in FY26
1.1%

Federal Bank's buy rating was upgraded by Axis Securities due to its NIM expansion strategy. Analysts project Return on Assets (RoA) of 1.3-1.4% by FY27-28, up from 1.1% in FY26, supported by healthy credit growth. However, rising funding costs may pressure margins, complicating the outlook for lending yields.
