New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) Shares of ICICI Bank climbed nearly 3 per cent on Monday morning trade after the company posted a nearly 10 per cent increase in consolidated net profit for the June quarter.

The stock went up 2.67 per cent to Rs 1,239.95 on the BSE.

The core net interest income (NII) growth came at a multi-quarter low of 7.3 per cent to Rs 19,553 crore for the reporting quarter. The NII growth was restricted majorly by over 0.40 per cent, narrowing in the net interest margin at 4.36 per cent as against the year-ago period, and a nearly 16 per cent domestic loan growth.

The non-interest income grew 23 per cent to Rs 6,389 crore, excluding the performance of the treasury operations, while the treasury gains alone more than doubled to Rs 613 crore from the year-ago period's Rs 252 crore.
