Synopsis
Yes, on Tuesday, it was banking stocks that led the market decline. But if you look at their overall performance over a period of time, they have been outperformers. As they are heavily owned by FIIs, they come under pressure when selling increases. That, however, does change the reality that their balance sheets are far better placed than they were just three years ago. And in the case of some banks, the painful process of valuation readjustment is also over. Time to take a closer look at these stocks.
