HDFC Bank Shares Fall After Q1 Results; Brokerages See Upside Amid ICICI's Stronger Growth
HDFC Bank shares have declined nearly 10% over four sessions following its Q1 FY27 results, despite reporting a 5% year-on-year net profit increase and steady earnings growth. Brokerages like Jefferies remain optimistic, citing improving margins, healthy loan growth, and attractive valuations with potential upside of up to 40%. Meanwhile, Bernstein highlights ICICI Bank's stronger loan growth of around 20% year-on-year and broader business momentum, noting that ICICI is outperforming HDFC amid subdued retail lending and narrowing deposit advantages for HDFC.
