Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a strong set of Q4FY26 results, with net profit rising 13.4% year-on-year to Rs 4,026.55 crore, beating estimates of around Rs 3,663 crore.
The bank’s net interest income (NII) grew 8.1% YoY to Rs 7,876 crore, compared to Rs 7,284 crore in the same quarter last year, reflecting steady core business growth.
Operating profit for the quarter increased 7% YoY to Rs 5,855 crore, while interest income rose 4.8% to Rs 14,175 crore. Interest expenses saw a marginal increase of 0.9% to Rs 6,299 crore. Meanwhile, other income declined 2.1% YoY to Rs 3,116 crore.
The bank’s board has recommended a dividend of Rs 0.65 per equity share of face value Re 1, subject to shareholder approval.
The better-than-expected profit performance and steady growth in core income may keep the stock in focus, even as investors track margin trends and asset quality metrics for further cues.
