IDFC First Bank has announced July 11 as the record date for dividend distribution of Re 0.25 for the financial year 2024-25, amounting to Rs 183.1 crore.
The bank reported a decline in standalone net profit to Rs 304 crore for the fourth quarter, attributed to increased provisions, particularly for its stressed microfinance institutions portfolio.
Provisions and contingencies doubled to Rs 1,450.47 crore compared to the previous year, mainly due to higher slippages in the MFI loan book.
The stock of IDFC First Bank closed 0.53% higher at Rs 77.66 apiece, with analysts offering varied ratings, and a potential downside of 4.4% as per Bloomberg data.
