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%.

Kotak Mahindra Bank shares drop over 5% after Q1 profit falls 47.5% YoY to Rs 3,282 crore, GNPA at 1.48% vs 1.39% QoQ
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 09:18 IST Kotak Mahindra Bank shares tumbled over 5% on Monday after the private lender posted a sharp 47.5% year-on-year (YoY) drop in net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1 FY26). As of 9:16 AM, the shares were trading 5.18% lower at Rs 2,014.50. The bank reported a consolidated profit of ₹3,281.68 crore for the quarter, down from ₹6,249.82 crore in Q1 FY25, largely due to the absence of a one-time exceptional gain of ₹3,519.90 crore recorded in the same quarter last year. Despite the profit decline, core business metrics remained steady. Net Interest Income (NII) rose 6% YoY to ₹7,259 crore, reflecting healthy lending activity and stable margins. Total income for the quarter stood at ₹16,916 crore, up from ₹15,675 crore a year ago. Operating profit before provisions grew to ₹5,563.69 crore from ₹5,254.11 crore YoY. However, higher provisions and contingencies, which surged to ₹1,207.76 crore from ₹578.48 crore YoY, weighed on overall profitability. Asset quality showed a slight deterioration sequentially. Gross NPAs rose to ₹6,637.70 crore (1.48%) from ₹5,477.15 crore (1.39%), while Net NPAs stood at ₹1,530.93 crore (0.34%) versus ₹1,376.33 crore (0.35%) in the previous quarter.

Wall Street's Tom Lee Says This 'Most Hated' Rally Could Be A Fortune-Maker—And Bitcoin at $250K Isn't Out Of Reach
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. When Wall Street veteran Tom Lee speaks, investors listen. As head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, Lee has built a reputation for bold predictions and contrarian calls that often prove prescient. In a recent CNBC interview, the market strategist delivered a compelling case for why current market skepticism could create generational wealth opportunities—and why his eye-popping Bitcoin price target might not be as crazy as it sounds. The Recovery Everyone Loves to Hate Lee describes the market's recent rebound as the 'most hated V-shape bounce in history,' pointing to a critical disconnect between market performance and investor sentiment. During what he calls 'April tariff Armageddon,' fear of recession drove massive liquidations, leaving most investors underexposed when markets staged their dramatic recovery. Don't Miss: Be part of the breakthrough that could replace plastic as we know it— — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. This positioning creates an unusual dynamic: strong fundamentals meeting widespread skepticism. 'Most investors are currently underexposed,' Lee notes, suggesting significant upside potential as sentiment eventually catches up to reality. Why the Market Is Cheaper Than You Think Challenging the narrative that stocks have become dangerously overvalued, Lee presents compelling valuation data. Despite enduring what he characterizes as 'six extinction-like events' over the past six years—including COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, inflation surges, aggressive Fed rate hikes, Trump tariffs, and geopolitical tensions—S&P 500 earnings have actually grown. More surprisingly, the equity-weighted S&P multiple has compressed from approximately 17.6 times in 2019 to 16 times currently. This suggests the market has become cheaper even as earnings demonstrated remarkable resilience through unprecedented challenges. Trending: Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Apple's AI Ace in the Hole While much attention focuses on the 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants, Lee offers a contrarian take on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). He believes the iPhone maker has been 'quietly ready to pounce on AI' and will 'surprise people' with its approach. Drawing parallels to Apple's transformative but late entry into smartphones with the 2007 iPhone launch, Lee suggests that when Apple decides to 'play big in AI,' it will 'change the game.' He emphasizes Apple's competitive advantages in safety, privacy, and user experience optimization—particularly valuable if large language models become commoditized. The strategist also supports speculation around Apple's potential foldable phone launch this fall, noting that larger screens drive users toward 'computing and something much higher capability,' aligning with augmented reality applications in the AI era. The Stablecoin Revolution and Ethereum's Golden Opportunity Lee identifies stablecoins as the 'ChatGPT moment for crypto,' highlighting their growing adoption by businesses, consumers, and major financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Citigroup (NYSE:C). This trend creates significant opportunities for Ethereum, which hosts the majority of stablecoins and generates over 30% of its network fees from this Ethereum approaching a $4 trillion market valuation, Lee sees substantial upside. While technical analysis suggests near-term targets around $5,000, he believes valuation metrics similar to Circle could justify prices between $10,000 and $20,000. The $250K Bitcoin Vision Perhaps Lee's boldest call remains his Bitcoin price target of $200,000 to $250,000, which he maintains 'still makes sense.' His reasoning is straightforward: this would value Bitcoin at just 25% of gold's market size. Looking further ahead, Lee reiterates his belief that Bitcoin 'should be worth over a million per bitcoin' and that this 'could happen in the next few years.' The Bottom Line Lee's message is clear: current market skepticism, combined with resilient fundamentals and emerging technological shifts, creates compelling investment opportunities. Whether through traditional equities trading at compressed multiples, Apple's potential AI breakthrough, or cryptocurrency's institutional adoption wave, patient investors willing to look past short-term noise may find themselves positioned for significant gains. As Lee emphasizes, his goal at Fundstrat remains helping clients 'find good ideas and make money'—and his track record suggests these contrarian insights deserve serious consideration.
