Shares of the 1.29 lakh crore public sector bank fell, but FIIs have been buying shares for 9 months, now big news has come on the exchange.

News Topical, Digital Desk : While Bank of Baroda's stock has been under pressure recently, its fundamental performance is showing strong signs. The stock closed down nearly 1% at ₹249.56 on April 3, 2025, and has declined 20% over the past month. Despite this, one-year and three-year returns are positive, and the bank's business growth figures offer investors hope.

First of all, talking about the performance of the stock, on April 3, 2025, it closed at Rs 249.56, down by about 1%.

The stock has seen a decline of approximately 20% over the past month, indicating short-term pressure. However, the long-term picture is better. The stock has gained approximately 8% in one year and has delivered impressive returns of approximately 50% in three years. This clearly indicates weakness in the short term, but the story remains strong for long-term investors. Now, let's discuss the most important point: the bank's business update. Q4 data clearly shows that the bank's operations are growing rapidly. The bank's total global business grew approximately 13.93% year-on-year to reach ₹30.78 lakh crore, compared to ₹27.02 lakh crore last year. This indicates that the bank's scale is continuously expanding.

Deposits, or the amount of deposits, have increased by 12% globally, reaching ₹16.48 lakh crore.
Meanwhile, global advances, or the loan book, have seen strong growth of 16.23%, reaching ₹14.30 lakh crore.

The bank's performance in the domestic market has also been strong. Domestic deposits have increased by 12.83% to ₹14.01 lakh crore, while domestic advances have increased by 14.56% to ₹11.69 lakh crore.

These figures clearly indicate that the bank's core business, i.e., deposits and loans, are both experiencing strong growth.

Another interesting trend is the growing interest of FIIs. While the share of foreign investors was 8.08% in June 2025, it increased to 9.84% by December 2025. This means that large investors are showing confidence in this bank.

So, what does the overall picture say?
While the stock has fallen recently, the bank's business remains strong, growth is continuing, and large investor confidence is rising.

This makes the stock volatile for short-term traders, but it's certainly a good option for long-term investors to keep an eye on.
