The pullback follows four straight sessions of gains and comes as the broader market also saw declines, with rising crude oil prices weighing on overall investor sentiment. Despite Thursday&#8217;s dip, the stock has delivered significant gains over various periods, up roughly 78 percent over the past six months, and the company is reportedly on track to become debt-free soon, a milestone that has helped drive investor optimism around the counter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Check Live Stock Fundamentals on Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ESAF_Small_Finance_Bank_Snaps_Its_Winning_Streak\"><\/span><strong>ESAF Small Finance Bank Snaps Its Winning Streak<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ESAF Small Finance Bank shares fell 2.03 percent to Rs 40.00, ending a four-day gaining streak.
