On July 20, HDFC Bank fell 3.26% overnight, trading at $25.52/share, with turnover of $29,200.
The decline followed the release of fiscal first-quarter results ended June 30. HDFC Bank reported consolidated net profit of 190.60 billion Indian rupees, up approximately 5% year-over-year, with earnings per share of 12.35 rupees versus 11.79 rupees in the prior-year period. Net interest income rose 6.7% to 335.3 billion rupees. However, net interest margin contracted to 3.26% on total assets from 3.40% a year earlier, signaling continued margin pressure. Despite modest profit growth, the narrowing NIM raised concerns over earnings quality, likely serving as the primary catalyst for selling pressure.
