Bank of Baroda reported a healthy performance in Q2 FY26, led by improved operating performance and pick-up in credit growth.

Bank of Baroda (BOB) reported 2QFY26 PAT of INR48.1b (up 5.9% QoQ, down 8% YoY, 12% beat), aided by NII growth (owing to IT refund of INR7.5b), lower provisions and contained opex growth.

BoB delivered a healthy financial performance, driven by its strong business model and focus on sustainable growth, although margins have been under pressure for the industry as a whole due to reported cuts and lag in deposit pricing. Profitability is on a sustainable path, with a strong book that has earnings potential, despite the impact of transition on asset liability. To capitalise on the trend, the bank is focusing on expanding fee income streams and improving asset quality. The next...

We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock based on reasonable valuations.

BOB saw a weak quarter yet again as core PPoP adjusted for IT refund was 12.4% lower to PLe due to (1) miss on NIM by 8bps led by softer reported yields on loans and investments (2) weaker fee income and (3) higher opex led by other opex. Fall in reported NIM at 6-7bps QoQ was lower to peers (11-18bps decline). NIM may remain under pressure in Q2FY26 due to lead-lag impact of repo rate cut on loans/deposits. However, bank expects 70% of deposits to reprice within 1-2 quarters suggesting that NIM would start improving since...

Q1FY26 numbers were decent on low expectations. Net interest income (NII) at Rs. 11,435 crore (above estimates) down by 1% y-o-y/q-o-q each.

Q4FY25 numbers were weak as core operating performance was weak while asset quality trends improved mainly led by higher write off. Net interest income (NII) at Rs. 11,020 crore (below estimates) down by 7% y-o-y/ 3% q-o-q.

We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock at reasonable valuations.

Bank of Baroda (BoB) reported healthy credit growth at 13% YoY. However, the sharp and constant decline in NIM (by 8bps QoQ) to 2.86% (due to lower loan yields) and the higher provisions were the upsets during 4Q.

BOB saw a weak quarter with core PPoP miss of 7.3% as NII/NIM was 6.1% below PLe. Margins remain under pressure; while reported domestic NIM fell by 9bps QoQ, full year NIM for FY25 fell by 16bps YoY to 3.02% due to 24bps increase in deposit cost and 13bps fall in loan yields. In our view, the fall in yields was likely due to preference for growth over profitability while increase in funding cost was driven by reliance on higher cost bulk deposits in FY25. Bank expects NIM to remain under pressure in Q1FY26, post which it may improve....

BOB reported a mixed performance in Q3FY25 as core operating performance was weak while asset quality trends were stable. Net interest income (NII) at Rs. 11,417 crore (below estimates) grew by 3% y-o-y/ down 2% q-o-q.

Decent core operating performance and modest provisioning (~40bps) led to the Bank of Baroda’s strong profitability in Q3, its RoA coming at 1.15%. Asset quality improved.

We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock on attractive valuations

Bank of Baroda (BoB) reported strong PAT beat at Rs52bn/RoA of 1.3%, mainly due to higher other income (led by treasury gains and recovery in TWO accounts), and partly offset by higher provisions (including contingent provisions).

Earnings significantly above estimates, grew by 23% y-o-y mainly driven by higher recoveries from written off accounts leading to higher RoA at 1.3%. Sustainable RoA trajectory remains at 1-1.1% for the bank.
