On the reaction day the stock moved 4.8 pts more than Nifty Midcap 150 and 2.0 pts more than its Public Sector Bank peers, over the same two closes: a difference in percentage points, not a measure of what the filing did.
Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Bank of India's Q2 FY26 standalone net profit rose 7.6% year on year to Rs 2,555 crore; total income rose 3.8% to Rs 20,626 crore. Gross and net NPAs improved to 2.54% and 0.65%. Operating margin fell to 18.52%. The half-year carried a consolidated Rs 519 crore exceptional charge from rural bank mergers, while operating cash flow was negative Rs 10,427 crore.
Higher profit and better asset quality support sentiment, but weaker operating margin, negative cash flow and the merger charge are near-term concerns.
