• Other Indian banks with the worst returns include Punjab & Sind Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Union Bank of India, IDBI Bank, and Punjab National Bank.

Indian banks dominated the list of 15 worst-performing bank stocks in Asia-Pacific put out by S&P Global Market Intelligence. All of them logged in double-digit total negative returns between July and September.

10 out of the 15 banks were Indian, with YES Bank at the bottom of the list with returns dipping by 48.63%, which is hardly surprising considering the YES Bank scandal followed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, smaller banks from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and China were among the best-performing stocks for the three months ending on September 30.
