ICICI Bank has announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26, revealing a net profit of ₹13,701 crore. This represents a rise of over 8% compared to the same quarter from the previous year. The bank's net interest income (NII) also saw an increase of 1.99%, reaching ₹43,275 crore, up from ₹42,430 crore year-on-year.

The board of directors has proposed a dividend of ₹12 per equity share with a face value of ₹2, pending approval from shareholders. The announcement, made on April 18, 2026, indicates that eligible shareholders will receive this dividend based on a 'record date' to be determined.

In its financial results, ICICI Bank noted a slight decrease in its retail banking revenue, which fell to ₹40,608 crore from ₹40,617 crore. However, this was offset by a strong performance in wholesale banking, which experienced a revenue increase of 7.3%, amounting to ₹23,115 crore.

Furthermore, the bank reported a reduction in its non-performing assets (NPA), which decreased by 27 basis points to 1.40%, down from 1.67% in the same quarter last year. The bank's provisioning for bad debts also saw a significant drop, plunging 89% to ₹96.16 crore from ₹890.70 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.

As for the bank’s share performance, ICICI Bank's stock closed slightly higher at ₹1,346.80, up by 0.10% from ₹1,345.50 at the previous market close. Despite the solid long-term performance and over 138% returns over five years, the stock has experienced a 3.8% decline over the past year. However, it has seen a gain of about 1% in 2026 and nearly 5% over the past month.

The bank's shares hit a 52-week high of ₹1,500 on July 25, 2025, and the low for the same period was ₹1,187.60 on April 2, 2026. As of April 17, 2026, ICICI Bank's market capitalisation stood at over ₹9.68 lakh crore.
