Axis Bank’s share price took a significant hit, falling over 6% after the bank reported a dip in its first-quarter net profit.
Q1 Earnings Show a Dip
On Friday, shares of Axis Bank tumbled nearly 6% following the release of its Q1 financial results. The bank reported a 3% decline in its consolidated net profit for the June quarter, reaching Rs 6,243.72 crore.
Looking at standalone figures, the third-largest private sector lender saw its net profit fall to Rs 5,806 crore, down from Rs 6,034 crore in the same period last year. This figure also represents a sharp decrease compared to the Rs 7,117 crore reported in the previous quarter.
The “Technical Impact” on Profits
While the bank’s core income showed modest growth during this period, profits were significantly affected by a specific “technical impact.” This amounted to a Rs 614 crore hit, directly contributing to the overall dip in earnings.
Despite the challenges, Axis Bank’s domestic subsidiaries performed well. Their post-tax net profit increased by 4% to Rs 451 crore. Notably, Axis Finance saw a 23% growth in its net profit to Rs 189 crore, and the asset management arm’s net profit grew by 12% to Rs 130 crore.
Share Price Journey: Short-term vs. Long-term
The immediate reaction to the Q1 results was a sharp drop in Axis Bank’s share price, reflecting investor concerns. In the short term, the shares have seen negative returns, dropping 6.39% in the last week and 10% over the past month.
However, the long-term view presents a different picture. Over the last two years, Axis Bank shares have risen 14.05%. Looking further back, they show impressive gains of 60.54% over three years, 153.56% over five years, and 82.43% over a decade.
Dividend and Bonus History
Axis Bank has a consistent history of paying dividends, declaring Re 1 per share in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Currently, the dividend yield stands at 0.091%.
It’s worth noting that the bank has not issued any bonuses to its equity shareholders in its history.
- Axis Bank’s Q1 consolidated net profit dipped 3% to Rs 6,243.72 crore.
- A “technical impact” of Rs 614 crore significantly affected the quarter’s profits.
- Despite the main bank’s dip, domestic subsidiaries showed positive profit growth.
- While short-term share performance is negative, the long-term trend remains positive.
Investors will be closely watching how Axis Bank addresses the “technical impact” and whether its core income growth can accelerate in the coming quarters.
