July 29 (Reuters) - ** India's IndusInd Bank INBK.NS swung to profit in Q1 on lower operational expenses, however, its asset quality worsened and provisions for bad loans rose

** Shares trading 1% higher at 809.50 rupees

CAUTION STILL WARRANTED

** JP Morgan ("underweight," PT: 550 rupees) says while INBK's profitability recovered from record loss in Q4, core trends suggest limited scope for sustained improvement in returns

** Investec ("sell," PT: 650 rupees) says INBK has a tough climb ahead on profitability, cuts FY26 and FY27 EPS estimates by 15% and 6%
