ICICI Bank posts 20% YoY profit rise in Q2 FY27, beats estimates

ICICI Bank reported standalone net profit of ₹14,843 crore for the quarter ended 30 Sept 2026, a 20.1% year‑on‑year increase that topped the LSEG consensus. Net interest income grew 17.7% to ₹25,339 crore, while loan advances expanded 30% YoY (24.1% excluding FCNR(B) lending). The bank’s net interest margin slipped to 4.18% and gross NPA fell to 1.20%, and the board sought RBI approval to extend Chairperson Pradeep Kumar Sinha’s term to Feb 2029.

The profit beat signals strong earnings momentum, but margin compression may limit future profit growth, prompting analysts to watch NIM trends. The RBI chair extension request could affect governance continuity, which investors monitor for stability.
