Axis Bank Shares: SEBI RA Deepak Pal Recommends Buy-on-Dips Strategy

Axis Bank is on the analysts’ radar after an 18% run-up in the last three months. 

At the time of writing, Axis Bank shares were trading at ₹1,220.2.

SEBI-registered analyst Deepak Pal said Axis Bank is among India’s top three private sector banks, highlighting its capital adequacy ratio of 17.6% and return on equity of 18.3%. 

He said the bank’s CASA ratio stands at 44.4% and noted its acquisition of Citibank India’s consumer business has improved its retail presence.

On the technical side, Pal said the stock rebounded from ₹1,151.90 on June 6, the day of the RBI policy, and has shown consistent buying since. 

He noted that over the past three sessions, it has taken support at the 14-day Exponential Moving Average near ₹1,195.

Pal said the chart shows the stock is moving independently of broader market sentiment and is showing resilience to geopolitical developments. 

He recommended a buy-on-dips approach, identifying support near ₹1,175 and a potential upside towards ₹1,250.

Axis Bank reported a net profit of ₹25,719 crore and net interest income of ₹51,732 crore, with a net interest margin of 4.06% in its fourth quarter (Q4FY25).
