Quarter read
What the record says.
RBL Bank reported a strong Q4 FY26 with net profit of ₹230 crore (vs ₹69 crore YoY), driven by 23% YoY advances growth and improved asset quality. Secured retail assets grew 36% YoY, while credit card slippages remained elevated at ₹580 crore but are expected to normalize in H2 FY27. The bank crossed 600 branches and received regulatory approvals for the Emirates NBD capital infusion, which will strengthen capital ratios. NIM compressed 22bps due to repo rate cuts and mix shift, but management expects stabilization in Q1 and improvement thereafter. Key risk: credit card slippages may persist longer than anticipated, delaying profitability recovery.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects credit card slippage rate to decline to around 7-7.5% in the second half of FY27, with credit cost for the portfolio falling to ~5.5%.
- Net interest margin is expected to remain stable in Q1 FY27 and then improve from Q2 onwards, aided by lower cost of deposits and capital infusion.
- The bank plans to open 150-200 branches in FY27, continuing the momentum from 52 branches added in FY26.
- Overall deposit growth will be consciously lower in FY27 as the bank uses capital infusion to reduce high-cost deposits, but retail deposits will continue to grow at around 25%.
Risks flagged
- Credit card slippages remained high at ₹580 crore in Q4, and management expects elevated levels to continue in H1 FY27 before normalizing. Any delay could pressure profitability.
- Analysts raised concerns about potential impact from the Middle East conflict on the bank's portfolio. Management stated no material impact seen so far but remains cautious.
- The bank's focus on secured retail and wholesale lending is reducing overall yields, which could continue to pressure NIMs despite lower cost of deposits.
Key quotes
- We crossed a total business of 2.5 lakh cr during the quarter.
- We have now clear visibility that the slippages that we have is a matter of H1 at max and we should materially reduce slippages in H2.
- The incoming capital infusion from ENBD further strengthens our ability to accelerate the growth while remaining firmly focused on long-term profitability and resilience.
