Cost of Funds Pressure: Interest rate risk and deposit pricing are among the variables that influence net interest margins (NIM). If the cost of deposits rises faster than loan revenues, or if a bank offers higher-cost term deposits, NIMs can narrow.
Growth in NPA: The NPA ratio is a key asset quality metric for a bank. An increase in non-performing assets can directly affect the bank’s profitability.
Macroeconomic Risks and Geopolitics: Axis Bank’s participation in international and domestic trade networks means the firm is exposed to broader macroeconomic risk as well as global interest rate conditions that may affect credit demand and foreign institutional investment.
The stock recorded a return of 6.73% over 3 years and 3.06% over 1 year. The banking sector has faced industry-level pressures this year.
The company reported growth in book value and revenue over the last five years. Axis Bank reported a strong performance for Q2 FY27, with net profit surging 38% year-on-year to ₹7,003 crore, driven by robust core operating growth. Net Interest Income (NII) increased by 12% YoY to ₹15,371 crore, yielding a Net Interest Margin (NIM) of 3.36%. The bank witnessed healthy credit expansion, with advances growing 23% YoY and total deposits rising 21% YoY. Asset quality improved notably, with the Gross NPA ratio declining to 1.16% and the Net NPA ratio dropping to 0.35%.
The company’s business includes brand presence, a diversified portfolio, and established distribution channels.
The bank faces interest rate risk and competition for deposits. If the cost of deposits rises above the returns on loans, or if the bank relies on higher-cost deposits to maintain liquidity, the bank’s NIM can be affected.
The NIM for Axis Bank declined over the past three years from 4.07% in FY24 to 3.69% in FY26. This decline occurred alongside increases in revenue and deposits. Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decisions are a factor linked to the bank’s NIM.
Asset quality metrics for the bank were GNPA at 1.23% (down 5 bps YoY) and NNPA at 0.37%.

In return for the payment, Axis Bank acquired a customer portfolio comprising approximately 2.5 million credit card users, deposit balances, and wealth management assets.
