Fundamental Analysis – HDFC Bank Share:

Number of Shares – 548.33 Cr Shares

Market Capital – Rs. 671126.79 Cr

As our readers know, the basic part of quantitative fundamental analysis is Valuation ratios.

Valuation Ratio:

Unlike others, Bank Shares will have a different set of valuation methods and aspects to understand the safety and stability of the bank.

1. Book Value:

Book value is known as the loan book of a bank. It has grown by 23% in Q2’2021 compared to the previous quarter. The current total Book value of Q2’2021 is Rs. 1609428 Cr. The book Value per Share is Rs. 321.63.

2. Price to Book value:

The P/B ratio of the current market price (CMP) is 3.81. This is too high; the share price is 3.81 times higher than the book value. P/B of a bank stock should be less than 1, ideally. Banks like HDFC, with 18% year-on-year revenue, can have a P/B of a maximum of 2. 3.81 is a worrying sign for investors.

3. Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR):

CAR is the most important parameter to analyze before investing in bank shares. It states the percentage of capital against the total credit of the bank.

A Bank should have a minimum CAR of 15%. HDFC Bank currently has 19.1% as of Q2’2021. It was 18.5% and 17.5% in FY2020 and Q2’2020, respectively. It has shown a perfect increase in the CAR quarter on quarter.

4. Non-Performing Assets (NPA%):

NPA is the percentage of outstanding loans without any return to the total estimated asset. As NPA increases, bank stability decreases. There is no minimum threshold in NPA%. Every bank loves to keep NPA at 0, but ultimately not possible.

There are two types of NPA – Gross and Net. HDFC Bank’s current (Q2’2021) Gross NPA – is 1.08% and its Net NPA – is 0.17%. This has reduced gross NPA – by 1.38% and Net NPA -by 0.42% in Q1’2021.

In terms of NPA, the bank has also shown a great green signal for its investors of safety and stability.

5. Other Ratios:

These ratios don’t have much impact on the valuation of shares. Anyhow, we have shared it for your reference.

  • Earnings per Share (TTM) – Rs. 53.96 per share.
  • Price to Earnings (P/E) – 22.68
  • Dividend yield – 0.2%
  • 5 years EPS Growth – 18.44%
  • Borrowing to Net worth ratio – 1.05 (Ideally, it should be less than 0.5)

  • Return on Equity – 15.45%
  • Net Profit Margin – 18.53%
