Kajaria Ceramics, Netweb Technologies India, Apollo Micro Systems, Lumax Auto Technologies, Gujarat Ambuja Exports and SBFC Finance are also due to report. The updates will provide company-specific data on earnings, income, expenses, asset quality and operational performance.

Companies scheduled to announce results

The October 24 earnings calendar spans several closely tracked sectors in the Indian market. Banking investors will focus on disclosures from Kotak Mahindra Bank, IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank. Financial results from SBFC Finance will add another update from the lending space. Castrol India, JK Cement and Kajaria Ceramics are among the companies representing manufacturing and consumer-linked segments. Netweb Technologies India and Apollo Micro Systems are scheduled to provide updates from technology and electronics-related businesses. Lumax Auto Technologies and Gujarat Ambuja Exports complete a group of named companies in the wider list of 33.

AU Small Finance Bank board meeting

AU Small Finance Bank has informed the BSE that its board meeting is scheduled for October 24, 2026. The board is set to consider and approve unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The results remain subject to limited review by the bank's joint statutory auditors. The lender is also scheduled to host a group conference call with analysts and investors at 5:00 pm IST on October 24. Senior management is expected to discuss Q2FY27 and H1FY27 financial performance during that session.

AU Small Finance Bank's reported Q1FY27 figures

The bank's preceding quarterly disclosure provides context ahead of the scheduled Q2FY27 announcement. AU Small Finance Bank reported a 37% year-on-year increase in net profit to Rs 796 crore in Q1FY27. Net interest income rose 32% year-on-year to Rs 2,695 crore. Gross non-performing assets stood at 2.1%, compared with 2.5% a year earlier. The bank's reported gross profit was Rs 1,435 crore, while interest earned was Rs 5,302 crore. Its listed Q1 net profit figure was Rs 795 crore, down 4.32% quarter-on-quarter and up 37.03% year-on-year.

Asset quality and margin indicators

AU Small Finance Bank's Q1FY27 asset-quality disclosures showed a decline in gross NPA to 2.1% from 2.5% a year earlier. Credit cost, including CGFMU, was 0.8%, compared with 1.4% in the earlier year. In microfinance, March 2026 X-bucket collection efficiency was 99.7%. Microfinance GNPL improved to 3.6% in Q1FY27 from a peak of 4.6% in Q2FY26. Reported net interest margin rose to 5.9% in Q1FY27 from 5.4% in Q1FY26. Cost of funds declined to 6.5% from 7.1% over the same comparison.

Universal bank approval remains a long-term factor

An ICICI Securities company update dated September 4, 2026 identified AU Small Finance Bank's in-principle approval to convert into a universal bank as a significant long-term catalyst. The update also noted that management's FY27 return on assets target of 1.8% did not depend on further expansion in net interest margin. Management said lower credit costs and operating leverage should support earnings. The scheduled results and investor call may provide further disclosures on the quarter ended September 30. Any discussion on strategy will need to be assessed against the bank's formal results and management commentary.

Earlier September-quarter performance

AU Small Finance Bank had reported net profit of Rs 561 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a 2% decline from Rs 571 crore in the July-September quarter of FY25. Net total income increased 9% to Rs 2,857 crore in that reported quarter. Operating expenses rose 11% year-on-year to Rs 1,647 crore. These figures relate to the previous year's September quarter and are separate from the Q2FY27 results scheduled for October 24, 2026. The comparison underlines why investors will examine both year-on-year movement and changes from Q1FY27 when the new numbers are released.

What the results will show

For lenders, the main reported indicators will include profit, net interest income, margins, deposit and loan trends, operating costs, and asset quality. For companies in cement, lubricants, ceramics, auto components, exports, technology and electronics, earnings releases will provide their respective financial and operational updates for the September quarter. The existing schedule does not provide Q2FY27 estimates or outcomes for the companies named. As a result, the October 24 announcements will be the relevant source for confirmed quarterly performance. Company filings and management calls will also clarify any material developments disclosed alongside the results.

Market relevance of the earnings calendar

The concentration of 33 results on one day creates a broad set of sector-specific updates for market participants. Bank results are relevant for tracking lending conditions, margins, costs and credit quality. Reports from JK Cement and Kajaria Ceramics will add company-level information from building-material segments. Castrol India and Lumax Auto Technologies will provide updates from automotive-linked businesses. Netweb Technologies India and Apollo Micro Systems will report data relevant to their own technology and electronics operations. The market response, if any, will depend on the actual disclosures released by each company.

Next scheduled steps

The companies are scheduled to release their Q2FY27 financial results on October 24, 2026. AU Small Finance Bank's board meeting and analyst call are both scheduled for the same day, with the call set for 5:00 pm IST. Investors will have confirmed September-quarter data after the relevant board-approved filings are published. The results will also cover the first half of FY27 for companies issuing half-year disclosures. Further analysis will depend on the financial statements, regulatory filings and management comments released with the announcements.
