Commenting on the earnings, Partha Pratim Sengupta, Bandhan Bank’s MD and CEO, said: "Bandhan Bank’s FY 2025–26 performance underscores the strength of our franchise, supported by disciplined execution and a diversifying business model.

The board of directors of Bandhan Bank recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share with a face value of ₹10 each for FY26.
“The Dividend on equity shares will be paid/ dispatched after the same is approved by the shareholders at the ensuing AGM,” it added.
The investment banking firm Macquire noted that Q4 FY26 stood out for Bandan during an otherwise weak year. The bank beat its profit after tax (PAT) estimates, driven by lower credit costs. It also saw its slippages moderate and loan growth pick up pace. Furthermore, a lower borrowing cost supported its NIM expansion. The bank’s management is targeting an ambitious 14-15% growth in loans and a 1.6-1.8% growth in RoA by Q4 FY27, supported by a 10-20 bps NIM expansion, fee income traction, and lower priority sector lending costs.
In a note, analysts at JP Morgan said that while Bandhan Bank’s strategic pivot is underway, and its guidance for 1.6-1.7% RoA growth by FY27 is positive, trends have been very volatile historically. The analysts added that they await more visibility on the sustainability of ongoing recovery, especially in light of ongoing macroeconomic headwinds.
Jefferies noted that Bandhan Bank beat profit estimates, bolstered by lower credit costs and higher fees. Furthermore, credit quality was supported by stability in the microfinance institutions (MFI) sector and trends in election-bound states.
Bandhan Bank has a total market capitalisation of ₹32,275.96 crore as of April 29, 2026 according to data on the NSE.
