Key Takeaways
Karur Vysya Bank demonstrated notable resilience and strength this week, outperforming the Sensex by 1.87% despite a volatile market environment. The stock’s new 52-week and all-time highs on 24 and 25 February reflected strong investor confidence backed by robust fundamentals, including a Tier 1 Capital Adequacy Ratio of 15.34% and consistent earnings growth with 18 consecutive profitable quarters.
