Summary

HDFC Bank, a prominent player in the Indian banking sector, has displayed signs of slowing growth based on its Q2 FY2024 earnings report.

While revenue and profit continue to rise year-on-year, the bank’s Net Interest Margin (NIM) has been consistently declining, dropping from its historical average of 4-4.5% to 3.46%. This reduction in NIM, alongside a gradual rise in gross NPAs, reflects increasing pressure on the bank’s asset quality.

The bank’s Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio, currently around 2.6, appears high compared to global peers like Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase. Given the bank’s size, this premium is becoming difficult to justify, and this is reflected in its stock price, which has not seen significant gains despite positive financial results.

One positive development is the upcoming IPO of HDFC Financial Services, which could unlock value and potentially improve HDFC Bank’s book value.

However, the path forward may be more challenging than in previous years, as competition from digitally focused banks like ICICI and IDFC First intensifies. HDFC Bank, having lagged in digitalization, faces stiffer competition in market penetration. As a result, while the bank may continue to perform steadily, its aggressive growth from past decades may be harder to sustain.
