While every sector has witnessed a re-rating in the last couple of years. The re-rating can be due to two reasons. whether headwinds have gone away because of government policy push and clean up or the sector has recovered due cyclical reasons. In the case of PSU banks,which have seen strong re-rating in the last one year, there is a mix of both reasons. The government cleaned up and strengthened the regulatory system. Also that overall economic growth has seen a sharp recovery which has helped in credit off take. Now comes the question that after this rally, should one sell, should one hold, should one increase the exposure. The answer lies in hedging for the banks you own and just avoid listening to noise which will remain high till election results are announced.
