Net profit has compounded at 78.30% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 59.07% while June 2026 quarter net profit grew 62.15%. Long-term returns in DII favourite stocks depend on earnings growth and the price paid at entry, so staggering purchases and consulting a SEBI-registered advisor is sensible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Max_Healthcare_become_a_multibagger_from_here\"><\/span><strong>Can Max Healthcare become a multibagger from here?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Max Healthcare has already gained 149.91% in five years, so another multi-fold move would need sustained earnings growth. A multibagger outcome in DII favourite stocks requires earnings to keep growing faster than the market for several years. Net profit has compounded at 24.26% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 18.82%. At a PE of 57.24 against an industry PE of 60.75, valuation should be checked against that growth before investing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_market_cap_of_HDFC_Bank_BSE_and_Max_Healthcare\"><\/span><strong>What is the market cap of HDFC Bank, BSE and Max Healthcare?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of 16 October 2026, HDFC Bank has a market cap of Rs 11,22,628 crore, BSE has a market cap of Rs 1,39,823 crore and Max Healthcare has a market cap of Rs 83,403 crore.

Companies with steady earnings growth handle these better. BSE trades at a PE of 49.55 against an industry PE of 42.42, so earnings growth needs to hold up.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_HDFC_Bank_trading_below_its_industry_PE\"><\/span><strong>Is HDFC Bank trading below its industry PE?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> HDFC Bank trades at a PE of 13.61 against an industry PE of 11.94. A lower PE means investors pay less for each rupee of earnings, but it should be read with growth (net profit has compounded at 20.04% a year since FY22 and FY26 revenue rose 5.21%) and balance sheet strength before drawing a conclusion.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_institutions_hold_in_HDFC_Bank_BSE_and_Max_Healthcare\"><\/span><strong>How much do institutions hold in HDFC Bank, BSE and Max Healthcare?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of the latest reported quarter, FII and DII together hold 83.03% of HDFC Bank (39.40% and 43.63%), 45.47% of BSE (21.32% and 24.15%) and 71.74% of Max Healthcare (41.78% and 29.96%).
