Executive Summary

Canara Bank dominates the filings with FY26 audited results showing standalone net profit up 12.7% YoY to ₹19,187 Cr, driven by 7.8% YoY total income growth and GNPA ratio improving sharply to 1.84% from 2.94%, alongside a recommended 210% dividend (₹4.20/share) and CAR up to 17.04%; however, Q4 profit fell 10% YoY and wholesale banking losses worsened to ₹1,643 Cr.

Yes Bank received a Moody's upgrade to Ba1/Ba2 (stable), reflecting GNPL at 1.3%, CET1 at 13.8%, and retail deposits at 53%, though profitability lags peers at 0.7% net income to assets. AU Small Finance Bank confirmed timely debt interest payment, while SBI and Canara filings include neutral governance updates and earnings call. Sector-wide, asset quality trends strongly positive (GNPA/NPL ratios declining across 2/3 key banks), but profitability mixed with Q4 weakness at Canara and ongoing peer lags at Yes Bank. Capital allocation favors dividends (Canara 210%), with forward catalysts like provisioning normalization (Yes Bank pre-ECL Apr 2027) and AGMs. Portfolio implication: overweight improving PSBs like Canara for dividend yield and NPA cleanup, monitor private banks like Yes for rating momentum.
