Federal Bank, City Union Bank, DCB Bank and IndusInd Bank may report better NIM movement. Fees might bounce back, growing 6.2% QoQ, to Rs 357 billion (versus -9.0% QoQ), which would be offset by rise in opex to Rs 851 billion (+6.3% QoQ). Core pre-provision operating profit may come in at Rs 868.3 billion (+2.0% QoQ). HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Federal Bank may outperform on core PPoP. Gross slippage ratio might improve by 24 bps QoQ as Q1 usually sees a sharp spike in agri slippages. Banks’ PAT is expected to decline by 1.5% QoQ to Rs 609 billion.
