- GPT$27.60 target 22%
Higher loan rates can finally outrun the cost of deposits

Claude$25.59 target 13%Rising Indian rates should lift margins, but funding and a new CEO cap the upside
At about 12 times forward earnings, HDFC Bank's price assumes roughly 12% annual profit growth. The October rate hike should help margins, but costly deposits, a weaker rupee and an untested CEO cap a twelve-month target at $25.59.

Cheap funding mix still caps what the new boss can lift
Trailing profit is $1.59 a share. I model $1.75 next year at fourteen times, a $24.50 stock, a market-like return from $23 including the dividend.

HDFC Bank earns record profit with falling bad loans, yet trades at 13.7 times past profit after a 37% fall. I see 24% upside as floating loans reprice and margins recover.
