Analyzing the report, and adjusting the portfolio is the key to get the best out of stock market. Comparing companies with the industrial average and comparing an individual company with its past performance, are the two best ways to analyze any company. 
We, NepseKhabar team, have tried to compile the industry data of commercial banks and present it to our viewers so that a helping hand is provided. 

Net Profit
The ultimate profit earned by a company after deducting all the operational and non-operational expenses is the net profit. It is the amount that matters the most for an investor. Higher the net profit, higher the return. A certain portion of net profit is retained by the companies for the upcoming investment opportunities and operations, whereas some portion is distributed among the shareholders. The market price of a company also depends upon the profit earned, a poor earning company with less chances of growth is often traded at a low price in the stock exchange. Thus, Net profit is an important indicator to analyze at the time of investment. 

  
The average net profit of Commercial banks have increased by 12% in one year. Where the average net profit of commercial banks was Rs 1.10 arba last year, it has increased to Rs 1.22 arba.

However, the growth shown by the company is mesmerizing.  Thanks to the merger. NIC ASIA and Prabhu Bank, which had an above average earning last year, now don’t stay in the list anymore. However, Prime commercial bank has made it in the list this time, as it earns more than the industry. 11 out of 27 commercial banks have an above industry net profit this year.
