Perhaps, various market-macro reasons would justify its falling price, but the banks' fundamentals remain strong.

Expecting to trade lower to test 175 to 172 levels. 170 would be treated as a next strong support zone where we can see accumulation."

Advising Canara Bank shareholders to hold the stock further, Sonam Srivastava of Wright Research said, "Existing investors are advised to hold on to the stock and can set targets at 260 & above in the next few quarters. This is an excellent time to enter for new investors as the correction is deep, but the fundamentals are resilient."
