HDFC, ICICI, and RBL Banks Report Mixed Q3 Results with Positive Analyst Outlooks

HDFC Bank reported an 11% year-on-year rise in Q3 FY26 net profit to around Rs 18,650 crore, with net interest income growing 6.4% and stable margins. Analysts remain positive, citing strong asset quality and potential upside despite subdued deposit growth and a high loan-to-deposit ratio. ICICI Bank posted a 4% profit decline due to one-off provisions but showed steady core performance, stable margins, and improving asset quality. RBL Bank saw a 555% profit surge driven by other income and better asset quality, with analysts maintaining buy ratings across these private lenders amid mixed growth and provision trends.
