Indian Bank reported a decent Q4 FY26 with net profit of ₹3,133 crore (up 11.33% YoY for the full year) and operating profit of ₹5,286 crore (up 5.21% QoQ). Advances grew 13.43% YoY driven by RAM (retail +18.72%, MSME +16.39%) and corporate (+9.19%). Asset quality improved sharply with gross NPA down 111 bps to 1.98% and SMA total reduced to ₹31,000 crore. NIM compressed 17 bps YoY to 3.24% due to elevated deposit costs. Management guided FY27 advance growth of 11-13%, NIM of 3.10-3.25%, and ROA of 1.20-1.30%. Key risks include lower treasury income, declining recovery pool, and potential ECL impact absorption over 1-3 quarters. The bank remains cautious on growth, prioritizing margin and asset quality over market share.
