Tamilnad Mercantile Bank delivered a strong Q4 FY26, with net profit of ₹373.65 crore (up 28.01% YoY), driven by robust loan growth of 20.32% (22.57% including IBPC sales) and NIM expansion to 4.18%. CASA ratio improved to 28.14% (up 170bps YoY), and asset quality remained pristine with GNPA at 0.73% and NNPA at 0.18%. Management guided for FY27 loan growth of ~20% and deposit growth of ~16%, with ROA expected in the 1.9-2% range. Key risks include potential moderation in gold loan growth if gold prices stabilize, and margin pressure from rising deposit costs and MSME expansion.
