HDFC Bank: The juggernaut

  • HDFC Bank has consistently grown its market share in loans and deposits across credit cycles, and has emerged as the best-managed bank in India with robust profitability/growth metrics. Increasing granularity of the balance sheet, a focus on fee income growth, an improvement in operating leverage aided by digital initiatives, and controlled credit costs backed by strong underwriting have enabled the bank to outperform most peers.
  • We expect the bank to maintain its growth momentum and further gain market share across business segments. This, coupled with steady revenue growth, a continued improvement in operating leverage and moderation in credit cost, will help accelerate earnings growth (24% CAGR over FY18-20E).
  • We expect HDFCBK to deliver RoA/RoE of 1.96%/17.4% in FY20E. We maintain our Buy rating with a target price of INR2,400.
