Axis Bank Posts ₹ 1,683 Crore Profit In September Quarter, Asset Quality Improves

Axis Bank on Wednesday reported a net profit of ₹ 1,682.67 crore in the July-September period, as its asset quality improved. The profit came despite higher provisioning for contingencies. Axis Bank – the country’s third largest private sector lender by market value – had posted a net loss of Rs 112.08 crore in the corresponding period a year ago. In a regulatory filing after market hours, Axis Bank said its net interest income – or the difference between interest earned and interest expended – increased 20 per cent to ₹ 7,326.07 crore.

Its net interest margin – a key measure of profitability – improved to 3.58 per cent in the second quarter of current financial year, from 3.51 per cent in the year-ago period.

Mumbai-based Axis Bank’s asset quality saw a slight improvement with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) as a percentage of total advances at 4.18 per cent in the three-month period ended September 30, as against 4.72 per cent in the previous quarter.

Total gross NPAs – or bad loans – came down to ₹ 26,831.64 crore in the July-September period, from ₹ 29,560 crore in the quarter ended June 30.

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service. By the end of the day, Signal Advance Inc. shares had surged more than sixfold. That was enough to push Signal Advance’s rally more than 5,100% in three trading days giving it a market valuation of $390 million. Despite reports about the confusion on Friday, the stock has continued to rally. Shares of the Rosharon, Texas-based company surged as much as 885% on Monday before paring the gains. “We strongly recommend people do their due diligence and always invest with care,” the company’s chief executive officer, Dr. Chris Hymel, said when reached by phone on Monday. Signal Advance doesn’t have an association with Musk or the Signal app, he said. Signal...
