AU Small Finance Bank (ISIN INE949L01017) reported second-quarter deposits of INR 170,460 crore, up 28.60 percent year over year. The October 24, 2026 results date will test whether that deposit expansion is translating into sustained profitability.

On October 3, 2026, StockFin reported that gross advances reached INR 150,290 crore, up 27.90 percent year over year for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The same filing showed a CASA ratio of 29.50 percent, giving investors a direct measure of the bank's lower-cost deposit base.

The growth figures point to a volume-led expansion, but the next report must show how effectively AU Small Finance Bank converts deposits into loans and earnings. The comparison is already demanding because advances grew 27.90 percent, 0.70 percentage points slower than deposits in the same quarter.

October 24 is the next test

AU Small Finance Bank's first-quarter fiscal 2027 profit after tax was INR 796 crore, up 37.00 percent year over year, according to the bank's investor page dated June 30, 2026. The result established a high benchmark for the quarter ending September 30.

For investors, the key read-through will be the relationship between deposit growth, loan deployment and margins. A larger funding base creates room for balance-sheet growth, while profitability will show whether that expansion is earning an adequate return.

Three recent milestones

On September 30, 2026, AU Small Finance Bank reported INR 170,460 crore in deposits and INR 150,290 crore in gross advances. On October 3, 2026, StockFin published the provisional second-quarter figures with 28.60 percent deposit growth.

On October 12, 2026, StockFin reported that the bank scheduled a conference call for October 24, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST to discuss quarterly and half-year results.

What comes next for earnings

The next scheduled event is the board meeting and results discussion on October 24, 2026. The figures to watch are net interest margin, credit costs and the pace of loan growth relative to deposits.

NSE price sets the reference

AU Small Finance Bank closed at INR 971.70 on the NSE on October 19, 2026. Its 52-week range was INR 491.80 to INR 1,128.60, placing the close 13.90 percent below the high.

The upcoming report therefore arrives after strong balance-sheet growth and a recent share price that remains below its yearly peak.
