Sarkar ne Central Bank of India mein becha stake!
Indian Sarkar ne Central Bank of India mein apna 8% tak ka stake bechna shuru kar diya hai. Is OFS (Offer for Sale) se sarkar ko lagbhag ₹2,455 Crore milne ki ummeed hai. Institutional investors ke liye ye sale Friday, June 6th se shuru ho gayi hai, aur retail investors ise Monday, June 9th ko khareed payenge. Ye sarkar ki public sector banks (PSBs) mein apni hissedari kam karne ki strategy ka ek important hissa hai, taaki fiscal targets bhi poore ho sakein. Currently, sarkar ke paas bank ka lagbhag 89.27% stake hai.
Central Bank of India ka Financials
Central Bank of India ka market valuation May 2026 tak ₹30,702 Crore ke aas paas hai. Iska Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio 6.88x tha, jo industry median se kam hai. Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio 0.87 hai. FY26 mein, bank ne ₹4,369 Crore ka net profit report kiya, jo pichhle saal se 15.43% zyada hai, aur net interest margin (NIM) 3.07% raha.
Stake sale ka reason
Sarkar ka plan hai ki PSUs ko zyada efficient aur independent banaya jaaye. Iske liye government apni oversight kam kar rahi hai aur market access improve kar rahi hai. Experts ka kehna hai ki abhi Indian banks ki financial health kaafi acchi hai, bad loans kam hain aur capital strong hai, toh stake sale ka ye sahi samay hai. Sarkar PSBs mein apni holdings ko 75% se neeche laana chahti hai taaki market-driven growth ko encourage kiya ja sake.
Investors ka kya kehna hai?
Halaanki abhi koi specific analyst ratings nahi hain, par public sector banks ke liye sentiment accha hua hai. OFS mein kitna subscription hota hai, woh Central Bank of India mein investor confidence dikhayega. Kuch analysts ne mid-2026 tak stock ke liye ₹51.41 se ₹67 ka target price diya hai, aur generally 'Buy' consensus hai. Lekin, kuch technical indicators short-term mein price girne ka ishaara kar rahe hain.
Dhyan rakhne wali baatein (Risks)
Investors ko kuch risks par dhyan dena chahiye. Bank par lagbhag ₹1,51,986 Crore ki contingent liabilities hain. Analysis mein low interest coverage ratio aur pichhle paanch saalon mein kam sales growth dikhai de rahi hai. Operational risks mein internal processes, IT systems aur supply chain finance se judi samasyayein ho sakti hain. Stock mein haal hi mein girawat bhi dikhi hai, aur aage bhi iske girne ki sambhavna ho sakti hai.
