Mortgage home loans carry NIMs of 2-2.5% \u2014 significantly lower than HDFC Bank&#8217;s historical blended NIM of 4%+. This created immediate NIM compression that HDFC Bank has been slowly working through by improving the funding mix.<\/p><p>The merged entity&#8217;s NIM has been recovering from the immediate post-merger lows but is still below the pre-merger levels. NIM recovery is the most important financial metric for HDFC Bank&#8217;s re-rating.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_2_Deposit_Growth_Lagging_Loan_Growth\"><\/span><strong>Reason 2: Deposit Growth Lagging Loan Growth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>HDFC Bank&#8217;s loan book grew significantly post-merger. To fund this growth, the bank needs to grow its low-cost CASA deposits faster. However, deposit mobilisation at the branch level has been challenging \u2014 HDFC Bank is one of the most expensive banks for retail deposits (lowest savings rates among major private banks). The gap between loan growth and deposit growth has forced HDFC Bank to rely more heavily on bulk deposits and bonds, increasing funding costs.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_3_FII_Selling_%E2%80%94_Highest_Foreign_Ownership_Among_Banks\"><\/span><strong>Reason 3: FII Selling \u2014 Highest Foreign Ownership Among Banks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>HDFC Bank has approximately 44% FII ownership \u2014 the highest among major Indian private banks. During periods of global risk-off sentiment (US-Iran conflict, tariff uncertainty), FII selling in HDFC Bank is disproportionately large relative to any negative fundamental development. The stock&#8217;s performance is thus unusually correlated with global macro sentiment.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_4_Credit_Card_Market_Share_Pressure\"><\/span><strong>Reason 4: Credit Card Market Share Pressure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>HDFC Bank&#8217;s credit card business \u2014 historically India&#8217;s largest \u2014 has been facing competitive pressure from Axis Bank&#8217;s Atlas and Magnus cards, ICICI Bank&#8217;s Emeralde card, and SBI Cards&#8217; premium rewards programmes. High-spending premium cardholders, who are the highest ARPU segment, have more choice than ever.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reason_5_Regulatory_Scrutiny_on_Loan_Sourcing\"><\/span><strong>Reason 5: Regulatory Scrutiny on Loan Sourcing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>The RBI and banking regulators have been increasing scrutiny on banks&#8217; loan sourcing partnerships with fintech companies (FLDG-based co-lending arrangements).

Future Outlook<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>HDFC Bank at Rs 1,750 and 2.8x book is approaching fair value for India&#8217;s most trusted banking franchise. The NIM recovery thesis \u2014 from the post-merger compression back toward 3.8-4% \u2014 is intact but taking longer than initially expected. FII selling overhang will persist until global risk appetite recovers. Recovery to Rs 1,900-2,200 requires NIM above 3.8% for two consecutive quarters and deposit growth above 16%.
