HDFC Bank's Q2 profit jumps 11% YoY, stock barely moves
HDFC Bank just posted a 10.82% jump in profit for July-September 2025, hitting ₹18,641 crore.
Even so, the stock barely moved—closing at ₹1,003.30 after touching a 52-week high earlier in the day.
So, strong numbers, but not much excitement on the trading floor.
Overall income rose about 6.5% to ₹91,040 crore
If you follow finance or invest, HDFC Bank is a big deal.
Their overall income rose about 6.5% to ₹91,040 crore, and loan growth was solid at nearly 10%.
Asset quality got better too, with bad loans dropping to 1.24%.
Still, margins slipped a bit, which might explain why the stock didn't rally.
Brokerages remain positive, but market is on the fence
Brokerages are still upbeat, raising their price targets thanks to the bank's steady growth and cleaner loan book.
But with higher provisions and pressure on margins, the market seems to be waiting for more before getting excited.
