What Could This Mean?

The steady rise for three sessions could suggest renewed confidence in Bank of Maharashtra’s prospects. Investors might be optimistic about the bank’s future performance or positive sector trends in the PSU banking space. However, the stock remains below its levels from a year ago, so it’s important to watch if this momentum can be sustained.
