Kotak Bank falls over 7% on disappointing Q1 results
Kotak Mahindra Bank
fell over 7% on Monday, their highest single-day fall in 15 months, after the bank's first-quarter results disappointed investors. Analysts see 2-30% upside in the stock from these levels. The stock ended at ₹1,968.7, down 7.3% from Friday. It was the worst performer on the benchmark Nifty, which fell 0.6%. Macquarie has maintained its 'neutral' rating for the stock, and has a target price of ₹2,300. The brokerage said the bank's credit costs were in line with the third-largest private bank and double those of the top two private banks, which is surprising given the bank's historically strong underwriting practices.
Agencies
Kotak shares have declined 9% in the past month, against Nifty Bank's decline of 2.1% in this period.
SBI Securities
estimates the fair value of stock at ₹2,000-₹2,050 over next 12 months and suggests buy-on-dips approach.

"Loan and deposit growth remains steady, and with the embargo on the 811 platform lifted and new product offerings in place, performance is likely to improve from Q3 onwards, provided there are no further rate cuts," said Sunny Agrawal, head of fundamental research at SBI Securities. In February, the RBI had lifted the restriction on opening new bank accounts digitally via Kotak 811 platform, after a ban was imposed in April 2024. Nomura has a 'neutral' rating, with a revised price target of ₹2,150. "Kotak's results in Q1FY26 were soft, led by asset quality deterioration and a sharper decline in NIMs. Slippages and credit costs were elevated at 1.7% and 1.2%, respectively," said brokerage Nomura's analysts.

Samsung Galaxy S26 series leak reveals major changes: Everything we know so far
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup is shaping up to be a significant leap forward for its flagship smartphone series. According to reports, which cited leaks from firmware files and industry insiders, the Galaxy S26 series will bring bold design changes, powerful next-gen chipsets, and a complete rebranding of its model lineup. Samsung is reportedly revamping its naming convention for the Galaxy S26 series. The traditional 'Plus' model could be replaced with a new 'Edge' variant, while the base model might be rebranded as the Galaxy S26 Pro. Firmware references to devices codenamed M1, M2, and M3 suggest that these correspond to the S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra, respectively. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Public Policy Design Thinking Leadership Data Analytics others Data Science Operations Management MBA Management Digital Marketing Artificial Intelligence Technology Finance Others Project Management MCA CXO Degree PGDM Cybersecurity Healthcare Data Science Product Management healthcare Skills you'll gain: Duration: 12 Months IIM Calcutta Executive Programme in Public Policy and Management Starts on undefined Get Details Skills you'll gain: Economics for Public Policy Making Quantitative Techniques Public & Project Finance Law, Health & Urban Development Policy Duration: 12 Months IIM Kozhikode Professional Certificate Programme in Public Policy Management Starts on Mar 3, 2024 Get Details Notably, the "M1" codename was previously used for the entry-level model, but its association with the 'Pro' moniker now signals a shift towards a more premium-centric lineup. The absence of 'M0' or 'M4' codenames further suggests that Samsung may reduce the number of models, possibly dropping the base variant altogether. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to debut with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (PMK8850), delivering up to 4.6GHz CPU speeds and a 1.2GHz GPU, all running on One UI 8.5 based on Android 16. Meanwhile, the S26 Pro and S26 Edge models may feature Samsung's in-house Exynos 2600 SoC, reportedly optimized for better thermal performance and graphical power. One of the standout upgrades is the rumored 60W fast charging support for the S26 Ultra—up from 45W on the S25 Ultra—while retaining a 5,000mAh battery. This was confirmed through firmware analysis shared by tipster @erenylmaz075. Live Events Design-wise, Samsung may push for a sleeker form factor, with the S26 Ultra rumored to measure under 7mm in thickness, making it thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Camera hardware is also expected to receive significant updates. The S26 Ultra might boast a new 200MP telephoto sensor, alongside a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens, and possibly a 324MP main sensor (though that figure may be exaggerated). There's also speculation about a hole-punch-free display for the Ultra, using under-display camera tech—although confidence in that has dipped after Samsung reportedly abandoned it for the Z Fold 7. Samsung is expected to expand its Galaxy AI suite with deeper integrations and potential partnerships, including rumored third-party chatbot support from platforms like Perplexity AI—which Samsung is reportedly considering investing in. Additionally, a new stylus might launch with the S26 Ultra, though it may not be stored inside the device, and could come without traditional digitizer support. Samsung Galaxy S26 Series: Key Takeaways Three variants likely: S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra (Plus model likely dropped). New chipsets: Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Ultra; Exynos 2600 for other models. Faster charging: S26 Ultra could support 60W fast charging. Slimmer design: Ultra model may be under 7mm thick. Improved cameras: Potential new sensors across all models. AI features: Expanded Galaxy AI tools and third-party chatbot support. Expected launch: Early 2026, likely January or February at Galaxy Unpacked. Pricing: No official word yet, but Snapdragon 8 Elite 2's pricing suggests no drastic hike from the S25's $799 starting price. FE variant: A Galaxy S26 FE could still arrive later in the year.

When asked about source of investments, Chandra said, "We have decided to move ahead with the plan as OMC Power has turned profitable. The capacity addition plan will be funded through internal accruals, some portion will come from existing Japanese investors and through debt from financial institutions." As per company information, OMC Power has reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 0.48 crore in Q1 FY26, marking a positive turnaround after several consecutive quarters of losses.
