Key insights

Company research notes and source-linked reviews

Key risks

Net profit declined to ₹290.78 Cr in Dec 2025 from ₹319.12 Cr in Sep 2025; verify whether seasonal patterns, credit provisions, or operational challenges drove this volatility.
ROE of 10.36% represents the return on shareholder capital; verify the bank's target hurdle rate and historical trend to determine if capital is deployed efficiently.
Stock has appreciated 78.32% in 1y and trades at ₹309.65, near 52w high of ₹313.7; PE of 8.15 may indicate either undervaluation or market concerns about future earnings—clarify which.
Interest rate sensitivity and credit risk are inherent to banks; verify NPA ratios, loan loss provisions, and rate sensitivity to assess earnings sustainability.

Growth drivers

Revenue grew 9.3% from ₹2,179.18 Cr (Sep 2025) to ₹2,382.65 Cr (Jun 2026), driven by advances or deposit mobilization in the bank's markets.
Net profit expanded 31% from ₹319.12 Cr (Sep 2025) to ₹418.95 Cr (Jun 2026) with EPS rising from ₹8.44 to ₹11.08, suggesting margin expansion or improved credit quality as loan book grew.
Operating margin stability at 66–70% across quarters indicates cost discipline can sustain profitability as advances scale.
D/E ratio of 0.4 provides headroom to lever the balance sheet for asset growth without material increase in financial risk.

Bulk deals are a client trading over 0.5% of the equity in a session, aggregated across their trades; block deals are single negotiated trades in the exchange’s block window. Each is reported by the exchange it was crossed on, so NSE and BSE rows are separate trades rather than the same trade twice.
