PNB Flags ₹2,434 Crore SREI Loan Fraud to RBI: What the Exchange Filing Reveals, the KPMG Forensic Audit Trail, and What Happens Next

Punjab National Bank (PNB) has reported a ₹2,434 crore “borrowal fraud” to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), linking the case to the erstwhile promoters of two SREI Group entities—SREI Equipment Finance Ltd (SEFL) and SREI Infrastructure Finance Ltd (SIFL)—in a disclosure made to stock exchanges after market hours on Friday, December 26, 2025. The Economic Times+2NDTV Profit+2 The headline number is large, but the filing also contains a key reassurance for investors: PNB says it has already made 100% provisioning for the reported outstanding amounts, indicating no incremental hit to its financials from the disclosure itself.

New York time check: It’s 2:06 p.m. ET on Friday, December 26, 2025 in New York, and the NYSE is open for the regular core session (9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET). New York Stock Exchange Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is pulling back modestly in a quiet, holiday‑thinned session even as U.S. equities hover near record territory. Citi shares were trading around $120.27, down about 1.1% on the day in the early afternoon, after ranging roughly $119.69 to $122.03. The dip comes after a powerful run into year‑end that pushed the stock to fresh highs this week (including a $122.84 print on

HDFC Bank Limited Stock (NSE: HDFCBANK) on 26 December 2025: Share Price Today, Latest News, Analyst Targets and 2026 Outlook

HDFC Bank Limited (NSE: HDFCBANK; BSE: 500180) traded slightly lower on Friday, 26 December 2025, moving broadly in line with a subdued Indian equity session marked by thin year-end volumes and weakness across key sectors such as financials and IT. By early afternoon, HDFC Bank was quoted around the ₹990 level, down roughly 0.7% on the day, with an intraday range just under ₹1,000. Moneycontrol That “quiet drift” matters for a stock like HDFC Bank because the market is increasingly treating it as a referendum on two things at once: (1) how quickly post-merger balance-sheet normalisation converts into faster growth

Citigroup (C) News Today: Regulatory Progress, Banamex Sale, and Wall Street’s 2026 Outlook for Citi Stock

Citigroup (C) News Today: Regulatory Progress, Banamex Sale, and Wall Street’s 2026 Outlook for Citi Stock

NEW YORK — Dec. 25, 2025 — Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is closing out 2025 with a very different narrative than the one investors grew used to over the past decade: momentum. Citi shares last traded around $121.56 on Wednesday’s Christmas Eve session (Dec. 24), after moving between roughly $119.40 and $122.83, putting the stock near recent highs heading into the year-end holiday break. MarketBeat That price action matters because 2025 has increasingly been framed on Wall Street as “the Citi comeback year,” driven by a combination of turnaround execution, improving sentiment toward large U.S. banks, and—critically—fresh signs that Citi’s

Financial Services Stocks Outlook (Dec. 25, 2025): Bank Stocks, Insurance Shares and Fintech Enter 2026 With Rates, Regulation and Digital Payments in Focus

U.S. markets are closed on Thursday for Christmas Day, but financial services stocks still head into the final stretch of 2025 with plenty of momentum—and no shortage of catalysts. In the last U.S. session before the holiday, the Dow and S&P 500 closed at record highs, and financials were among the day’s best-performing sectors, helped by a lift in bank stocks during thin, year-end trading. Reuters For investors tracking bank stocks, insurance stocks, payments stocks and fintech stocks, the year-end narrative is coalescing around three forces that are likely to dominate the first half of 2026: Below is a comprehensive,

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX:CBA): Latest News, Share Price, Dividend Outlook and Analyst Forecasts as of 25 December 2025

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) heads into the Christmas break with investors balancing two competing narratives: the bank’s still-strong operating fundamentals and capital position, versus a valuation that many analysts continue to label “stretched” and vulnerable to even small disappointments. Because the ASX is closed on 25 December 2025, the most recent on-market reference point is the 24 December close, when CBA finished at A$161.39. Yahoo Finance CBA share price today: where the stock stands on 25 December 2025 CBA’s last traded price before the holiday shutdown was A$161.39 (24 Dec 2025 close), after a short, low-liquidity pre-Christmas session.

Singapore Stock Market Today (24 Dec 2025): STI Dips in Christmas Eve Half-Day as Banks Turn Mixed and Global “Santa Rally” Signals Build

SINGAPORE (24 Dec 2025) — Singapore shares ended the Christmas Eve session slightly lower, with trading activity muted as investors headed into the festive break and liquidity thinned across global markets. The Straits Times Index (STI) slipped 2.63 points to 4,636.34, while the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index edged up 1.61 points to 1,448.61. Market breadth stayed constructive, with advancers beating decliners 235 to 167, even as turnover reflected the shortened session: 477.8 million securities worth about S$496.3 million changed hands. (The Business Times) The day’s price action captured a familiar year-end dynamic: Singapore’s benchmark stayed near recent highs, but the market lacked a decisive catalyst to push meaningfully higher —

Citigroup Stock News (NYSE: C) on Dec. 24, 2025: Regulatory Relief, Banamex Progress, and Wall Street Forecasts for 2026

NEW YORK — Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is closing out 2025 with a resurgence that has put C stock back on many investors’ watchlists. In the holiday-shortened session on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, Wall Street traded close to record territory amid thin volumes, while bank shares remained in focus after a string of December headlines around regulatory progress, strategic streamlining, and improving profitability expectations. Reuters For Citigroup specifically, the story going into year-end is less about a single “Christmas Eve catalyst” and more about a stack of developments in the past two weeks that has helped reframe the Citi turnaround

DBS Group Holdings Ltd Stock (SGX:D05) on Dec. 24, 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and the 2026 Outlook

SINGAPORE — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX:D05; Reuters: DBSM.SI), Southeast Asia’s largest bank by assets, ended the shortened Christmas Eve session (Dec. 24, 2025) slightly lower even as broader global risk sentiment stayed constructive. DBS shares slipped 0.1% (down S$0.04) to S$56.30, while the Straits Times Index (STI) edged down 0.06% to 4,636.34. The Business Times That small dip hides a bigger story investors have been tracking into year-end: DBS is simultaneously navigating rate-driven margin headwinds and leaning into fee engines (wealth, transaction banking), while returning capital at an unusually visible scale. On the news front, the bank’s newly announced

MUFG’s ₹39,618 Crore Shriram Finance Deal: What’s in the Agreement, What Changes for Borrowing Costs, and Why India’s NBFC Boom Is Drawing Global Banks

New Delhi — December 24, 2025: Japan’s MUFG Bank is set to buy a 20% stake (fully diluted) in Shriram Finance through a preferential allotment worth about ₹39,618 crore (≈$4.4 billion), in what multiple reports describe as one of the largest foreign investments in India’s financial services space in 2025. Reuters+2MUFG+2 The announcement has quickly moved beyond a “big-ticket FDI” headline. Investors, rating-watchers and rival lenders are now focused on the mechanics: how the deal is structured, why MUFG is choosing an NBFC rather than a bank, what Shriram intends to do with the capital, and whether this partnership can

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Stock (ASX: CBA): Latest News, Analyst Forecasts and 2026 Outlook on 24 December 2025

Published: 24 December 2025 Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) shares are heading into the Christmas break with two forces tugging in opposite directions: a fresh burst of regulatory-and-reputation scrutiny after the bank agreed to new “goodwill” payments tied to excessive-fee findings, and a valuation debate that refuses to die while the stock still trades at a premium to peers. On 24 December, investors are essentially asking one big question in different costumes: does the market keep paying top dollar for Australia’s biggest bank, or does the valuation gravity win in 2026?
