Should you buy Kotak Mahindra Bank's stock after 7% drop?

Business Jul 29, 2025

Kotak Mahindra Bank's stock took a sharp 7.44% dive on Monday, closing at ₹1,966.60 and ranking among the biggest losers on the Nifty 50.
The main reason? The bank reported a steep 40% drop in profit for April-June 2025 compared to last year, which spooked investors.

Even with this rough patch, Kotak's long-term numbers look solid: net profit more than doubled from ₹9,903 crore in 2021 to ₹21,946 crore in 2025, and earnings per share jumped too.
Deposits hit nearly ₹5 lakh crore by March 2025 and total assets climbed as well.
Plus, shareholders are set to get a ₹2.50 per share dividend this July—so it's not all bad news if you're looking at the bigger picture.
