Rekha Jhunjhunwala portfolio: Ace investor picks fresh stake in THIS stock; cuts holding in Bazaar Retail

Ace investor Rekha Jhunjhunwala has added Canara Bank to her portfolio during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, acquiring a 1.46 per cent stake in the public sector bank, according to the latest shareholding pattern filed by the company.

She had previously exited the stock in the December quarter, only to re-enter in the most recent quarter. As of September 30, 2024, her holding in Canara Bank stood at 1.42 per cent.

Canara Bank's share price has underperformed over the last year, with the stock losing 27 per cent over the past 12 months and 11 per cent in 2025 so far.

The stock has, however, given multibagger returns to its long-term investors by soaring over 375.44 per cent in five years.

Investor concerns around the bank's net interest margins (NIIs) have added to the pressure on the counter, though broader market conditions have also been challenging. 

The Nifty index has erased its gains and is now showing slight losses over a one-year period. In 2025 to date, it has declined by nearly 5 per cent.
