MeridStreet AI summary

IDBI Bank shares fell 7% after investors decided to book profits following the Cabinet's approval of Fairfax's acquisition of a 60.72% stake in the lender. This decline comes after a significant rally in the previous session, where the stock surged nearly 13%. The sharp drop in IDBI Bank's shares is a natural consequence of investors locking in their gains after the stock's price had risen to Rs 93.60, lifting its market capitalisation above Rs 1 lakh crore.
