Axis Bank reported Q1FY26 operating profit of ₹11,515 crore, up 14% year-on-year and 7% quarter-on-quarter, driven by 25% growth in non-interest income and 10% growth in fee income. Net profit, however, fell 4% YoY to ₹5,806 crore due to a 'Technical Impact' on asset quality that added ₹614 crore to provisions. Net Interest Margin compressed sharply to 3.80% from 3.97% in Q4FY25. Gross NPA rose to 1.57% (from 1.28%) and net NPA to 0.45%, largely due to technical reclassification of cash credit and overdraft accounts. Deposits grew 9% YoY to ₹11.6 lakh crore and advances grew 8% to ₹10.6 lakh crore, with mid-corporate loans surging 24% YoY. Capital adequacy remained strong at 16.85% with CET-1 at 14.68%, and the bank highlighted a self-sustaining capital structure.
Short-term negative — net profit decline of 4% YoY, NIM compression of 17 bps QoQ, and sharp rise in slippages (gross slippages at ₹8,200 cr vs ₹4,793 cr in Q1FY25) raise concerns on asset quality and profitability. However, strong operating profit growth, healthy capital buffers, and management's optimistic tone on growing faster than the industry in FY26 provide some support.
