Public sector banks (PSBs) have delivered significant outperformance over the past three years and the sector has been re-rated. Given the growth and profitability expectations of an 18 per cent return on equity (RoE) over FY24-26, there is still a case for buying at the current levels.

The hospitality industry has seen plenty of interest since the catastrophic impact of the pandemic, which led to losses in FY21.
