🏦All other loans continue to show stable asset quality
Capital Adequacy:-
The bank has a strong Captial Adequacy 18.9%
TIER-1 capital is at 16.9%
With strong profitability, the bank has enough capital for near-term growth
So why is the market worried?
RoA and RoE could get hit in the near term as the HDFC book comes with a lower NIM.
This is one of the major concerns for the market.
NIM erosion below 4% is a key concern for the market.
Aggressive expansion of branches by HDFC Bank
The bank envisions to be 1-2 km of clients rather than the current 5-6 Km
This could inflate costs for the bank in the near term and needs to be monitored
Valuation:-
The bank now trades at historically low valuations of about 3x P/Bx
While this is not cheap,It is the lowest in the history of the bank
