Axis Bank share price

Axis Bank’s shares dropped by 7 per cent due to bank’s financial report for the first quarter of FY25. The report highlighted challenges in the unsecured loan segment. Despite stable margins and satisfactory revenue, the disappointing Q1 results led analysts to lower their earnings estimates for the bank by 5-6 per cent. Nuvama Institutional Equities noted that Axis Bank’s Q1 profit met expectations, but its core income fell short. Key concerns included an increasing loan-to-deposit ratio and a significant rise in credit costs.

The brokerage firm reduced its target price for Axis Bank by 5 per cent to Rs 1,430 from Rs 1,500. However, it maintained a ‘Buy’ rating, citing Axis Bank’s trading discount compared to its peers in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector. The brokerage also emphasised the limited investment options available in large-cap BFSI stocks.

Larsen & Toubro’s shares surged a day after the company announced its quarterly earnings for teh June quarter. L&T reported consolidated revenues of Rs 55,120 crore for the first quarter of this fiscal year. The company attributed this growth to strong project execution and manufacturing performance, supported by a large order backlog, according to a statement from Larsen & Toubro.

Brokerage firm JM Financial has recommended buying this stock and set a target price of Rs 3,890 for the next 12 months. This suggests that the stock could rise by more than 10 per cent from its current level.
