Achanak profit mein kaise aayi ICICI Bank?
Toh suno, ICICI Bank ne Q4 FY26 mein ₹13,702 crore ka standalone net profit kamaya, jo YoY base par 8.5% increase hai. Iske peeche main reason raha net interest income (NII) ka 8.4% badhna, jo ₹22,979 crore pahunch gaya. Bank ka loan book bhi 15.8% grow hua hai, mast!
Asset quality ki baat karein toh Gross NPA sirf 1.40% hai aur Net NPA toh 0.33% pe hai, yani ekdum solid. Ye sab dekh kar LKP Research toh full confident hai, unhone 'Buy' rating rakhi hai aur target price ₹1,730 set kiya hai. Stock apne 52-week range ₹1,187.60 se ₹1,500.00 ke beech mein ghuma hai.
Valuation aur Analyston ki Rai
Valuation ki baat karein toh P/E ratio lagbhag 18.4x hai. Ye HDFC Bank (around 17-19x) aur Axis Bank (around 14-16x) ke aas paas hai, par banking sector ke average (12.6x over 5 years) se upar hai. Ab analyst log bhi thode confused hain. LKP aur Prabhudas Lilladher toh 'Buy' bol rahe hain, lekin GuruFocus keh raha hai 'Significantly Overvalued' aur MarketBeat bol raha hai 'Reduce'. Wahi, TradingView aur Investing.com wale 40 analyst milakar 'Strong Buy' bol rahe hain, target ₹1,610 se ₹1,665 ke beech mein.
Geopolitics aur Sector Stress ka Impact
Ab aata hai sabse important point - West Asia mein jo tensions chal rahi hain, uska kya impact hoga? Rating agency CRISIL keh rahi hai ki bank sector par zyada asar nahi hoga, par MSME sector mein thoda stress aa sakta hai. Indian banks mein MSME NPAs thoda badh sakte hain. Bank ne bhi mana hai ki Q4 results mein yields aur currency par immediate impact dikha hai.
Risks Aur Future Outlook
Bhai, results toh achhe hain, broker ne target bhi badha diya, par kuch reasons hain cautious hone ke. GuruFocus ka 'Significantly Overvalued' wala point pakdo. Analyst ratings mein bhi itna difference hai, matlab consensus nahi hai. RoA 2.3% aur RoE 16.1% FY28 tak ke projections hain, par ye sab manage karna padega.
West Asia conflict se MSME portfolio par risk hai, agar ye lamba chala toh NPAs badh sakte hain. EY kehti hai ki supply chain disruptions aur costs badhne se margins par pressure aa sakta hai.
Pichhle saal EPS growth 7.6% tha, jo 5-year average 22.7% se kam hai, yani ab slow growth ho sakta hai. Bank abhi bhi retail, rural, aur business banking par focus kar raha hai loan growth ke liye. Management keh raha hai ki margins stable rahenge aur deposit repricing ho chuka hai. Strong capital aur liquidity toh hai hi.
LKP ka target ₹1,730 dikhata hai ki upside hai, par ye sab risks ko dhyan mein rakhte hue.
