The bank has reported strong financials for the quarter ended 30-09-2022, with a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 25258.80 Crore, up 11.34% from the last quarter and 20.47% from the same quarter last year. The bank also reported net profit after tax of Rs 5612.33 Crore in the latest quarter.
The bank's performance was driven by margin expansion, high other income, and improving
cost metrics. Business growth was healthy, led by the corporate segment. Asset quality continued to improve, even as slippages increased marginally, compensated by healthy recoveries and upgrades. The restructured book moderated further, while a higher provisioning buffer provided comfort.
The brokerage has slightly tweaked its estimates and expects the bank to deliver RoA/RoE of 1.9%/17.3% in FY25. This makes Axis Bank a great investment opportunity for those looking to capitalize on the growth potential of the Indian banking sector.
