Canara Bank reported strong Q4 and full year FY26 results with global business growing 12.11% to Rs 28 lakh crore. Net profit for the year was Rs 19,187 crore, up 12.69% YoY, with a provision coverage ratio of 94.21%. Asset quality improved significantly - GNPA declined 110 basis points to 1.84% and Net NPA to 0.43%. The bank proposed a dividend of Rs 4.20 per share. RAM credit grew 19.73% led by retail (up 32.93%) and vehicle loans (up 26.33%). Management guided for 11-12% credit growth next year but expressed confidence in exceeding guidance, with NIM expected to be 2.5-2.6% and ROA above 1%. The bank expects a one-time ECL impact of Rs 10,000 crore but is well-positioned to absorb it given strong profitability.
The bank demonstrated robust growth and improving asset quality, with management guiding for continued stable performance. While the ECL implementation will create a one-time provision charge, strong capital buffers (CRAR 17.04%) and earnings capacity should cushion the impact. The conservative 11-12% growth guidance suggests room for upside surprise.
