IndusInd Bank Posts Q4 Profit Surge; Axis Bank Reports Slight Profit Dip Amid Provisions

IndusInd Bank reported a strong Q4 FY26 turnaround with a net profit of around Rs 594 crore, reversing a prior loss, driven by improved asset quality, lower provisions, and higher net interest income. Brokerages raised target prices, citing recovery signs despite cautious outlook on growth momentum. Conversely, Axis Bank's Q4 profit slightly declined to Rs 7,071 crore due to higher provisions and trading losses amid geopolitical concerns, leading to a 3-5% share price drop. Analysts noted stable core performance and improved asset quality but highlighted near-term uncertainties and the need for execution to sustain growth.
