Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Head of Research at SMC Global Securities told CNBC-TV18, “I feel that for the banking it is a long way to go. In the midcap private sector banks I feel still in terms of valuation there is some catching up to do and influential names kept on adding South Indian Bank to their portfolios. I feel the stock should perform.”
“On top of that at some stage there maybe chances of consolidation game in private sector banking space. So, there is always a chance that some M&A opportunities may crop up at some stage. I am not talking about two to three weeks or months, I am talking about two to three years,” he added.
“So, buy South Indian Bank on dips; I feel that the stock may double in the next two to three years“, Jagannadham Thunuguntla said.
