Result Update: Aptus Value Housing Finance | 4QFY25 Results Update: Strong quarter
“Aptus reported a strong PAT of INR 2.1bn (+26%/+9% YoY/QoQ) which was 6% above our estimates leading to RoA/RoE of 7.6%/20%. This was led by a) steady NII growth (+19%/+3% YoY/QoQ, -3% JMFe) as NIMs (calc.) declined -29bps QoQ, b) higher other income (+80%/+93% YoY/QoQ), and c) lower than expected opex (+21%/+11% YoY/QoQ). AUM growth remained strong at (+25%/+6% YoY/QoQ) driven by disbursements growth of (+10%/+14% YoY/QoQ). GS3/NS3 improved by ~8/6bps QoQ and PCR was sequentially flat at 25% with credit cost of ~30bps. FY26 guidance remains strong at 28-30% AUM growth, improving spreads, opex/assets of 2.6-2.7% and credit costs of 40-45bps. We believe that: a) sustained growth momentum led by branch expansion and higher ATS, b) increased focus on high yielding SBL, complementing its existing HL portfolio, c) improving operational efficiencies, and d) healthy asset quality, will continue to offer compelling return ratios going forward. We maintain BUY with a revised TP of INR 370 (valuing at an unchanged target multiple of 3.2x FY27E BVPS) in return for avg RoA/RoEs of 7%/20% over FY26E/FY27E,” commented Ajit Kumar of JM Financial Institutional Securities.

Result Update: Bank of Baroda | 4QFY25 Result Update: Weak quarter
“Bank of Baroda (BOB) reported a weak quarter, though PAT came in ahead of estimates (+3% YoY, +4% QoQ, +17% JMFe) primarily led by non-interest income (+25% YoY, +38% QoQ). However, core performance was subdued, with NII declining (-7% YoY, -4% QoQ) as margins compressed sharply by -17bps QoQ. On business front, loan growth remained healthy (+13% YoY) while deposit growth was stable at (+11% YoY). Mgmt. guides for credit growth of 11-13% and deposit growth of 9-11% for FY26. Gross slippages/net slippages increased marginally to 1.1%/0.4% (+6/3bps QoQ) primarily led by MSME and agri sectors. Credit costs inched up to 0.53% (vs 0.38% QoQ). As liquidity conditions improve, bank's ability to protect margins while driving growth will be a crucial factor to monitor. While there is limited room for margin expansion and recoveries from previously written-off accounts have largely plateaued, current valuations at 0.7x FY27E BVPS remain attractive, offering favourable risk-reward despite the near term headwinds. We expect avg. RoA/ROE of ~1%/12.6% over FY26E/ 27E. Maintain BUY with a TP of INR 250 (valuing core bank at 0.7x FY27E BVPS),” said Ajit Kumar of JM Financial Institutional Securities Limited.

President Trump Keeps Fed Guessing
"Fed walked on the expected lines and kept interest rates unchanged. There wasn't any major surprise element except for the fact that even the Fed is guessing what will be President Trump's next move. Fed followed a wait and watch approach and decided to see the impact of the policy measures which have been announced so far and likely to be announced going forward on inflation which remains elevated. It seems that interest rates are likely to remain steady atleast for next six months as Fed awaits for further data," said Mr. Apurva Sheth, Head of Market Perspectives and Research , SAMCO Securities.

Market Outlook Today By Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
Uncertainty regarding the extent of an expected face-saving response from Pakistan to India’s Operation Sindoor will weigh on markets. From the market perspective, it is important that the conflict should not escalate. An escalation, apart from other fall outs, will also impact India’s fiscal consolidation drive. If the MPC is to continue with rate cuts, fiscal consolidation is important.
The Fed chief Jerome Powell’s observation yesterday that “ risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen” and that “ we think we can be patient “ is a clear message that the Fed chief will not accommodate President Trump’s demand for rate cuts. The Fed’s action will be data dependent. A US-UK trade deal appears likely today, and this can be seen as the beginning of trade deals between US and other countries.
In the current context of uncertainty investors may wait and watch the developments on the India-Pak tensions.

Nifty Outlook Today By Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited
A break down was averted, which encouraged a quick bounce and positive close, with more than 50% of Nifty 50 constituents closing above the previous day's VWAP. But with only 20% of them pushing above previous day's high, momentum is clearly missing. A "buy on dips" approach is preferred today, but with cautious eyes on 24280, below which vulnerability is expected to set in. In the event of a sharp crack down, we expect 24050-23930 to provide a window for Nifty to consolidate and avoid a collapse to 23670-460 region. Alternatively, direct rise past 24600 would clear path for 24770-850.

Market Live: What Is Driving Market?
As Asian equities are trading in the green mirroring overnight gains in the US markets, domestic equity indices too could see a steady positive start in the backdrop of the ongoing Indo-Pak tensions. However, the street will react to Jerome Powell's statement on higher tariffs post Fed's decisions to keep interest rates unchanged. The street will now hope for some fruitful trade discussions between the US and China when they meet this weekend. Technically, Nifty’s biggest support is seen only at 24171 mark: Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
