Today’s top research idea
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.
