Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank reported their Q2 FY27 financial results, showing year-on-year net profit increases of 38%, 4.7-5.5%, and 20-22%, respectively. Axis Bank's net profit rose to Rs 7,003 crore, supported by higher net interest income and improved asset quality, despite missing some estimates. HDFC Bank's profit growth was limited by a decline in treasury gains but benefited from loan growth and better asset quality. ICICI Bank posted strong profit and loan growth with improved asset quality and lower provisions. All three banks showed growth in advances and deposits alongside stable or improved non-performing asset ratios.
