Q4 Results Live Updates: HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, YES Bank To Declare Earnings — Dividend Announcements In Focus

ICICI Bank Q4 Results Live: ICICI Bank has announced only a final dividend in the year-end period over the past few years, with no interim dividend during that time. Its recent payout history also shows a steady rise after FY20.

ICICI Bank declared no dividend in FY20. It then announced Rs 2 per share in FY21, Rs 5 in FY22, Rs 8 in FY23, Rs 10 in FY24 and Rs 11 in FY25. The progression has kept market attention on whether FY26 could bring another increase.

ICICI Bank Q4 Results Live: ICICI Bank's dividend announcement is in focus as market estimates point to a possible record payout in more than a decade. Bloomberg estimates for FY26 peg the expected dividend at Rs 11.7 per share. 

If the lender declares that amount, it would be its highest dividend in 12 years, based on the historical data. The final number, however, may vary sharply from current projections.

Bloomberg estimates show the highest forecast at Rs 13.98 per share, while the lowest stands at Rs 9.5 per share. The range signals differing expectations ahead of the year-end decision. Read More Here

ICICI Bank Q4 Results Live: The focus this quarter will be whether ICICI Bank can sustain strong retail and small business loan momentum while protecting margins in a competitive rate environment. Investors will also watch if lower slippages and contained credit costs can continue to support returns as growth normalises in FY27.

ICICI Bank Q4 Results Live: ICICI Bank Ltd. is expected to report steady profit in the March quarter despite a sharp rise in provisions, with higher net interest income and improving asset quality helping offset softer net interest margins.

Bloomberg estimates indicate net interest income may rise 7.1% year-on-year, while profit is seen little changed. Provisions are expected to increase 65% from a year earlier. Gross non-performing assets are projected to improve sequentially, while net interest margin is seen moderating from the previous quarter. Read More Here

HDFC Bank Q4 Results Live: For FY25, HDFC Bank announced a dividend of Rs 11 per share against Bloomberg estimates of Rs 10.38 per share.

For FY24, the bank declared Rs 9.75 per share, above estimates of Rs 9.25 per share.

For FY23, the actual dividend stood at Rs 9.5 per share versus estimates of Rs 7.37 per share.

For FY22, the bank paid Rs 7.75 per share, higher than estimates of Rs 5.76 per share.

Earlier years showed a mixed trend. For FY21, the dividend was Rs 3.25 per share against estimates of Rs 5.02 per share.

For FY20, the bank paid Rs 2.5 per share versus estimates of Rs 5.01 per share.

For FY19, the payout was Rs 3.75 per share against estimates of Rs 3.78 per share.

For FY18, the dividend stood at Rs 3.25 per share compared with estimates of Rs 3.28 per share

HDFC Bank Q4 Results Live: HDFC Bank could announce a final dividend of about Rs 8 per share for FY26, based on Bloomberg estimates and after accounting for the Rs 5 per share special dividend already declared during the year. The key question for investors is whether the country's largest private lender will meet that implied expectation or exceed forecasts for a fifth straight fiscal year.

Bloomberg estimates place FY26 dividend expectations at Rs 13.08 per share. With Rs 5 per share already announced as a special dividend, the implied balance payout works out to about Rs 8 per share if the bank matches the consensus estimate.

That has drawn attention because HDFC Bank has beaten Bloomberg dividend estimates in each of the past four fiscals, extending a pattern of payouts above market expectations. Read More Here

HDFC Bank Q4 Results Live: HDFC Bank is expected to report higher profit in the March quarter, supported by growth in net interest income and steady asset quality, even as net interest margins remain under pressure from policy rate transmission. 

Bloomberg estimates indicate net interest income may rise 4.9% year-on-year, while profit is seen up 8%. Provisions are expected to increase 7.9%, while net interest margin is seen moderating to 3.39% from 3.46%. Read More Here
