For the banking sector, brokerage Anand Rathi expects NIMs to remain broadly stable QoQ with lower cost of funds and increase in Credit-Deposit ratio (CD ratio) offsetting yield pressure. The brokerage sees stable asset quality trends on YoY/QOQ basis for the banking sector.

It has a hold call on HDFC Bank with a price target of Rs 949. The lender is likely to report a 6.9% rise in profit after tax to Rs 18,840.3 crore. Profit may grow 1% on a sequential basis, says Anand Rathi. 

NII may rise 4.9% y-o-y to Rs 33,624 crore and 3.1% on a quarter on quarter basis in Q4. 

Axis Direct expects NII to rise 5.5% to Rs 33,835 crore form Rs 32,066 crore a year earlier. Net profit, Axis says, may rise 10.3% to Rs 19,428 crore on a year on year basis. 

Pre-provision operating profit may surge 7% to Rs 28,352 crore. The brokerage expects NIMs to remain broadly stable on a QoQ basis. 

Healthy fee income growth and modest operating expenditure growth could offset the drag from lower treasury income.
