Punjab National Bank (PNB) reported a strong financial success in Q4 of the fiscal year 2024–2025. The bank's net profit went up 52% year over year to ₹4,567 crore from ₹3,010 crore in the same period last year.

The bank's total income for Q4 FY25 was ₹36,705 crore, driven by an 11% increase in non-interest income to ₹4,716 crore and a 4% increase in net interest income (NII) to ₹10,757 crore.

Even though the financial results have been good, PNB's stock performance has been under control. This year, the share price has dropped by 8.44%, from a 52-week high of ₹138.50 on June 3, 2024, to a low of ₹85.50 on March 4, 2025.

Even if PNB's financial numbers are improving, analysts urge investors to consider the bank's strategic goals as well as the market's current position when assessing the stock's prospects.
