Bank Of Baroda's Q1 FY25 Results Show Strong Growth and Positive Prospects

Bank Of Baroda, one of the leading public banks in India, has recently declared its financial results for the quarter ending June 2024. The stock call for the bank by MarketsMOJO is ‘Buy’, indicating positive prospects for the company.

In the last three months, Bank Of Baroda has shown a significant improvement in its financial performance, with its score rising from 11 to 7. This is a positive sign for the bank and its investors.

One of the key factors contributing to this positive performance is the bank’s low Gross NPA (Non-Performing Assets) ratio, which has been consistently falling in the last five quarters. This shows that the bank is effectively managing its stressed loans and reducing its proportion of non-performing assets.

Another highlight of the bank’s financials is its interest earned, which has been steadily growing in the last five quarters and reached its highest at Rs 29,628.70 crore in the quarter ending June 2024. This indicates a strong sales trend for the bank in the near term.

The bank’s Profit Before Tax less Other Income (PBT) has also shown a significant growth of 41.0% over the average PBT of the previous four quarters. This is a positive trend for the bank’s near term PBT.

In terms of operating profit, Bank Of Baroda has recorded its highest at Rs 4,674.01 crore in the last five quarters, indicating a positive trend in its operating profit. The bank’s CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio) has also been consistently improving and reached its highest at 16.82% in the last five quarters. This shows that the bank’s capital base is strong and its risk assets are well-managed.

However, one area of concern for the bank is its non-operating income, which is 40.44% of its PBT. This indicates that the bank’s income from non-business activities is high, which may not be a sustainable business model in the long run.

Overall, Bank Of Baroda’s financial results for the quarter ending June 2024 have been positive and show promising prospects for the bank. With a ‘Buy’ call from MarketsMOJO, it is a good time for investors to consider adding this largecap public bank to their portfolio.
