HDFC Bank Q2 Profit Rises 4.7% Amid Margin Pressure; Brokerages Maintain Positive Outlook
HDFC Bank reported a 4.7% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit to Rs 19,510 crore for Q2 FY27, with net interest income growing 9.7% and gross advances up 16.3%. The bank's asset quality improved, with a gross non-performing asset ratio of 1.11%. Despite broadly meeting market expectations, concerns over margin pressure and modest earnings growth led to a 2% share decline. Brokerages like JPMorgan and Citi lowered target prices but maintained positive ratings, while Bernstein projected a 58% upside potential.
