    Union Bank Share Price Falls Over 7% After Q1 Business Update: Know the Details Here

    Union Bank of India’s share price remained under pressure on Friday, July 3, as investors reacted to the lender's first quarter business update. The stock fell during early trade and emerged as the worst-performing stock in the Bank Nifty index. The decline also marked the second consecutive session of losses for the public sector lender.

    The weakness came after the bank released its provisional business figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. While the overall business continued to grow on a year-on-year basis, the pace of growth slowed in a few key areas.

    Slower Credit Growth

    In its business update, the bank said credit growth moderated during the quarter. Growth in Retail, Agriculture and MSME, commonly known as RAM advances, also slowed compared with earlier trends.

    The bank further said deposits declined on a quarter-on-quarter basis. It attributed the fall to intense competition for deposits across the banking sector.
