MOSL: HDFC BANK (Buy)-Stellar performance on all fronts

​HDFC Bank: Stellar performance on all fronts

(HDFCB IN, Mkt Cap USD47.5b, CMP INR1735, TP INR2000, 15% Upside, Buy)

  • HDFCB's 1QFY18 PAT grew 20% YoY (2% miss) to INR38.9b, driven by 29% YoY PPoP growth (3% beat), partly offset by provisions. HDFCB delivered robust loan growth, strong cost control, QoQ improvement in margins and best-in-class asset quality.
  • Loans grew 5% QoQ and 23% YoY to INR5.81t. Incremental growth in 1QFY18 was driven by retail loans (75% incremental share; 66% of overall loans). In retail loans (+3.5% QoQ, +25% YoY), the main drivers were business banking/personal loans, which grew 8%/11% QoQ and 27%/37% YoY.
  • Fee income picked up in the quarter (+30% YoY). However, adjusted for one-off fee income from OMCs and exceptionally strong credit card sales, fee income growth came in at ~18%-20%.
  • CASA growth was strong at 29% YoY, led by 26% YoY SA growth and 34% YoY CA growth. CASA ratio stood at 44%, down 400bp from one-off high of 48% in 4QFY17.
  • Asset quality stays robust, with NSL at 54bp. However, HDFCB incurred increased provisioning for NPAs resulting from farm loan waivers and also from additional provisions created against stressed sectors.
