Investors bank on ICICI after mcap tops $100 bn

The BSE Sensex is up 25 per cent and the BSE BANKEX 22 per cent, according to data from ACE Equity.

ICICI Bank's shares on Wednesday hit a record high for a third day straight, rising 2 per cent on the BSE in intraday trade. On Tuesday, its market capitalisation (mcap) hit $100 billion and surpassed that of UBS. Analysts said ICICI Bank's rise was mostly a rerating of the stock on account of the lender's financials, which they said were 'best-in-class' among peers and could improve. Management quality and expected Union Budget measures for the middle class could help the stock over the coming weeks.
