HDFC Bank: Looking Beyond Reported Numbers

By Ankit Agrawal, CFA

  • Post merger, HDFC Bank (“HDFCB”) has been under pressure in regards to sustaining its loan growth, which very much hinges on rapid deposit growth.
  • While the deposit growth has been weak, it has been an industry-wide issue. Furthermore, at times, the period-end numbers can be misleading.
  • Focusing on average numbers paints a better picture of growth. Looking at the averages, deposit growth has been strong at 4.6% QoQ, despite liquidity issues in the banking system.
