PNB Housing Finance Shares Plummet Amid Block Deal Speculation
Real Estate News:PNB Housing Finance Ltd shares took a hit on Tuesday, declining over 2% in trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) amidst a surge in turnover. This sudden downturn followed a media report suggesting that Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, was looking to offload a significant 12.8% stake in the state-run housing finance company. According to reports, Carlyle Group had increased the block deal size to 12.8% from its initial 6.4%, with the offer size totalling a staggering Rs 2,511 crore, up from Rs 1,256 crore earlier.

A staggering 3.43 crore PNB Housing Finance shares, worth Rs 2,654.56 crore, changed hands on the BSE. The stock plummeted 2.41% to hit a low of Rs 775, before recovering some ground. It was later trading at Rs 784, down 1.28%. The offer price was set at Rs 755, which was at a 5% discount to Monday's closing price.

Despite this development, JM Financial remains bullish on PNB Housing Finance's prospects. Post the company's Q1 results, JM Financial noted that the asset quality for the Housing Finance Company (HFC) was now at a comfortable level. With recoveries expected to continue from the balance write-off pool, it will offer significant tailwinds in terms of credit costs.
