- Loan growth was robust at 21/9% YoY/QoQ supported by healthy growth in the Commercial & Rural Banking (+31% YoY) and Corporate Book (+17% YoY)
- We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock with a revised target price of Rs 1,960/share derived using the SOTP method (core bank at 3.4xFY24E ABV + Subsidiaries value Rs 75/-), implying an upside of 34% from the CMP

HDFC Bank- 4QFY22 Result Update- Higher Wholesale Growth Hurts Margins
- HDFC Bank reported earnings growth of ~23% YoY, mainly driven by lower provisions.
- Operating profit growth was subdued at 5.3% YoY on account of multiple factors: (1) lower NII growth due to NIM compression (2) treasury losses (vs. gains in previous periods) due to increase in yields (3) investments in branches, human capital and technology.
- Loan book growth was strong at ~21% YoY, driven by commercial/rural and wholesale banking…(continued).

Infosys: 4Q Disappoints; Downgrade Cycle upon Us Sooner than Expected
- Infosys 4Q disappoints; Downgrade cycle upon us sooner than expected (INFY) reported US$4,280mn revenue for 4QFY22 (below our estimate of US$4,407mn) reflects ~1.2% growth QoQ in CC terms against our estimate of 4.3%.
- EBIT margin at ~21.5% (our estimate: ~23%) declined by 200bps QoQ.
- INFY attributed this weakness in revenue to seasonality (fewer working days), Covid impact and a one-off issue connected with a certain client (~100bps)…(continued).

- Q4FY22 operating performance missed our expectations.
- Revenues grew by a mere 1.2% QoQ CC, while EBITM declined 190bps to 21.6%.
- Operating performance remained weak due to seasonality, a Covid-related impact in the early part of the quarter and a clientrelated contractual provision (likely to be recovered in FY23).
