Quarter read
What the record says.
DCB Bank delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with PAT of ₹726 crore (full year), the highest ever, driven by 18% YoY advances growth and 21% YoY deposit growth. Net interest margin improved to 3.39%, up 12 bps QoQ, aided by lower cost of deposits (down 44 bps YoY) and a shift in product mix away from low-yield co-lending (now 13.9% of book). Asset quality improved to a 7-year low with gross NPA at 2.45% and net NPA at 0.89%, while credit cost fell to 40 bps (below the 45-55 bps model). Management guided for continued NIM improvement through Q2, with deposit repricing benefits and a focus on growing high-quality mortgage and MSME books. Key risk: prolonged West Asia crisis could pressure lower-income borrowers and raise credit costs.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Deposit repricing benefits expected to flow until late Q2 or early Q3, supporting NIM.
- Management reiterated guidance of credit cost below 45 bps for FY27, with current run-rate at 40 bps.
- Net addition of ~1,500 employees, primarily in liability and distribution roles.
- Bank plans to raise equity (likely ~$100M) to support growth, with enabling resolution for ₹1,500 cr.
Risks flagged
- Prolonged conflict could raise hydrocarbon prices, hurting lower-income borrowers and increasing credit costs.
- CASA growth is flat; management acknowledged it as a key disappointment and is yet to see results from efforts.
- While gold loan co-lending is settled, other segments (e.g., education) are still transitioning to new CLM guidelines.
- Management noted that maintaining NIM at current levels depends on continued liability cost discipline, which is an execution challenge.
Key quotes
- This is the eighth successive quarter... the bank continues to grow in line with the stated milestones and the objectives.
- We moved from managing NPA to managing one DPD... what you see in March is the result of those activities.
- If you continue performing like this, the next raise will be at a different level.
