Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a strong Q4 FY26 with consolidated PAT of ₹5,238 crore (+6% QoQ), driven by a sharp improvement in credit cost to 39 bps (from 63 bps in Q3) and stable NIM at 4.67% (4.54% adjusted for days). Advances grew 16% YoY led by secured retail (mortgages +18%, tractor finance) and corporate banking (+22% YoY). Unsecured retail growth resumed sequentially (+₹1,200 crore) but mix remained at 8.9%. The bank maintained a healthy CASA ratio of 43.3% and capital adequacy of 22.4%. Management guided for gradual NIM compression in FY27, offset by improving fee income and cost efficiencies (cost-to-assets down 27 bps YoY). Key risks include geopolitical disruptions (West Asia crisis) and a below-normal monsoon impacting rural portfolios.
