Bernstein is highest at Rs 1,150 and Nuvama lowest at Rs 875, and Jefferies and Nuvama both cut their targets after CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan said he will not seek another term. The stock is down about 26 percent in a year and touched a 52-week low of Rs 681.90 in early September, with net interest margin at 3.26 percent in Q1 FY27. The average target implies about 36 percent upside, but the CEO appointment, which now awaits RBI approval, is the trigger most brokerages are waiting on.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfcbank\/hdfc-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">HDFC Bank<\/a> trades around Rs 716 on 30 September 2026, 29.8 percent below its 52-week high of Rs 1,020.50 and 5.0 percent above its 52-week low of Rs 681.90. The stock has lost about 26 percent in a year even though FY26 consolidated net profit rose 7.9 percent to Rs 79,219 crore.

Net interest margin fell to 3.26 percent, foreign holding dropped from 48.61 percent in August 2025 to 41.83 percent in June 2026, and the CEO&#8217;s term ends on 26 October.<\/p>\n<p>The weekly chart shows the damage in stages. The stock slid from Rs 1,001.60 in late December to Rs 750.90 by end March, then lost 9.4 percent in the week of 20 July after the Q1 results. It made a fresh low of Rs 681.90 in the week of 7 September and has held above Rs 700 since the successor names reached the RBI.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Catalysts_for_the_HDFC_Bank_Share_Price_Target_in_2026\"><\/span><strong>Key Catalysts for the HDFC Bank Share Price Target in 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Four catalysts matter most, and the CEO appointment comes first. Together they decide whether the HDFC Bank share price target of Rs 976 is reached.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_CEO_Appointment_and_RBI_Approval\"><\/span><strong>1. CEO Appointment and RBI Approval<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A credible successor is the biggest re-rating trigger for the HDFC Bank target price. Morgan Stanley called the uncertainty a key overhang on the stock, and Nomura says a strong appointment could re-rate the shares. The board has filed two names in order of preference, and the RBI has to approve one before 26 October.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Margin_Recovery_and_Deposit_Growth\"><\/span><strong>2. Margin Recovery and Deposit Growth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Net interest margin at 3.26 percent is the number brokerages want to see turn. Nomura says management expects to gain a share of deposits raised under the FCNR(B) scheme, and it raised FY27 loan and deposit growth forecasts to 16 percent and 17 percent. Easing funding costs would help margins recover from here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Loan_Growth_and_Asset_Quality\"><\/span><strong>3. Loan Growth and Asset Quality<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Loan growth reached 16 percent in Q1 FY27, which Jefferies attributes to stronger corporate lending. Credit cost of 0.40 percent and a net NPA ratio of 0.41 percent mean low provisions protect profit while margins are under pressure, which is why earnings still grew 5 percent.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Valuation_Cushion\"><\/span><strong>4. Valuation Cushion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At about 1.85 times book value and 13.5 times earnings, HDFC Bank trades close to the 1.5 times forward book and 12 times earnings that Jefferies calls not demanding. That gives the HDFC Bank stock target range a valuation floor even if the margin stays flat for another quarter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Key_Risks_to_the_HDFC_Bank_Share_Price_Target\"><\/span><strong>What Are the Key Risks to the HDFC Bank Share Price Target?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main risks are a delayed CEO appointment, prolonged margin pressure, continued FII selling and a weak Q2 FY27 result. Each can pull the HDFC Bank share price target lower, as the recent cuts show.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CEO_Transition_and_Q2_Results\"><\/span><strong>CEO Transition and Q2 Results<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sashidhar Jagdishan&#8217;s term ends on 26 October 2026, and the RBI must approve his successor. Jefferies said the transition may slow deposit mobilisation and fee growth and could raise the cost of equity. Reports suggest the CEO will be named before the September quarter results, which arrive in October; the board-meeting date is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Net_Interest_Margin_Pressure\"><\/span><strong>Net Interest Margin Pressure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A margin of 3.26 percent is 12 basis points lower than the previous quarter. If deposit costs do not ease, the earnings estimates that support the HDFC Bank share price target of Rs 875 to Rs 1,150 could be trimmed again.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FII_Selling\"><\/span><strong>FII Selling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Foreign holding fell 6.78 percentage points in ten months. Domestic institutions absorbed the selling, but a further round of FII exits would cap any recovery.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Further_Target_Cuts\"><\/span><strong>Further Target Cuts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jefferies cut its HDFC Bank share price target by 16.2 percent to Rs 880 and Nuvama cut its by 14.6 percent to Rs 875 within days of the CEO announcement. More cuts are possible if the appointment slips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HDFC_Bank_Stock_Analysis_Support_and_Resistance_Levels\"><\/span><strong>HDFC Bank Stock Analysis: Support and Resistance Levels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>HDFC Bank stock analysis on weekly charts shows a range of Rs 682 to Rs 750 since early September, with the stock holding above its 52-week low of Rs 681.90.<\/p>\n<p>The first support level is Rs 706 to Rs 710, where the lows of the weeks of 24 August and 28 September formed. Below that, Rs 698.50 is the 31 August week low, and Rs 681.90 is the 52-week low. A weekly close under Rs 681.90 would open a fresh leg lower.<\/p>\n<p>The first resistance level is Rs 730 to Rs 750, capped by the Rs 749.30 high of the week of 21 September. Above that, Rs 802 to Rs 807 marks the late June highs, and Rs 843 is the early July peak. These levels come from weekly price action, are not trade recommendations, and frame the near-term HDFC Bank share price target.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Institutional_Holding_How_FII_and_DII_Shareholding_in_HDFC_Bank_Has_Changed\"><\/span><strong>Institutional Holding: How FII and DII Shareholding in HDFC Bank Has Changed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Foreign institutions now hold 41.83 percent of HDFC Bank, down from 48.61 percent in August 2025, while domestic institutions hold 41.92 percent, up from 36.04 percent.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<th>Period<\/th>\n<th>FII Holding<\/th>\n<th>DII Holding<\/th>\n<th>Public Holding<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aug 2025<\/td>\n<td>48.61%<\/td>\n<td>36.04%<\/td>\n<td>15.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sep 2025<\/td>\n<td>48.39%<\/td>\n<td>36.26%<\/td>\n<td>15.35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dec 2025<\/td>\n<td>47.67%<\/td>\n<td>37.19%<\/td>\n<td>15.14%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mar 2026<\/td>\n<td>44.05%<\/td>\n<td>40.32%<\/td>\n<td>15.64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jun 2026<\/td>\n<td>41.83%<\/td>\n<td>41.92%<\/td>\n<td>16.25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Domestic institutions added 5.88 percentage points while foreign investors sold 6.78 points. The SBI Nifty 50 ETF is the largest holder at 7.48 percent, followed by Life Insurance Corporation of India at 4.77 percent.

Q1 FY27 delivered a 5 percent profit rise to Rs 19,060 crore, loan growth of 16 percent and a net NPA ratio of 0.41 percent, but margin slipped to 3.26 percent. The main risks are the CEO transition, margin pressure and FII selling.<\/p>\n<p>The stock has fallen about 26 percent in a year, so the average target now implies roughly 36 percent upside. The triggers to watch are the RBI approval of the next CEO before 26 October, the Q2 FY27 results and the Rs 681.90 and Rs 750 levels.
