Market Focus10-19

On October 19, HDFC Bank fell 4.43% in Regular Trading, trading at $23.17 per share, with turnover of $26.6307 million.

The main backdrop for the move was a combination of stronger reported earnings and revenue alongside a small target price reduction by an investment bank.

For the fiscal first half, HDFC Bank reported consolidated attributable profit of 399.45 billion rupees, up from 358.69 billion rupees a year earlier, while earnings per share rose to 25.93 rupees from 23.39 rupees and total income increased to 2.625 trillion rupees from 2.516 trillion rupees. Separately, fiscal second-quarter standalone diluted EPS came in at 12.63 rupees versus 12.09 rupees a year earlier and above the 9.49 rupees expected by analysts, while revenue rose to 786.9 billion rupees from 718.2 billion rupees. At the same time, Nomura lowered its target price to 940 rupees from 950 rupees while maintaining a buy rating, forming the immediate news backdrop to the stock’s weakness.
