ICICI Bank (532174) Apr 2024 Filing Analysis
Does management do what it says?
The Board has recommended a higher dividend of ₹ 11 per share for the current period (FY2025), surpassing the previous year's recommendation. (1 exceeded across 1 tracked commitment)
“The Board has recommended a dividend of ₹ 10 per share, subject to requisite approvals”
NIM remained range-bound at 4.36% in Q1-2025 compared to 4.40% in Q4-2024, showing stability despite the high-interest rate environment. (5 met across 5 tracked commitments)
“So I guess we could see some further moderation in the NIM, but I would expect it to be pretty range bound from here on for the next few quarters until a rate cut actually happens.”
The bank delivered on its dividend commitment for the previous cycle and has now recommended an increased dividend for FY2025. (1 met across 1 tracked commitment)
“But, in terms of the headcount, I would expect stability to moderate increase from here on.”
Credit costs (provisions/average advances) were 0.43% in Q1-2025, remaining below the 50 bps threshold but showing a slight normalization from 0.24% in the previous quarter. (3 met, 1 in progress, 1 exceeded across 5 tracked commitments)
“I think, if you kind of adjust out one offs or if you take a more adjusted view, we would still be under 50 basis points. That may normalize upwards slightly, but I don't see anything very dramatic there.”
