Bandhan Bank Crashes Nearly 19%: Profit Jumps, But Guidance Shock Triggers Sell-Off

As on 22 July 2026

shares plunged as much as 18.80% intraday and ended sharply lower after management lowered its FY27 return-on-assets (ROA) guidance. The lender now expects ROA of 1.2%-1.4% by FY27-end, below its earlier aspiration of 1.6%-1.8%, citing external challenges, pressure on net interest margins (NIMs), and higher operating expenses. The sharp fall came despite a strong Q1 FY27 performance, with net profit rising 35% YoY to ₹502 crore. Notably, today marked the fifth straight negative close for the stock. Just last week, Bandhan Bank hit a fresh 52-week high, but the stock has since declined 23.19% from its peak, reflecting investor concerns over future profitability and margin pressure. 📌 Disclaimer: This content is for information only and not investment advice.
