A R Ramachandran, Co-founder & Trainer-Tips2trades, stated on the stock’s technical outlook “Even though PNB has been profitable for the past three years, it lacks consistency in terms of a cleaner and more consistent income statement and balance sheet when compared to other quality PSU banks such as SBI. PNB was oversold on the Daily charts, and a close above 47.2 could lead to a target of 52 in the near term. The support level will be 44.5.”
