Today, January 17, 2026, marks a pivotal day in the Indian financial calendar as several prominent banks, including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank, and IDBI Bank, are scheduled to announce their third-quarter financial results for the fiscal year 2025-26. These Q3 FY26 earnings correspond to the October-December 2025 period, and their release is a highly anticipated event for investors and market analysts. HDFC Bank, India's largest private sector lender, is expected to present its Q3 FY26 performance today. Brokerage firms anticipate steady core operating results, supported by moderate loan growth and broadly stable net interest margins (NIMs). Key areas of focus will include the bank's deposit traction and management's commentary on its margin trajectory. Similarly, ICICI Bank is poised to unveil its Q3 FY26 financial results, with earnings calls scheduled for today to discuss the performance for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. Analysts predict a steady quarter for ICICI Bank, driven by consistent loan and deposit growth, along with potentially improving NIMs. Yes Bank is also set to declare its Q3 FY26 earnings on Saturday, January 17, 2026. While some brokerages forecast strong recovery and growth in profit after tax and net interest income, others present more subdued projections, highlighting divergent views on the bank's recovery pace. IDBI Bank's board of directors is convening today to consider and approve its Q3 FY26 financial results. This follows regulatory filings confirming the board meeting for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The broader Q3 earnings season has commenced, with more than 20 companies expected to release their results today. Beyond the mentioned banks, others like JK Cement, RBL Bank, and Punjab & Sind Bank are also on the list. Investors will be scrutinizing these results for insights into credit momentum, asset quality trends, and overall profitability across the banking sector amidst the current economic landscape.
