Quarterly Update Q4FY25

We revise our rating from BUY to HOLD, as we see limited upside from the CMP

Stable margins and strong fees led to City Union Bank’s steady operating performance. Overall profitability was strong, with RoA coming at 1.53%. Ahead, we expect net slippages to be negative since most of the stress has been recognised. The focus now shifts to business growth.

We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock

We upgrade our rating to BUY from HOLD earlier.
