The strong rally in PSUs across sectors without any meaningful change in the fundamentals or structural reforms in most sectors and the massive outperformance of PSUs versus private sector peers in the same sectors highlights the inherent flaw with the rally in PSU stocks. The rally is largely driven by top-down euphoria among non-institutional investors, rather than any bottom-up structural fundamental developments. Government ownership seems to be the only common factor for the performance of PSU stocks, with disparate sector- and company-specific fundamentals,” said a note by Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE).
