Nandish Shah of HDFC Securities has recommended a Bear spread on Bank Nifty and a Bull spread on Canara Bank.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -1.2% on the day at ₹702.65, and has returned -15.3% over three months. It sits 30% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -4.0% over the same period, so HDFC Bank is running 11.3 points behind its peers.
For HDFC Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
