HDFC Bank share price today

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank (NSE: HDFCBANK) is India’s largest private bank — roughly 15% of the entire banking system’s advances flow through it. It is also, right now, one of the strangest charts on the Nifty: the stock sits near its 52-week low of ₹727 (against a high of ₹1,020) while quarterly profit just grew 19% year-on-year.

A great franchise going nowhere in price for years, then quietly becoming cheap — this is usually where long-term positions get built. Let us check whether that pattern holds here.

What you own when you own HDFC Bank

A deposit-gathering machine. Deposits grew from ₹23.8 lakh Cr to ₹31 lakh Cr in just two years (FY24→FY26). Low-cost deposits are the raw material of banking, and nobody in the private sector gathers them at this scale.

A 15% slice of Indian credit. Every EMI, working-capital line and credit card in a growing economy is the addressable market.

The merger, finally digested. The 2023 merger with parent HDFC Ltd bloated the balance sheet with expensive borrowings. Watch what has happened since: borrowings have run off from ₹7.31 lakh Cr (FY24) to ₹5.88 lakh Cr (FY26), replaced by cheaper deposits. That mechanical margin repair is still playing out — it is the core of the earnings story for the next two years.

A stable of listed subsidiaries — HDB Financial, HDFC Life, HDFC AMC, HDFC Securities — each with its own value.

The numbers (consolidated, post the 1:1 bonus of 2025)

From Screener.in:

YearRevenue (₹ Cr)Net profit (₹ Cr)EPS (₹)Payout
FY242,83,64965,44642.1623%
FY253,36,36773,44046.2624%
FY263,48,61579,21949.3931%
TTM3,51,81982,51251.35

Five-year compounding: revenue 22% a year, profit 19% a year, ROE steady in the 14–17% band. The bank has never had a crisis year in its listed life — the growth just compounds through cycles.

Quarterly review — the grind is turning

QuarterNet profit (₹ Cr)EPS (₹)
Sep 202520,36412.76
Dec 202520,69112.87
Mar 202621,07413.22
Jun 202620,38312.50

June 2026 profit was up 19% year-on-year (₹20,383 Cr vs ₹17,090 Cr). Rate cuts squeeze NIM near-term, but the borrowing run-off works the other way — the net effect is visible in that YoY number. One more housekeeping positive: the bank is redeeming $1 billion of expensive AT1 bonds this month rather than rolling them.

Balance sheet review

  • Deposits ₹31 lakh Cr, up 30% in two years — franchise health in one number.
  • Merger borrowings down ₹1.4 lakh Cr in two years — each replaced rupee lifts margin.
  • Capital: equity doubled to ₹1,539 Cr via the 1:1 bonus (Aug 2025) — cosmetic, but it reset the per-share optics; every historical number here is bonus-adjusted.
  • Asset quality: GNPA around 1.4%, among the cleanest large books in the system.

Shareholding review — the identifiable seller

HolderSep 2023Dec 2025Jun 2026
FIIs52.13%47.67%41.82%
DIIs30.39%37.00%41.75%
Public17.30%15.11%16.27%

There is no promoter — HDFC Bank is a professionally-run, institutionally-owned bank. The chart’s weakness has a name: foreign ownership has fallen ten percentage points in under three years, a slow structural unwind (index weight caps, EM outflows, profit-booking on India’s most-owned stock). Domestic funds have bought almost exactly what FIIs sold. When the seller is a flow, not a fact about the business, patience tends to get paid.

Valuation — the actual bull case

At ₹742 the bank trades at 14.5× trailing earnings and 1.9× book, with a PEG of 0.8. For context, HDFC Bank spent most of the 2015–2021 era between 3× and 4.5× book. The valuation has not been this undemanding in over a decade — for a franchise still compounding profit at 19%.

Cheapness alone is not a thesis; cheapness plus an improving margin cycle plus a completed merger is.

HDFC Bank share price target 2026 to 2030

EPS base ₹51.35 (TTM). Scenarios: bear 8% growth (NIM stays squeezed, credit growth slows), base 13% (system credit growth + margin repair — below its own 19% five-year record, deliberately conservative), bull 17% (margin normalisation completes, subsidiaries compound). Multiples: bear 13×, base 17×, bull 21× — all within its own ten-year range.

YearBear (13×, 8%)Base (17×, 13%)Bull (21×, 17%)
2026₹780₹900₹1,030
2027₹810₹1,010₹1,210
2028₹840₹1,130₹1,440
2029₹875₹1,270₹1,700
2030₹910₹1,425₹2,020

Note what the bear case says: even with growth halving and the multiple staying depressed, the arithmetic lands above today’s price by 2030 — that is what buying near a decade-low valuation does to downside math. The base case, needing only 13% growth at 17×, roughly doubles the stock by 2030, plus a rising dividend along the way.

Reasons to own HDFC Bank

  1. India’s largest private bank at its cheapest valuation in over a decade (1.9× book, PEG 0.8).
  2. 19% YoY profit growth right now — the earnings engine never stalled, only the multiple did.
  3. Merger margin-repair tailwind: ₹5.9 lakh Cr of borrowings still running off into cheaper deposits.
  4. The seller is a flow (FII unwind), absorbed one-for-one by domestic funds.
  5. Fortress asset quality (GNPA ~1.4%) — this compounds because it never blows up.
  6. Optionality in listed subsidiaries and a payout ratio that just stepped up to 31%.

Risks, stated plainly: NIM compression if rate cuts run deeper; system credit growth is cyclical; a bank this large grows with the economy, not faster than it — the days of 25% compounding are structurally over. The bet is 13–17%, not 25%.
