PSU stocks shine in FY26: 11 gain over 25%, one turns multibagger

The majority of PSU stocks are trading positive so far in FY26, signaling renewed investor confidence. The BSE PSU Index has posted an impressive 6.1% gain, slightly outpacing the benchmark Sensex, which rose 5.8% during the same period.
Out of 62 listed PSU stocks on the BSE, 47 have delivered positive returns so far this fiscal. Notably, 31 of these winners have clocked in double-digit gains, signaling strong investor interest in the government-backed sector. Topping the charts are 11 PSU stocks that have surged over 25%, with one turning multibagger, and another close to doubling investors' money. These standout performers reflect renewed market confidence in the PSU space, often seen as a barometer of the broader economy.

However, it hasn't been a smooth ride for all. On the flip side, five PSU stocks have seen a sharp decline of over 10%, including names like General Insurance Corporation of India, REC, Central Bank of India, UCO Bank, and Punjab & Sind Bank. Despite these laggards, the overall sentiment around PSUs remains upbeat, buoyed by ongoing government reforms and sectoral tailwinds (Data Source: ACE Equity).
