Bank of Baroda's stock faced a decline of 6% on January 6, amid broader market pressures affecting many PSU bank stocks.
Despite this, the bank reported a year-on-year increase in domestic deposits by 9.2% and global deposits by 11.8%.
Mutual funds have begun to show renewed interest, purchasing Bank of Baroda stock for the first time in 15 months, with significant contributions from funds like HDFC Small Cap Fund Growth.
Analysts suggest that the bank is viewed as a 'value buy', particularly in light of its current valuation at around 1x compared to larger competitors.
Investors are advised to consider key factors like valuations, deposit growth, and asset quality before making any investment decisions.
