HDFC Bank moved higher.
· NDTV Profit
HDFC Bank issued 14 lakh credit cards in the September quarter, up nearly 19% sequentially. Meanwhile, credit-card spending across banks remained close to Rs 2 lakh crore a month, with outstanding cards rising to 12.29 crore in July.
The analysis
HDFC Bank reported Rs 2 lakh crore, with movement of 19% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +1.4% on the day at ₹692.80, and has returned -8.1% over three months. It sits 31% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -6.0% over the same period, so HDFC Bank is running 2.1 points behind its peers.
For HDFC Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
