Bandhan Bank Q1 Profit Rises 35% Amid Lower Provisions, Cuts RoA Guidance
Bandhan Bank reported a 35% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 502 crore for Q1 FY27, driven by a 41% decline in provisions despite a 19% drop in operating profit due to higher staff and technology expenses. Net interest income grew 6%, while net interest margin slightly contracted to 6.2%. Loan growth was strong at 16%, with improved asset quality reflected in a lower gross NPA ratio of 3.15%. However, the bank lowered its FY27 exit return on assets guidance to 1.2-1.4% from 1.6-1.8%, citing margin pressures and elevated costs, leading to a sharp decline in its share price.
