Good Financial Indicators

The fundamentals of the HDFC shares attract both retail and institutional investors. The price-earnings ratio (P/E) of 19.87 aligns with the peer average of 19.29. The price-book (P/B) multiple of 2.89 on the other hand points to reasonable price valuations, compared to its rivals. The dividend yield of 1.08% also impresses income-generating investors. On top of this, the bank boasts an excellent book value per share at ₹625.39, displaying strong financial footing.

Momentum from Q4 FY25 Business Update

The recent rally is mainly driven by a good business update for Q4 FY25. Total deposits grew 14.1% year-on-year to ₹27.14 lakh crore, with subsequent growth of 5.9%. Gross advances also grew 5.5% year-on-year, at ₹26.43 lakh crore. Retail loans grew 9%, and commercial and rural banking sectors experienced a 12.8% increase, reflecting broad-based credit demand.

The 3.9% rise in Current Account Savings Account (CASA) deposits to ₹9.45 lakh crore indicates the bank's strength in securing stable low-cost funding. These numbers indicate a strong balance sheet and great operational efficiency post-merger.

Strategic Vision Post-Merger

With its takeover by HDFC Ltd, the bank has realigned its priorities towards high-yielding retail and rural lending to rebalance its portfolio and increase deposit mobilization. HDFC Bank is targeting a 15% deposit CAGR for FY25–27. At the same time, it is progressing towards operational streamlining to lower its cost-to-income ratio to approximately 40% by FY27.

The bank's conservative management of assets continues to make it stand out. Gross and net non-performing asset (GNPA/NNPA) ratios standing at 1.4% and 0.4% and a healthy provision buffer of ₹26,200 crore. Thus, HDFC Bank is well-positioned to take care of economic uncertainty. 

Investor and Analyst Sentiment Remain Positive

HDFC Bank continues to be a favorite among top brokerages due to its sustained outperformance and strong fundamentals. The bank has risen 5.87% in the last month and 7.03% in the last half-year even as the general markets have remained volatile. HDFC Bank stock has risen by almost 19% in the last year, outgaining the small increase of the Nifty Bank Index.

Outlook: Strong and Stable

HDFC Bank plans to grow its net interest margins to 3.5–3.6% by FY27. This will be supported by the moderation of funding costs and higher CASA share. Its cost and risk management discipline positions it well for future growth. Majority of analysts (76%) recommend a ‘BUY’ rating.
