AI summary

Axis Bank's standalone Q2 FY26 net profit fell 12% YoY to Rs 5,090 crore as total income slipped 1.9% to Rs 37,595 crore and operating profit eased to Rs 10,413 crore. A one-time Rs 1,231 crore crop-loan provision pushed quarterly provisions to Rs 3,547 crore. Gross NPAs improved to 1.46% and capital adequacy was 16.55%, but operating cash flow was negative Rs 11,617 crore in H1.

Likely market impact

Lower profit and negative operating cash flow may pressure the stock, though better asset quality and a possible provision write-back offer support.
