Punjab National Bank, Federal Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank are among four BSE 100 stocks that have touched fresh 52-week highs. The three banks have seen their shares rise strongly over the past month, with gains ranging from about 10% to 22%.

The fourth stock to reach a new yearly peak is also a member of the BSE 100 index, which tracks some of the largest companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

A 52-week high marks the highest price a share has reached in the past year, and it is often watched by investors as a sign of strong recent demand. The move also shows how the stocks have gained ground at a time when many shares in the broader market have been more mixed.

Investors looking at these names will want to track how the shares hold their gains in the coming sessions.
