Bank of Baroda Q4 results expectations:
Elara Capital
Analysts at Elara Capital anticipate a muted growth of 2.1 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) in Bank of Baroda's Q4FY25 net profit at ₹4,991.3 crore. This comes against a net profit of ₹4,886.5 crore reported at the end of Q4FY24.
On a sequential basis, analysts said the profit could rise 3.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) from ₹4,837.3 crore seen at the end of Q3FY25.
The marginal increase in net profit is weighed by less than 1 per cent Y-o-Y rise in net interest income (NII) of ₹11,836.7 crore as against ₹11,792.8 crore in the March quarter of FY24. Sequentially, NII is seen rising 3.7 per cent from ₹11,416.9 crore.
Bank of Baroda's non-interest income is seen falling 12.5 per cent Y-o-Y/3 per cent Q-o-Q to ₹3,666.6 crore, leading to a decline in reported operating profit by around 4 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹7,798.3 crore from ₹8,106.1 crore.
That apart, the brokerage believes BoB's loan growth traction may sustain in Q4FY25 (12.6 per cent Y-o-Y/4.2 per cent Q-o-Q), but deposit growth may be slightly lower (9.6 per cent Y-o-Y/4.4 per cent Q-o-Q).
Net interest margin (NIM) could come around 3.1 per cent in Q4FY25 vs 2.9 per cent Q-o-Q/3.3 per cent Y-o-Y.
