ICICI Bank shares jump nearly 2% as Q1 profit rises 15.4% YoY to Rs 12,768 crore, beats estimates
Net Interest Income (NII)—the bank's key revenue driver—rose 10.6% year-on-year to ₹21,635 crore, topping CNBC-TV18's estimate of ₹20,923 crore. Net profit came in at ₹12,768 crore, up 15.4% from the year-ago period, and significantly higher than the expected ₹11,747 crore.
Asset quality remained steady. The gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio was flat at 1.67%, while net NPA inched up slightly to 0.41% from 0.39% in the previous quarter. Provisions, however, saw a notable jump to ₹1,814 crore compared to ₹890 crore in Q4.
On the business front, the bank saw robust loan growth. Total advances rose 11.5% YoY and 1.7% sequentially to ₹13.64 lakh crore. Retail loans, which make up over half the portfolio, grew nearly 7%, while business banking loans shot up close to 30% YoY. Rural lending, however, saw a dip.
Deposits were also healthy, rising 12.8% YoY to ₹16.08 lakh crore. Average deposits grew 11.2% during the quarter. The bank continued to expand its footprint, adding 83 branches and taking the total count to 7,066, with over 13,000 ATMs across the country.
On the asset quality side, ICICI Bank reported gross slippages of ₹6,245 crore, with net additions at ₹3,034 crore after accounting for recoveries and upgrades. Bad loan write-offs stood at ₹2,359 crore, while the provision coverage ratio remained strong at 75.3%.

Even many high-earning Americans don't feel wealthy. Here's why
About 14% of all U.S. households make $200,000 or more per year, according to 2023 Census data. But a significant salary hasn't translated to big account balances for some of these consumers — which experts have dubbed "HENRYs," or "high earners, not rich yet." Rising costs, debt and lifestyle creep can leave them feeling stuck, experts say. Nearly two-thirds, or 62%, of people with salaries over $300,000 a year struggle with credit card debt, a new survey from BHG Financial found. Other reports have found many six-figure earners still live paycheck to paycheck. "Earning doesn't actually make you feel rich; spending it does," said Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist. "If most people spent 99% of their paycheck, they'd feel quite rich. And it's the paradox here. When we're in accumulation mode, it's very difficult to feel rich."

The more money people earn, the more they say they need to feel comfortable. Americans making under $50,000 said they needed an average $157,000 a year to live comfortably, while those making at least $100,000 said they would need $246,000. Marie Incontrera, 39, worked as a professional composer, bandleader and pianist before launching her virtual assistant business in 2016. She then expanded her business during the pandemic into a digital marketing consulting agency. The career pivot has multiplied her income. Incontrera anticipates her business' revenue for 2025 to be around $1.4 million. She expects to take an owner's draw of $300,000 to $400,000 this year. "I had a pretty successful career as a musician through most of my 20s," Incontrera told CNBC. "But the thing they don't tell you about having a career as a musician in music school is that you can be playing Carnegie Hall, which I was, and I was making $15,000 a year." Despite her income going from $15,000 to $300,000 per year, Incontrera still doesn't feel rich. "I would have thought back then that the amount of money that I have in the bank right now, I would be rich, right? I would have just thought, 'Oh, yeah, she's made it' ... and I don't feel that way," she said. "I have more money anxiety, almost, now than I ever did in my 20s." "I feel very lucky. I feel privileged, but I do not feel rich," Incontrera said. "I know that I am on a hamster wheel with my business. I actually really love the hamster wheel. I love what I do, but I also realize that I can't stop." That's not unusual, experts say. "It can be pretty easy for someone to feel like, I'm making really good money, but I don't have a lot of discretionary income," said Kamila Elliott, CEO of wealth management firm Collective Wealth Partners in Atlanta, and member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council. "One of the things I focus on with my clients is a budget should be a representation of your values," Elliott said. "The issue is you can't value everything ... You have to pick maybe one or two things where you're going to focus your discretionary spending and then take that extra and reroute that to savings so you can start feeling rich."

$4,000 Is Ethereum's Last Hurdle Before Price Discovery, Says Galaxy Digital's Mike Novogratz
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Michael Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital on Thursday said Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) has a chance to outperform Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) over the next three to six months as institutional capital begins to rotate deeper into Ethereum. What Happened: The remarks came during an interview with CNBC, where Novogratz discussed macroeconomic tailwinds and capital inflows driving momentum in the crypto market. Galaxy's bullish stance on Ethereum is also evident in its onchain activity. Trending: Be part of the breakthrough that could replace plastic as we know it— According to blockchain intelligence platform Arkham, Galaxy Digital currently holds over 52,000 ETH valued at approximately $193.95 million, making it the firm's second-largest crypto position after Bitcoin. "If ETH takes out 4,000, it goes into price discovery," Novogratz said. "The market was really short ETH, and now we have major treasury companies raising capital and buying Ether. There's not a lot of supply." Why It Matters: Bitcoin remains the largest holding in Galaxy's crypto portfolio at over 13,500 BTC, worth $1.57 billion, followed by 328,959 Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) worth roughly $59.3 million. Other holdings include stablecoins like USDC (CRYPTO: USDC) and USDT (CRYPTO: USDT), and real-world asset tokens like Sonic (CRYPTO: S). Galaxy's total visible crypto portfolio value sits just below $1.9 billion, Arkham data shows. That figure has surged alongside Bitcoin's rise above $115,000 and Ethereum's rally toward the $4,000 noted that the broader macro environment, defined by political pressure on the Fed to lower rates and a global reflation push from countries like China, has created a tailwind for 'inflation trades' like gold, silver, and crypto assets. "We're in price discovery in many of these markets," Novogratz said. "Bitcoin could easily reach $130K to $150K, but Ether's supply dynamics and growing adoption make it compelling." Galaxy's ETH holdings support this outlook. The fund has added significantly to its Ethereum position during the past two quarters, according to Arkham's historical balance chart, with an observable increase in mid-2024. The broader Ethereum ecosystem has seen renewed interest with the rise of ETH-based treasuries, staking products, and upcoming scalability upgrades. With ETF applications pending and layer-2 activity rising, institutional ETH accumulation is expected to continue. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets?
