Soft loan growth of 9 per cent Y-o-Y/3.8 per cent Q-o-Q to ₹10.53 trillion, coupled with 6.7 per cent Y-o-Y/4 per cent Q-o-Q rise in deposit growth to ₹11.39 trillion, may lead to 6.7 per cent rise in net interest income in Q4FY25.
Elara Capital anticipates Q4FY25 NII at ₹13,961.9 crore as against ₹13,089 crore in Q4FY24 and ₹13,605.1 crore in Q3FY25.
Among key monitorables, Elara Capital said Axis Bank shareholders should watch out for NIM growth outlook, asset quality trends, and management commentary as regards progress on deposit growth, outlook on PPoP growth, and credit cost outcomes.
