The earnings report is largely in line with only a modest revenue miss, and the dividend hike signals confidence. Monitor 3Q NII guidance for ~2% sequential growth and FY26 NIM exit at ~3.70%. The stock may trade flat to slightly positive on the dividend increase and stable credit trends, but the revenue miss caps upside.
