The futures contracts of the three main US stock market benchmarks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite, are trading 0.2-0.4 per cent higher at this hour, suggesting yet another day of gains on Wall Street.

Share Market Today LIVE | Recent correction may have prepared three PSU bank stocks for a rebound 

PSU banking stocks have undergone significant corrections over the past few weeks, and many analysts believe that a recent spike in select names from the space may be an early sign of a stronger move up ahead.

The quarter saw healthy recoveries which led to improvement in Asset quality with GNPA/NNPA ratios improving towards decadal low levels. Lower provisions were also seen aiding the earnings growth. However, the NIMs came under pressure owing to the rising cost of funds, and the same is expected to continue," says Jyoti Roy, Head of Equity Research at Sanctum Wealth.

"This was the key negative in the Q2 results for the PSU banks," Roy adds.
