Jana Small Finance Bank share price rose over 6% and touched a 52-week high after the lender reported a 52% jump in Q1 FY27 profit. Strong deposit growth, a 33% rise in net interest income, improving asset quality and an upbeat FY27 outlook supported investor sentiment.
Jana Small Finance Bank shares rose more than 6 per cent in early trade on Thursday after the lender reported strong Q1 FY27 results. Following the earnings announcement, the stock climbed to its highest level in the last 52 weeks.
Net profit, net interest income, deposits and secured assets all reported strong year-on-year growth. The management also shared an optimistic outlook for FY27.
The bank’s standalone net profit rose 52.29% year-on-year to ₹155.23 crore from ₹101.93 crore in the same quarter last year. The sharp rise in earnings was largely supported by healthy growth in net interest income.
Lending interest earned increased 22.04% year-on-year to ₹1,514.53 crore from ₹1,240.65 crore, while Net Interest Income (NII) surged 33% YoY to ₹782 crore.
Total deposits stood at ₹35,756 crore, while CASA deposits reached ₹6,871 crore. CASA deposits grew 31% compared to the same period last year, while the overall deposit book registered 22% growth.
The bank also continued to improve its asset quality. Gross NPA declined to 2.39% from 2.46% in the previous quarter. Net NPA also improved marginally to 0.91% from 0.92%. Both indicators remained stable despite concerns around delinquencies in the unsecured lending segment.
On the lending side, total assets grew 26% year-on-year. Secured assets expanded by 29%, highlighting the bank's continued focus on building a secured loan portfolio.
The management maintained a positive outlook for the current financial year. The lender expects deposit growth of around 23% to 25% during FY27. It has also guided for profit after tax growth of more than 80% for the year.
The bank also added eight new branches during the quarter as part of its branch expansion plan for FY27.
Following the result announcement, the stock opened in the green at ₹502, which was a 2.68% increase from the previous close of ₹488.90. Buying interest picked up in the session, and the stock made an intraday high of ₹521.05, which translates to a growth of 6.58% over its previous closing price.
The year-to-date performance has also been decent. It has soared over 8% in 2026 so far. In the last year, the stock has delivered flat returns of over 2%.
