Stock advantages: Motilal Oswal
Commenting about the stock, Motilal Oswal said, "HDFC Bank reported robust YoY loan growth, but the same was below trend on a sequential basis. A healthy revival was witnessed in Retail loans, while Commercial Banking and Corporate segment saw strong traction and will likely support growth in PPOP. We expect the margin trajectory to recover gradually over FY23, while the uptick in Retail loan growth and Unsecured products will be supportive of fee income. The trend in Retail deposits softened, with the bank witnessing a sequential decline in its CASA ratio to 46%."
"The bank purchased loans aggregating Rs. 95.3b in 1QFY23, through the direct assignment route, under a Home loan arrangement with HDFC," the brokerage firm added.
