ICICI Bank’s second-quarter net profit increased 20%, supported by an 18% rise in net interest income, according to the Economic Times Markets headline and summary published on October 18. The reported earnings growth came alongside weaker core profitability.
Net interest margin fell to 4.18%, with FCNR(B) deposits weighing on margins, the summary said. Treasury operations also moved into a loss as government bond yields rose.
Source clarification: The text on the linked publisher page describes HDFC Bank’s results, not ICICI Bank’s. This brief therefore uses only the ICICI-specific headline and summary; the conflicting page text does not corroborate those figures.
