Axis Bank is set to set to release its results for the fourth quarter of FY25 as well as declare a dividend for the fiscal year. India's third largest private lender is expected to post a muted performance for the January-March quarter (Q4FY25), owing to sluggish loan growth and subdued margins.
So, what should investors expect? According to Moneycontrol poll, Axis Bank’s net interest income (NII) is expected to show a modest increase of 6.1 percent year-on-year, reaching Rs 13,894 crore in Q4FY25, up from Rs 13,089 crore in the same quarter last year. However, the bank’s profit-after-tax (PAT) is likely to drop by 6 percent year-on-year, falling to Rs 6,710 crore from Rs 7,130 crore.
Axis Bank shareholders eye final dividend payout
Beyond the earnings, investor attention will also be on dividend payouts. The company had last paid a final dividend of Rs 1 per equity share in July 2024 for the financial year 2024. Axis Bank shares currently have a dividend yield of 0.79 percent.
Fund raising on the cards?
While intimating exchanges about its Q4 result announcement schedule, Axis Bank had said that its board will also consider and approve the raising of funds through several instruments including a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), issuance of bonds and non-convertible debentures or more. This will be subject to shareholders' approval.
Where to find Axis Bank Q4 results?
The results of India’s third largest private lender will be available on stock exchanges BSE and NSE today. After the bank releases in Q4 results, its management will meet members of the press and answer queries regarding the board's decisions. Later after 6 pm, the bank will conduct its earnings call with shareholders.
Axis Bank shares in focus
Axis Bank shares closed 0.89 percent lower at Rs 1,206 apiece in the previous trading session (April 23), a day ahead of the results. The stock has so far risen over 7.4 percent in the past five days, and nearly 10 percent in the past one month.
