Axis Bank reported a miss on profitability metrics after factoring Rs 8 billion benefit from recovery/write-back on principal portion of govt guaranteed SRs. Margins at 3.97% (+4bps) benefited from lower interest reversals, and yield benefited from focus on high Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital products. Loan growth was muted at 2.5% QoQ (8% YoY), though deposits growth strengthened to 7% QoQ (10% YoY).
