Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results missed consensus on the bottom line despite a solid top-line beat. Diluted EPS of $0.75 missed the $0.79 mean estimate, while total interest income of $175.3M outperformed the $123.5M consensus significantly. The variance was primarily driven by higher-than-expected credit loss provisions ($13.9M) and elevated salary expenses. Net interest margin improved to 3.28% from 2.98% YoY, reflecting effective asset-liability management in a volatile rate environment.
