ICICI Bank stocks are continuing to enjoy strong speculation in the brokerages, with them remaining optimistic about the future of the bank. BNP Paribas Securities noted that the bank’s balance sheet was robust, owing to the excess provisioning and healthy capitalization. The bank’s high CASA ratio provides the bank’s funding cost benefit. It can gain market share in prime categories. BNP Paribas fixed its target price at ₹1,860 with ‘Buy’ sentiment.

Other brokerages echoed similar sentiments. PL Capital upped loan CAGR for FY26-28E to 14%, driven by better loan growth in the second half of CY26. The firm also revised its bottom-line profits after tax estimates by an average of 3.2%, leaving its ‘Buy’ rating unchanged with a target price higher by ₹1,825. 

Elara Capital said that ICICI Bank’s ‘Buy’ rating stems from steady performance throughout the cycles, positive risk-adjusted returns, and support of an uncompromised subsidiary franchise. It rates ICICI Bank on an SOTP basis to ₹1,783.

Strong fundamentals and growth drivers

ICICI Bank has decent fundamentals. The bank’s CER-1 ratio stood at 16.4%, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was at 126%, while the provision buffer was at 84 basis points. Low credit costs and strong operating metrics have pushed its annualized ROE to over 18%. Analysts say ICICI Bank is active at a 2.3 multiple of its core P/BV ratio by its forward one-year multiple, a conventional range that it trades in at is 17%-18% ROE.

Investment in technology and digital platforms forms an important aspect that helps differentiate ICICI Bank from other banks. The success of the iMobile app is an important factor in this respect. ICICI Bank is known to have established a benchmark among larger PSBs in leveraging technology to improve customer experience and operations, according to analysts. This technological advantage is expected to keep it competitive in the sector.

Brokerages believe the credit growth of large banks and the possibility of a resurgence in India’s capex cycle will make ICICI Bank a beneficiary. Relaxation of the over-provisioning could help to bring in extra income. ICICI Bank is expected to sustain the earnings momentum if it manages asset quality, its growth in segments is a good sign, and its execution is impressive despite the geopolitical uncertainties.

Conclusion

ICICI Bank’s rally of over 3% on Wednesday, along with a satisfactory performance over the last month, has shown investor faith in its fundamentals. Target prices from brokerages have been moved upwards from ₹1,783 to ₹1,860, citing a debit-to-credit ratio above 55%, digital investments and better returns. With the stock near its record high, ICICI Bank remains a favourite choice among the large private banks in the Indian market, and the growth and profitability therefore offer sustained sentiment in the coming years.
