks LOST ₹57,293 crore in 2018 and ₹46,250 crore in 2019, so what looks like a boom is really the back half of a decade-long recovery from a bad-loan crisis. In the week of 17 August 2026, 38.5% of 13 Banks - PSU companies were beating the Nifty 500, against 75% on 6 April 2026.

From the results calls for July to September 2026.

Is money moving into PSU Bank stocks?

Big funds, foreign and Indian, raised their stake by 0.5 points over the last two quarters. Founders and promoters cut theirs by 0.6 points.

  • Spending on plants is not a useful measure for a lender, so it is left out.

Big funds = foreign and Indian institutions, change in their share of ownership across 13 Banks - PSU companies, in percentage points.

Ownership and spending as of 10 October 2026.

What is changing in PSU Bank stocks?

This is the written read behind the Banks - PSU figures above: what is actually happening in the industry, in words, with the evidence each claim rests on. It is dated 22 Aug 2026. It also states what would change this read.

How old this read is: This read comes from our fortnightly sector read dated 22 Aug 2026, 77 days old. The numbers above it are newer than the words here.

What would change this read

The deposit-cost tailwind stops before the loan book catches up: the October-November quarter calls show cost of deposits flat or rising rather than falling, Punjab National Bank's promised every-quarter margin improvement fails on its first test, and the sector's quarterly net margin drops back…

Which PSU Bank companies earn the most income, and which grow fastest?

State Bank of India has the highest Income among the 13 Banks - PSU companies compared here, at ₹5,25,746 crore. Bank of Baroda is next at ₹1,40,250 crore. Bank of Maharashtra has the highest Income growth at 16.5%, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: State Bank of India is the largest at ₹5,25,746 crore, 274.9% ahead of Bank of Baroda. Bank of Maharashtra's growth is 16.5% from a ₹31,740 crore base, with 20 reported quarters out of the last 20. Fast growth from a smaller base is not yet the same as proven size.

State Bank of India · ₹5,25,746 croreLeader
274.9% versus #2 · Bank of BarodaGap
8/8 recent comparable periodsPersistence
13/13 companies · 255 observationsCoverage

What this means: State Bank of India is the size to compare against; Bank of Maharashtra is the one growing fastest. The faster grower has to keep that growth and turn it into margin and returns before it counts as more than a fast start.

This conclusion weakens if: State Bank of India's growth falls below Bank of Maharashtra's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Revenue shows both size and speed. A large company can absorb shocks and pay for wide distribution; faster growth can mean market-share gains, new capacity or stronger demand. The best sign is usually growth that lasts without hurting margins and returns.

What to watch

Watch the next two reported quarters for growth persistence, margin conversion and whether the leader is gaining share without stretching working capital.

Which PSU Bank companies earn the most profit?

State Bank of India has the highest Net profit among the 13 Banks - PSU companies compared here, at ₹89,666 crore. Punjab National Bank is next at ₹22,932 crore. Indian Overseas Bank has the highest Profit growth at 51.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: State Bank of India earns the most, ₹89,666 crore of profit over the last 12 months, 291% above Punjab National Bank. Indian Overseas Bank shows 51.3% growth from a profit base of ₹6,662 crore. A fast rate from a small base matters less than a large profit that keeps coming.

What this means: State Bank of India sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is ranked only where the comparison base is economically meaningful. Loss-to-profit flips are shown but do not win the growth table.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current profit growth rather than reversing it.

Which PSU Bank companies have the most deposits?

Punjab National Bank has the highest Deposits among the 13 Banks - PSU companies compared here, at ₹17,92,780 crore. Bank of Baroda is next at ₹17,75,096 crore. State Bank of India has the highest Borrowings at ₹7,77,302 crore, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Punjab National Bank leads deposits at ₹17,92,780 crore; State Bank of India leads borrowings at ₹7,77,302 crore.

What this means: Punjab National Bank sets the level to compare against; the company improving fastest needs another report to confirm the change.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current borrowings signal.

For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

What to watch

Watch deposit growth, funding cost, liquidity coverage, credit growth and gross NPA together.

Which PSU Bank companies earn the most on their assets?

IDBI Bank Ltd has the highest ROA among the 13 Banks - PSU companies compared here, at 1.9%. Indian Overseas Bank has the highest ROA change at +0.3 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

ROA is the cleanest first comparison for lenders because the balance sheet is the operating asset.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current gnpa change rather than reversing it.

How are PSU Bank stocks valued against growth and quality?

Bank of India has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 13 Banks - PSU companies compared here, at 0.05×. Central Bank of India has the lowest P/BV at 0.62×, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 13 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Sep 2026.

What the numbers say: Bank of India has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.05×, 0% below Canara Bank. That would need today's multiple, the company's own history and steady growth to agree.

Bank of India · 0.05×Leader
0% versus #2 · Canara BankGap
0/8 recent comparable periodsPersistence
13/13 companies · 238 observationsCoverage

What this means: A low valuation is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. A lower figure is better only if loan quality and returns stay strong; a low price against book value while bad loans are rising is not a good sign by itself.

What to watch

Watch whether the next two comparable periods confirm the current p/bv rather than reversing it.

Which stock lists do PSU Bank companies appear on?

Banks - PSU companies show up on 9 of our India lists. The most are on the bank stocks list (13 companies).

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Banks - PSU comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 13 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 has second-source figures left out because the two sources disagree. A high growth rate can still come from a very small starting figure.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can come from a very small starting figure. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROE can come from heavy borrowing. It is best read beside ROA and loan quality.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks published data only. Management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of it.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
  • 1 company is missing from the second-source figures on purpose: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Those rows have less evidence; that does not make the business weaker.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 13 Banks - PSU companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Sep 2026 and market data through 30 October 2026.

FundamentalsThrough Sep 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
Market dataThrough 30 October 2026 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and old evidence lowers confidence and pulls the 0 to 100 score toward the middle.
Source standing12 cross-checked · 0 unverified · 1 withheld, of 13 graded companies.

1 of 13 companies has a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: State Bank of India (SBIN): its two data sources disagree by up to 40% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.

How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees

A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree, the figures are simply used. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn, they are the only evidence there is, and marked unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.

What else do people ask about PSU Bank stocks?

These 26 answers restate the Banks - PSU comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 13 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Sep 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 30 October 2026. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the PSU Bank sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Banks - PSU has done worse than the NIFTY 500 by 2.8% over 52 weeks, but is 3.7% ahead over the last 13 weeks.

4 of 13 companies we track are beating the NIFTY on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months), and 4 of the 8 with a long enough price history are ahead of the industry itself.

Which PSU Bank company is largest by income?

State Bank of India leads with income of ₹5,25,746 crore, based on 13 of 13 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which PSU Bank company is growing fastest?

Bank of Maharashtra has the fastest current income growth at 16.5%, across 13 of 13 comparable companies.

Which PSU Bank company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Bank of Maharashtra ranks first at 76.6 out of 100, with 100% of the evidence available. The score ranks published data; it is not a recommendation.

Which PSU Bank company has the largest deposit base?

Punjab National Bank has the largest reported deposit base at ₹17,92,780 crore. For a bank, borrowing is how it funds its loans, not a sign of risky debt.

Which PSU Bank company has the lowest comparable P/BV-to-ROE?

Bank of India has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.05, among 13 of 13 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this PSU Bank comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Sep 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four parts add up directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or old evidence moves only that part toward the middle.

Is there a Nifty PSU Bank index?

NSE runs Nifty indices for several broad sectors, such as Nifty Bank, Nifty IT and Nifty Pharma, but not for every smaller group on this site.

Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Banks - PSU, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 13 listed Banks - PSU companies: one company, one vote, whatever its size, so no single large company dominates. Figures are as of Sep 2026.

Which are the best PSU Bank stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Bank of Maharashtra comes first among 13 listed Banks - PSU companies, followed by Indian Overseas Bank. That is a ranking of published data (earnings, quality, valuation and share-price behaviour as of Sep 2026), not a recommendation.

How many PSU Bank stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 13 listed Banks - PSU companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Sep 2026.

Which PSU Bank company is the biggest?

State Bank of India is the largest, with income of ₹5,25,746 crore over the last 12 months, ahead of Bank of Baroda at ₹1,40,250 crore. That covers 13 of 13 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which PSU Bank company makes the most profit?

State Bank of India earns the most, at ₹89,666 crore of net profit over the last 12 months, from 13 of 13 comparable companies. Indian Overseas Bank has the fastest profit growth at 51.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which PSU Bank lender has the best asset quality?

Bank of Maharashtra reports the lowest gross NPA (bad loans) at 1.3%, where lower is better, across 6 of 13 lenders. The direction matters as well as the level: bad loans rising from a low base can matter more than a high figure that is falling.

Which PSU Bank company earns the highest return on capital?

IDBI Bank Ltd leads on return on assets at 1.9%, across 13 of 13 companies. A high return that repeats for years shows a lasting business, while a single high reading can come from a small capital base or one good year.

Which PSU Bank stock has the lowest price-to-book against its return on equity?

On price-to-book divided by return on equity (where a lower number means a lower price for what the company earns), Bank of India has the lowest at 0.05×. All 13 companies qualify for the ratio comparison.

A low multiple is a reason to look closer at the business, not a conclusion on its own.

Which PSU Bank lender has the largest funding base?

Punjab National Bank has the largest reported deposit base at ₹17,92,780 crore. For lenders, deposits and borrowings are operating inputs rather than leverage, so they are read against asset quality and returns instead of as debt.

Is the PSU Bank sector beating the market?

Banks - PSU has done worse than the NIFTY 500 by 2.8% over the last 52 weeks, but is 3.7% ahead over the last 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members.

Inside the sector, 4 of the 13 companies we track are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which PSU Bank stock has the strongest price momentum?

Bank of Maharashtra has the strongest relative strength against the NIFTY 500, meaning its share price has done best against the index. A price can move well before the business results back it up, and sometimes without them.

Which PSU Bank company has the highest 4-Factor score?

Bank of Maharashtra scores 76.6 out of 100, with 100% of the evidence available, from 25.9 points on growth and earnings, 24.1 on capital efficiency, 10.4 on valuation and 16.2 on relative strength. It ranks published data only; management quality, upcoming events and risks are not part of the score.

How many PSU Bank companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

This comparison covers 13 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Sep 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list, nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the PSU Bank sector?

The 13 Banks - PSU companies on this page carry ₹18,65,969 crore of combined market value. State Bank of India is the largest at ₹8,87,861 crore, about 48% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 30 October 2026.

What is the PSU Bank sector's P/B ratio?

The median price-to-book ratio across the 13 Banks - PSU companies on this page is 1×, measured on the 13 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past.

Figures are as of 30 October 2026.

How is the PSU Bank sector performing?

4 of the 13 Banks - PSU companies we track are doing better than the NIFTY 500 on relative strength (how a share price has done against the index over recent months).

The sector itself is 2.8% behind NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 30 October 2026.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing figures are never estimated, copied forward or swapped for a similar-looking line, and a company with missing evidence has its score pulled toward the middle rather than scored as bad.

Is this advice?

No, every figure here is worked out by code from company filings and market data, for research. It does not account for your situation and is not a substitute for advice from a registered adviser.
