ICICI Bank share price – Should you buy or sell?

Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal has maintained ICICI Bank stock as its ‘top buy in the sector’ with a target price of 1,750, seeing an upside potential up to 30%.

“ICICIBC’s stock performance has been tepid in the past one year, reflecting the broader derating across banking stocks amid persistent FII selling in recent months. With operating performance holding strong and growth gaining traction, we expect the bank to rerate gradually. We fine-tune our earnings estimates and expect FY28E RoA/RoE of 2.3%/16.2%. ICICIBC remains our top BUY in the sector with a TP of INR1,750 (2.5x Sep’27E ABV),” the brokerage firm said in a note.

Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet, believes that the stock has rebounded strongly from the 1,180 level, forming a firm base on the weekly charts and signaling a positive medium-term outlook. That said, after the sharp gains seen in recent weeks, a phase of consolidation or a short-term pullback cannot be ruled out.

“Any dips towards the 1,275-1250 zone should be utilised as buying opportunities, with a stop loss placed at 1,175 on a closing basis. On the upside, the stock has the potential to move towards 1,450 initially, with further extension towards 1,480 likely over the next few quarters,” Sachdeva said.
