Bandhan Bank shares fell after quarterly results showed an 88% year-on-year profit slump driven by sharply higher provisions. Operating profit declined and credit costs surged, offsetting moderate loan growth. Provision coverage stood near 74%, while secured advances rose, improving portfolio mix composition. Investors worry about margin compression and asset-quality volatility persisting. Analysts expect commentary on collections, slippages, and capital buffers to guide the outlook. Peers may face sentiment spill-over, favouring lenders with stable funding, diversified books, and disciplined risk controls into the December quarter and beyond.
