Jammu & Kashmir Bank reported record FY26 net profit of INR 2,363 crores, marking the fourth consecutive year of record profitability, with Q4 net profit of ~INR 800 crores (36% Q-on-Q growth). Business grew 13.6% with deposits up 11.3% and advances up 16.8%. NIM came in at 3.60%, slightly missing guidance due to RBI rate cuts, while CASA ratio improved to 45.65%. RoA and RoE stood at 1.37% and 16.85% respectively. Asset quality remained strong with GNPA at 2.50% and NNPA at 0.64%, while credit cost guidance is 0.1-0.2%. The bank plans to raise INR 1,250 crores capital in FY27 ahead of ECL implementation from April 2027, estimated to cost ~INR 1,600-1,700 crores over five years. Employee costs are declining due to NPS shift and retirements, expected to stay below INR 2,500 crores annually. For FY27, management gave conservative guidance: 12% credit growth, 10% deposit growth, 3.5% NIM, and Gross NPA below 2.25%. The bank aspires to reach INR 5 lakh crores business in three years.
The bank delivered strong profitability despite challenges in J&K geography, with management taking a conservative stance on FY27 guidance due to external uncertainties. The capital raise plan and ECL provisioning requirements may have minor dilutive impact, but the bank's strong asset quality and cost controls position it well for sustained growth.
