India’s second most-valued stock, HDFC Bank, faced a significant market downturn, witnessing an 8.5% fall – its worst daily performance since the Covid crash three years ago. This slump resulted in investors in the blue-chip losing over Rs 1 lakh crore, with the market capitalization of this Nifty heavyweight dropping to Rs 11.67 lakh crore.

Performance Metrics:

  • Fall Percentage: 8.5%
  • Market Capitalization Post-Fall: Rs 11.67 lakh crore

Historical Context:

  • Previous Worst Fall: Recorded during the Covid lows on March 23, 2020, with a loss of 12.7%.

Factors Contributing to the Fall:

  • Quarterly Results Disappointment:
  • The decline followed disappointment in the December quarter results.
  • Several brokerages lowered their target prices on the stock.
  • Q3 Performance:
  • Profits increased by 33% YoY to Rs 16,373 crore.
  • Boosted by a one-off write-back of Rs 1,500 crore of tax provisions.

Analyst Commentary:

  • Santanu Chakrabarti of BNP Paribas stated:
  • Net Interest Margin (NIM) at 3.7% met expectations but remained flat sequentially.
  • Disappointment centered around flat yields on interest-earning assets despite liquidity drawdown and a reduction in lower-yield wholesale loans.
