Banking stocks have been at the receiving end for the last few weeks now. Investors have dumped these stocks on worries over the quality of assets. It is believed that non performing assets could worsen for banks in the next couple of quarters, before showing improvement later this year.

New provisioning norms may lead to further dip in net interest margins, many analysts feel. Even private sector banking stocks and heavyweights like ICICI Bank and Axis Bank have been dumped by investors on worries over asset quality.

In fact, stocks like ICICI Bank and Bank of Baroda have not hit 52-week lows, but, are very close to those levels.
