HDFC Bank is in the middle of a leadership transition that will see ICICI Group veteran Anup Bagchi taking over as managing director.

Against that, the stock is +0.3% on the day at ₹728.85, and has returned -9.8% over three months. It sits 28% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -3.1% over the same period, so HDFC Bank is running 6.7 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.

  • The company directly in focus is HDFCBANK.
  • Sector exposure: Banks.
