The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +14.9% while the share price moved −23.3%. ## What is the Central Bank of India share price today? Central Bank of India's share price was ₹29.90 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been falling for 103 weeks. That is 9.7% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between ₹29 and ₹40, and at that close it sat 10% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the NIFTY 500, and it has stayed ahead for 1 week in a row. Over the last 11 years the share price moved −55% while the NIFTY 500 moved +249%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What changed at Central Bank of India this quarter? Three changes stood out: revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare), bad loans at their lowest share in 16 quarters and highest quarterly profit in 16 quarters. 1. Revenue up on a year earlier for 12 quarters in a row (every quarter we can compare) In the September 2026 quarter revenue was ₹10,394 crore, +18.4% on a year earlier. Why: Revenue rose because the bank earned much more interest on loans than it paid on deposits. Next results: check whether the bank's lending margin improves as repo rates rise. From the earnings call on 19 Oct 2026. 2. Bad loans at their lowest share in 16 quarters Gross NPA, the share of loans not being repaid, was 2.4% in the September 2026 quarter, from 3.02% a year earlier. Why: Bad loans fell because the bank recovered more from old bad loans. Next results: watch rural collections and whether more farm loans turn bad as drought and El Nino data become clearer. From the earnings call on 19 Oct 2026. 3. Highest quarterly profit in 16 quarters Profit of ₹1,488 crore in the September 2026 quarter is the highest of the last 16 quarters. Why: Profit rose because the bank earned more from loans after paying deposit interest and its running profit grew. Next results: check whether the share of income eaten by running costs falls as management promised. From the earnings call on 19 Oct 2026. ## What dividend does Central Bank of India pay?

## Is Central Bank of India profitable? Central Bank of India earned ₹1,488 Cr of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +20.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹4,531 Cr. That is 14.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹1,234 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹4,531 Cr (+14.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +18.4% on a year earlier and the margin moved +0.2 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +5.6% and revenue +12.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Central Bank of India make, and is it growing? Central Bank of India reported ₹10,394 Cr of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +18.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 3.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹36,168 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹38,888 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹36,168 Cr, +7.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +12.4% on average, against 3.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +12.4%, against +8.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +5.1%, against +18.7% a year (rolling over). ## How much does Central Bank of India keep from what it earns? Central Bank of India's net margin was 14.3% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 13 years it has been between −24.7% and 12.5%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## How many of Central Bank of India's loans have gone bad? Central Bank of India's gross NPA, the share of loans that have stopped being repaid, is 2.40% in Sep 2026, down from 3.02% a year ago. After the money already set aside for bad loans, 0.32% is left (net NPA). That is the 8th quarter in a row of improvement. Across the 12 quarters on file it has been between 2.40% and 4.59%. Falling bad loans mean the loan book is healing; rising ones mean new damage. In Sep 2026, gross NPA was 2.40% and net NPA 0.32%, against 3.02% and 0.49% a year ago. In short: a lender's profit growth is only as good as its loans, and this loan book is healing, several quarters running. Quarterly detail on money set aside for bad loans is not in our data yet, so this shows the levels and the trend, not the cost of the clean-up. Why bad loans moved: recoveries, write-offs and new bad loans all play a part. That split is not in our data, so the page shows the trend without the breakdown. ## How fast is Central Bank of India's loan book growing? Central Bank of India's revenue was ₹36,168 Cr in FY26, +7.0% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +18.4% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 14.3%, +0.2 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Gross NPA is the loan-quality figure this page uses. ## What is Central Bank of India's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Central Bank of India's P/BV is 0.7×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 34% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 0.8×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is low: this lender earns about 12% a year on its equity. A lender that earns less on its net worth is valued lower for each rupee of it, and that gap usually closes only if returns improve. Keep one thing in mind: the net margin is the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −23.3%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +6.3% a year; about +9.0% a year came from book-value growth and about −2.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less); over 10 years the price moved −10.3% a year; about −8.5% a year came from book-value growth and about −1.8 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Central Bank of India business getting better or worse? Central Bank of India's business is giving mixed signals. Growth is slowing from a very fast pace: profit growth has eased from +71.2% at its peak to +5.1%, but the business is still expanding, with ROE steady at 11.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Central Bank of India earn on its equity and assets? Central Bank of India earned a return on equity of 12% in FY26. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −30% in FY19. On its assets, every ₹100 earned about ₹0.87, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does Central Bank of India have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Central Bank of India shareholding pattern? Promoters cut their stake in Central Bank of India by 11.9 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Promoters now own 81.2% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +7.8 points over the same period, to 10.6%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Over the last two years: Promoters: −11.9 points over 8 quarters, to 81.2%; Domestic institutions: +7.8 points over 8 quarters, to 10.6%; Foreign institutions: +0.9 points over 8 quarters, to 1.3%. Why the owners changed: promoters drove it (−11.9 points), with the other side taken by domestic institutions (+7.8 points). They reduced their stake. ## How far is Central Bank of India from balance-sheet trouble? For Central Bank of India, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Central Bank of India rank in its industry? 48.8 out of 100, rank 9 of 13 in Banks - PSU, with 85% of the evidence available. Central Bank of India scores 48.8 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Banks - PSU, ranking 9. The valuation scores well, but earnings are not improving yet, so the business does not back up the low multiple so far. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 13.5 + 8.8 + 18.2 + 8.3 = 48.8. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Central Bank of India compared with? Central Bank of India ranks 9 of 13 Banks - PSU companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 48.8 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
