Private banks – profit after tax to grow ~32% YoY in Q1 FY24We estimate private banks to report PPoP growth of ~31% YoY (flat QoQ) and profit after tax growth of ~32% YoY (-4.8% QoQ) in Q1 FY24. Earnings should remain steady, aided by healthy business growth and benign credit costs, but margin pressure and elevated opex may affect the overall growth trajectory. Margins may moderate for select banks, due to the rising cost of deposits and stagnating yields. However, healthy loan growth will continue to aid net interest income.
