It is still up about 24% to 27% this year, but it is 11% below the lifetime high of Rs 374.95 set on 19 Oct. The fall comes on a day when the Nifty Midcap 100 is down about 2.7% and the Nifty Bank is down about 1.3%.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Karur Vysya Bank share price fell 6.25% to Rs 333.80 in the morning of 23 Oct, against a 0.9% to 1.2% fall in the Sensex and Nifty. I found no new company news behind the drop, so the likeliest reasons are profit booking after an 8.5% two-day rally and a weak market, with midcaps down more than 2.5%. The Q2 FY27 profit of Rs 787.69 crore, up 37.2%, is unchanged, and brokerages quoted last week had targets of Rs 400 to Rs 415. This is an intraday view and the numbers can change by the close.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Karur Vysya Bank share price has been one of the strong stories among private banks this year, so a 6% fall in a single session draws attention fast. The stock is closely followed because the headline links it to the portfolio of Rekha Jhunjhunwala, and any sharp move in such names gets noticed.<\/p>\n<p>This article on Karur Vysya Bank share price covers today&#8217;s move, the likely causes, the year-to-date gain, the Q2 numbers, brokerage targets, valuation and the levels to watch. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Please treat them as likely factors and not as facts from the company.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Profit booking after a sharp run.<\/strong> The Karur Vysya Bank share price rose about 8.5% over two sessions after the Q2 results and hit a lifetime high of Rs 374.95 on 19 Oct, according to Business Standard. Today&#8217;s price is about 11% below that high (my calculation).<\/li>\n<li><strong>A broad market fall.<\/strong> The Nifty 50 is down about 1.15%, the Nifty Bank about 1.3%, the Nifty Midcap 100 about 2.7%, and the PSU Bank index about 2.4%. Mid-sized banks usually fall more than the index when the market turns weak.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crude oil and inflation worries.<\/strong> Brent crude rose to about $114 on reports of attacks on Saudi targets, and higher oil can keep inflation and interest rates elevated, which weighs on banks and borrowers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy volume.<\/strong> About 22.95 lakh shares traded by midday, so the Karur Vysya Bank share price is falling on active selling, which shows active selling and not a thin-volume dip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><em>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/univest-stocks-investment\/id6443753518\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest iOS App<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.univest.capp&#038;hl=en_IN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Univest Android App<\/a> to get stock alerts and track bank stocks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> A fall without company news can reverse as quickly as it came, or it can extend if the market stays weak.

A net NPA of 0.18% and a provision coverage of 96.13% show very clean books, and a return on assets above 2% is high for the sector. Equirus reported that slippages and credit cost stood at 46 and 44 basis points, against 55 and 33 in Q1, and operating expenses grew only 2% YoY.<\/p>\n<p>The bank also raised its FY27 net interest margin guidance to above 4% from 3.7% to 3.8%, and kept loan growth guidance at 18% to 20%, as reported by Equirus. Good news like this was already in the Karur Vysya Bank share price, which is why a quality stock can still fall when the broader market weakens.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rekha_Jhunjhunwala_and_the_Karur_Vysya_Bank_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>Rekha Jhunjhunwala and the Karur Vysya Bank Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The headline calls this a Rekha Jhunjhunwala stock. Her holding changes from quarter to quarter and I have not verified the latest figure, so please read the September 2026 quarter shareholding pattern on the BSE website for the exact stake. A well known investor holding a stock does not protect it from a market fall, and the stake size matters more than the name.<\/p>\n<p>For readers who follow her portfolio, the useful question is whether the reason to own the bank has changed. Nothing in the results points to that, and the Karur Vysya Bank share price has no new bad news to price in. Asset quality, margins and profit growth all improved in Q2, so today&#8217;s fall looks like a price reaction and not a business reaction, though that is my reading and the market may see it differently.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Karur_Vysya_Bank_Share_Price_Targets_and_Valuation\"><\/span><strong>Karur Vysya Bank Share Price Targets and Valuation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Karur Vysya Bank share price: brokerage view<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Target and basis<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Upside from Rs 333.80 (my calculation)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Equirus Securities<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 400 by Sep 2027; 1.8x Sep 2028 adjusted book value<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 19.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Elara Capital (Buy)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 415; 2.0x Sep FY28E price to book<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 24.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Karur Vysya Bank share price: valuation measure<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Figure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Trailing EPS<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 30.61<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">P\/E at Rs 333.80<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 10.9 times (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Industry P\/E<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">12.59 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Book value per share<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 159.26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Price to book at Rs 333.80<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 2.1 times (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Return on equity<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">19.22%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Dividend yield<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">0.73% on the previous close<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>At about 10.9 times trailing earnings the Karur Vysya Bank share price is below the industry multiple of 12.59, with a return on equity of 19.22%.
