- October 23
The analysis
Against that, the stock is -0.2% on the day at ₹511.20, and has returned -28.9% over three months. It sits 34% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The financial services sector has moved -11.9% over the same period, so HDB Financial Services is running 17.0 points behind its peers.
For HDB Financial Services, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the financial services peer set alongside it.

- With SEBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
