ICICI Bank reported a strong Q1 FY24 with PAT up 39.7% YoY to INR 96.48 billion, driven by robust loan growth of 18.1% YoY and NII expansion of 38% YoY. Core operating profit less provisions grew 38% YoY to INR 125.95 billion, supported by healthy fee income and controlled credit costs. NIM compressed sequentially to 4.78% due to lagged deposit repricing, but management expects stabilization in 2-3 quarters. Asset quality improved with GNPA at 0.48% (down from 0.70% YoY). The bank continues to invest in technology and distribution, with employee expenses rising 36.3% YoY. Guidance remains positive on growth, though cost of deposits may rise further. Risk: unsecured loan growth (40.6% YoY) could face regulatory scrutiny if industry stress emerges.
आईसीआईसीआई बैंक ने पहली तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। इसका मुनाफा पिछले साल की तुलना में 39.7% बढ़कर 96,480 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। इसकी वजह लोन में 18.1% की बढ़ोतरी और ब्याज आय में 38% का उछाल है। बैंक की कमाई मजबूत है और खराब लोन कम हैं। ब्याज दरों में बदलाव के कारण बैंक की कमाई का मार्जिन थोड़ा घटकर 4.78% रहा, लेकिन अगले 2-3 तिमाहियों में स्थिर होने की उम्मीद है। बैंक के खराब लोन का अनुपात 0.48% है, जो पिछले साल से बेहतर है। बैंक तकनीक और शाखाओं पर खर्च बढ़ा रहा है। हालांकि, बिना गारंटी वाले लोन में 40.6% की तेज बढ़ोतरी पर नजर रखनी होगी, क्योंकि इससे नियामक सख्ती हो सकती है।
