Bank of Baroda shares slide 8% after NIM pressure dents Q4 earnings



Shares of Bank of Baroda slipped as much as 8.1% on Tuesday to Rs 229 on the BSE after the state-run lender reported margin pressures that weighed on its March-quarter earnings despite a rise in net profit.

Bank of Baroda (BoB) reported a 3.3% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit for the quarter ended March 2025 (Q4FY25), at Rs 5,048 crore compared with Rs 4,886 crore in the same period last year. However, its net interest income (NII) — the key measure of a bank’s core earnings — fell 6.6% to Rs 11,020 crore from Rs 11,793 crore a year earlier, reflecting the pressure on net interest margins (NIM).
