ICICI Bank is expected to report a steady performance in the December quarter, with analysts forecasting up to 7.5 percent year-on-year growth in profit after tax.
The growth is likely to be driven by healthy loan expansion, especially in retail and small business segments. Net interest income is estimated to rise around 6–8 percent, supported by strong credit demand.
Net interest margins are expected to remain largely stable despite pressure from funding costs. Market participants will closely track asset quality, fee income and provisioning trends when the bank announces its Q3 results.
