Federal Bank posted a net profit of ₹955.3 crore for the July-September quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (Q2FY26), exceeding CNBC-TV18’s poll estimate of ₹895 crore.

Federal Bank's asset quality showed notable improvement. Gross Non-Performing Assets (NPA) declined to 1.83% from 1.91% in the previous quarter, with the absolute figure falling to ₹4,532 crore from ₹4,669.7 crore.
Net NPA remained stable at 0.48% QoQ, with a slight increase in value to ₹1,165.2 crore from ₹1,157.6 crore.
