Are fears and panic around PSUs overblown? Sandip Sabharwal answers
Ideally, they should not be able to because like you rightly said, it is more commoditised.

Taking care of the borrowing needs of Bharat is a big opportunity? 4 small finance banks with upside potential of up to 27%
While today’s movies may not show that rural money lenders are nothing but shark, but the hard reality is that if you were to ask your driver, your help at home, or the small chai shop owner how much interest he pays when he or she takes an unsecured loan taken in the private loan market which his largely controlled by individual players. It might surprise you, he or she might be paying four to five times more than the interest rate which any regular bank charges on an unsecured loan.

A play on economic growth and transformation: 7 auto stocks from different segments with upside potential of up to 41%
Unlike the US and some other western countries, where a separate transportation index is watched very closely, in India we don't have a very popular transportation index.

If one looks at the history of the stock market, the rallies which are led by the transportation and auto sector are more durable rallies. Especially the ones which are led by large commercial vehicles. The reason, sales of LCV and certain other auto segments is an indication of the economic situation on the ground. Demand for large commercial vehicles would only increase when there is higher economic growth as more goods get moved from one place to another when the economy is doing well.

However, like I said, maybe the sheer weight of being such a large heavyweight will keep it under check. And I think today it could be a little bit weak . But if you have a longer term view, then definitely State Bank is one PSU bank where long term money should find its way.
