AU Small Finance Bank stock stood at INR 1,053 on the NSE on September 23, 2026, up 1.60 percent on the session. The bank's scheduled analyst and investor meeting on September 24 adds a near-term corporate checkpoint after a 37 percent increase in Q1 FY27 profit.
Profit rises 37 percent
According to AU Small Finance Bank, profit after tax reached INR 796 crore in Q1 FY27, up 37 percent year over year. Net interest margin was 5.9 percent, an increase of 47 basis points from the year-earlier period.
The operating base also expanded in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Total deposits increased 24 percent year over year to INR 157,727 crore, while the gross loan portfolio grew 23 percent to INR 144,250 crore.
Investor meeting sets next checkpoint
AU Small Finance Bank will hold a physical group meeting with analysts and investors in Mumbai on September 24, 2026, according to Sahi. The timing places attention on deposit growth, credit expansion and the bank's transition toward a universal banking model.
Asset quality remains a measurable counterweight to the growth figures. The June 2026 gross non-performing asset ratio was 2.10 percent, while the net ratio was 0.76 percent and the capital adequacy ratio stood at 18.9 percent, according to the bank's investor information.
Target stands above market price
ICICI Securities maintained an INR 1,250 price target in a report dated September 4, 2026, as reported by Moneycontrol. That target is 18.7 percent above the September 23 price of INR 1,053, making the September 24 discussion relevant to how management frames growth and funding costs.
