HDFC Bank Reports Profit Rise Amid Share Decline; ICICI Bank Outperforms in Q1
HDFC Bank reported a 5% year-on-year rise in Q1 net profit to Rs 19,060 crore, with net interest income increasing 7%. Despite this, its shares fell over two sessions, while brokerages like Jefferies and Nomura remain bullish. ICICI Bank outperformed with a 16% profit increase and stronger financial metrics, leading to share gains. Other private banks showed mixed results, with foreign investors selling Nifty Bank futures amid concerns over compressed net interest margins across the sector.
