Punjab & Sind Bank has successfully completed its Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) at an issue price of ₹38.37 per share. This strategic move aims to bolster the bank's capital base while also paving the way for future growth and stability. The bank had initially set the floor price at ₹40.38 per share but offered a discount as per SEBI guidelines. The QIP raised ₹2,000 crore, significantly boosting the bank’s capital adequacy ratio, which is expected to rise by the end of March 2025.
The successful QIP announcement triggered an impressive rally in Punjab Sind Bank share price, surging by 13% intraday to ₹50.5 per share, the highest gain since January 14, 2025. However, the stock settled at ₹48.18 per share, reflecting a 7.8% increase compared to the 0.31% rise in Nifty 50. Despite the positive sentiment, the stock remains 1.29% lower this year, although it has witnessed a 25% surge since its March low of ₹36.9. The bank's market capitalisation currently stands at ₹32,269.04 crore.

The impressive surge in Punjab Sind Bank share price is attributed to the bank’s strategic capital raising measures, along with a robust financial performance in the third quarter of FY2024. During this period, the bank's net profit more than doubled to ₹282 crore, compared to ₹114 crore in the same quarter the previous year. Total income rose to ₹3,269 crore from ₹2,853 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, driven by a reduction in non-performing assets (NPAs) and increased lending activity.
The government’s stake in the bank, which stood at 98.25% at the end of December 2024, is expected to decline by 3-4% post-QIP. This capital raising is part of the bank’s larger plan to mop up ₹10,000 crore, including ₹5,000 crore through infrastructure bonds and ₹3,000 crore via Tier-1 and Tier-2 bonds.
