The much-anticipated fourth-quarter (Q4) financial results for several leading private banks in India are just around the corner. Investors and market watchers are eagerly awaiting earnings updates from HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, and Yes Bank. Here’s when you can expect to see their Q4 results and what to watch out for.
HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank will be announcing its Q4 FY25 results on April 19, 2025. During this meeting, the bank’s Board of Directors will approve the audited financial results for both standalone and consolidated accounts. Shareholders can also expect discussions regarding dividend recommendations.
ICICI Bank
ICICI Bank will also report its Q4 FY25 results on April 19, 2025. Similar to HDFC Bank, the ICICI Bank Board will meet to approve the financial statements for the quarter and the entire fiscal year, as well as propose any dividend distributions.
IDFC First Bank
IDFC First Bank’s Q4 FY25 results will be released on April 26, 2025. The Board of Directors will meet to approve the audited financial results for both standalone and consolidated accounts. During this meeting, the bank will also discuss key business updates, and the trading window for insiders will remain closed until April 28, 2025, to prevent insider trading.
Yes Bank
Yes Bank will announce its Q4 FY25 results on April 19, 2025. The board will approve the audited financial results for the quarter and the full financial year, along with any recommendations for dividends. The trading window for designated persons will remain closed until April 21, 2025.
Sector Outlook and Market Sentiment
Analysts have a cautious outlook on the banking sector as a whole. They predict a slight dip in Net Interest Margins (NIMs) in the short term, with slower growth in unsecured loans. Earnings growth for Q4 FY25 is estimated at a modest 0.5% year-on-year. However, the sector is expected to see a gradual recovery in earnings starting from FY27.
Investors will be closely monitoring these results, as they are likely to provide insight into how the banking sector is coping with current economic conditions.
