Axis Bank Q3 Results Live Updates: Shreyansh V.Shah, Research Analyst, StoxBox shares his view
We expect Axis Bank to report good set of numbers in Q3FY24. Though the bank is likely to report NIM deterioration both sequentially and annually due to high cost of funds, the high yield account from the CITI merger will partially offset the margin compression by 15-20bps. Furthermore, the bank’s asset quality is set to improve further as most of the one-offs have been accounted in H1FY24, and the bank’s promptness in providing for additional provisions. We are optimistic that Axis Bank is poised to come out with healthy growth across all the financial parameters in Q3FY23.
