HDFC Bank has released its Q4 earnings for the fourth quarter on Saturday. The release of Q4 earnings data led to a 3.7% slump in HDFC stock on Monday early trading. The shares dropped to Rs. 1,409 on the BSE.

Many analysts have reduced the target price estimates for HDFC bank, although some still remain bullish about it.

Here below are details on HDFC Q4 earnings and how it will impact the bank stock in the upcoming days.

Closer Insight of HDFC Bank Q4 Earnings

On 16 April 2022, the company reported a 23% YoY growth in its standalone net profit which stood at Rs. 10,055 crores for the quarter ending March 2022. In contrast, its standalone profit a year ago was Rs. 8,186.51 crores. This growth is due to a decline in bad loans by 29%. This resulted in asset quality improvement.

However, in the early trading of 18 April 2022, there was a decline of 3% in HDFC Bank’s share price. This is after it declared its fourth-quarter number last week.

Net interest income or NII is the difference between the interest expended and the interest earned. This showed an upward growth of 10.2%, with credit growth of 21% and deposit growth of 16.8% YoY.

In its BSE filing, HDFC Bank also shared its percentage growth in total assets and interest-earning assets, which stood at 4% and 4.2%, respectively.

What Analysts Have to Say About the Performance of HDFC Bank in Q4?

Seeing the Q4 earnings of the company, the top brokerages have the following opinions:

Credit Suisse

While the NIM or net interest margin of the company was soft, it also showed a robust growth trend. The capital level of HDFC Bank is strong and shows a rise of 2 to 3% in EPS estimates. Furthermore, the expected RoE of the company as per Credit Suisse would stand at 16 to 17%.

CLSA

HDFC Bank showed a mixed performance through solid growth and low opex growth in the fourth quarter. At the same time, NIM would be recovering gradually and slowly. Apart from this, HDFC bank also plans to provide the distribution expansion cost of FY 2023. Also, CLSA expects its earning resilience to be high. However, the brokerage prefers Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and SBI over HDFC Bank.

Bottom Line

To conclude, HDFC Bank Q4 earnings show strong performance through a 10.2% growth in NII, indicating a chance to earn profits. However, there are several factors influencing the decision of investors whether to buy, sell or hold shares.
