Axis Bank share price dipped by ₹8.20 or 0.74% to ₹1,104.90 in early trade on April 28. The move follows the bank’s release of robust Q4 FY25 results that beat street estimates on profitability but left room for debate on margin trajectory and asset quality stability.

- Market Cap: ₹3.47 lakh crore

- Net Interest Margin (NIM): 4.02%
- Gross NPA: 1.44% vs 2.02% YoY

The earnings were positively received, but management commentary on cost pressures and deposit competition tempered aggressive bullishness.
