FB saw a soft quarter due to weaker NII/NIM and asset quality. Agri/MFI stress led to GNPA blip (provisions at 69bps vs avg. 40-45bps). Additional stress may be lower, though credit costs may remain elevated in Q2'26 due to lag effect. While FB is undergoing transition due to focus on improving asset-liability mix, there could be short term challenges due to NIM pressure and elevated credit costs.
