HDFC Bank Shares Decline Amid Growth Concerns and Technical Resistance Levels
HDFC Bank's share price has declined around 29-30% year-to-date 2026 amid concerns over growth momentum, margin performance, and leadership transition. Anand Rathi maintains a 'Buy' rating with a target price of 966, citing reasonable valuations and sector tailwinds but notes HDFC Bank lags peers like ICICI Bank in credit growth, net interest margins, and return on equity. Technical analysis highlights resistance at the 400-week EMA, with potential support near 680 and a possible rebound if the stock surpasses 745 on a weekly close.
