Foolish take

Shares of HDFC Bank are on fire, rallying 18.4% so far in 2025 and 25% over the past year. With the bank stock recently hitting a 52-week high of $78.14 per share and trading at levels last seen in 2021, investors appear to be taking some profits off the table.

A solid macroeconomic environment and business growth are buoying HDFC Bank stock. For its fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the bank reported 10% growth in net interest income. Its average deposits surged 15.8% while gross advances rose 5.4% year over year, driven by strong growth in retail, commercial, and rural banking loans.

Notably, except for its brokerage firm, all of HDFC Bank’s other subsidiaries also reported strong growth in Q4. They include a non-banking financial arm, life and general insurance businesses, and an asset management company.

The Reserve Bank of India slashed the repo rate for the third consecutive time in June, and it was an unexpectedly high cut of 50 basis points. That drove Indian banking stocks even higher, especially shares of large lenders like HDFC Bank that can make the most of the rate cuts to grow their loan books.
