    Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on HDFC Bank

    HDFCB saw stable quarter; NIM (in-line) improved by 7bps QoQ to 3.73% as excess liquidity was utilized to retire wholesale deposits, thereby increasing LDR by ~3% QoQ. Loan growth at 4.9% QoQ was led by CRB, housing and CC. With system liquidity in shortfall and peak LDR at 77.4%, deposit growth should be faster for current loan momentum to sustain, failing which system loan accretion should reduce in FY25/26E, compressing LDRs. Factoring a 15% CAGR for HDFCB, we trim loan growth by 1% in FY25/26E which would impact NIM by 4/5bps. This could be partly offset by lower opex given softer deposit requirement; our core PAT reduces by 2%/4%.

    Outlook

    While falling LDR could pressurize NIM, bank would focus on (1) controlling deposit cost and (2) improving share of CASA and higher yielding retail. Maintaining multiple at 2.7x, we revise TP to Rs2,000 from Rs2,025. Retain ‘BUY’.
