HDFC Bank - DIIs cutting stake

I stumbled upon a thread here where everyone is going gaga over HDFC Bank stock. We all know it’s a quality bank but at the same time please do some research before going over-bullish. Two things worth noticing - 1. DIIs cutting their positions, they know many things which retailers are unaware. Yes, merger would have resulted in some offloading from passive funds but 3% is significant 2. Prashant Jain (3P investments, ex-HDFC AMC) has also viewpoint that valuations were bumped up and now stabilising. My overall comment is - Yea, it’s a good stock to own but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

DIIs are cutting exposure bec SEBI caps a stock at 10% holding of the MF portfolio, and most Mutual funds were holding both HDFC twins hence the offloading

Valuation perspective: The average price to book value of HDFC Bank in the last 5 years (calculating from Sept 2018) is 3.62. The highest it has touched is 4.78 (in 2018) and the lowest was 2.49 (covid fall). The script is currently trading 2.96 p/b, which is just shy of it’s lowest after covid fall. Even if though we typically don’t use P/E for financial instutitons, I would say that even the blended 1 year forward PE is still below 5-year average. If you still believe the fundamentals are in place, and it has more leg room to expand, then there is no reason for the stock to be overvalued. Especially for a long-term investor. 45/46 analysts covering the stock had a BUY rating. The only risks I see is how well the integration with HDFC happens. As far as rates go, interest rates are expected to remain higher for longer - a good thing for banks.

As you mentioned the integration exercise is underway, we should see. Those who are giving “BUY” are cutting the positions. I am just presenting a view which people should be aware before going berserk with those high volume BUY news-articles.

Fund inflows/outflows are not to be only seen as what DIIs are thinking about the stock. A lot of it comes from ETFs and also from funds generally being net sellers/net buyers in the market, based on overall sentiment. In HDFC Bank’s case, there are other things to price in like funds tracking the index will have to adjust to new weighting post-merger and so on. Don’t trust the data you are seeing blindly also, there are automated on these sites, ideally you have to go their shareholding pattern on their website and classify into DII/FII manually. (btw, if you check on screener, both FII/DII holding is seen at a record high)

Hey, that post was about diversifying the portfolio. Most of the people who have invested in HDFC Bank have allocated only 10-15% of their overall investments to the stock market, and that's also for long run, at least 2-3 years. Also, don't underestimate the intelligence of grapeviners. I made that mistake once and got into trouble myself. 😂

Who puts all their eggs in one stock anyway? That’s foolish.

HDFC ADR showing strength!

Picked HDFC again after a long pause, expecting similar trends to continue in Indian markets. Reason - Good growth (Q4) in lost cost retail deposits

HDFC Bank is below its 200 DMA. Do you see this as an opportunity?

Are you concerned that its promoter holding is currently at 0? What could be the contributing factors to the decline in their EPS? Despite experiencing a remarkable 30% growth in net profits, why is the NIM still stagnant?

[Thread] Why is the Indian Public Market outperforming the US Public Market?

Both indexes began diverging sometime close to when Fed started to aggressively hike rates. It appears that the post-COVID rally was more favourable to the S&P but NIFTY is currently outperforming on absolute returns. My idea is fundamentally simple. Financial prudence during the raging recovery paid off for us, the economy appears resilient and poised to do well in the near to mid-term. It also reflects that markets are pricing recessionary risk very differently to both markets. Any ideas by others?

Talked to an investor today who manages >100M+ USD fund in India

Was catching up with a friend of mine in Gurgaon for lunch today. Afterwards, his uncle joined us because they had to get some work done for his cousin's wedding. So, I came to know that he manages an equity fund for a popular wealth management fund in the country. He was commenting on the recent rise in the market after quite some time now. According to him, we are maybe in the midst of a good bull run with good capital inflows already in the market. He mentioned that there will always be naysayers until the markets get overbought and then naysayers will start screaming that we're in a bull run when it is already too late by then to buy anything. However he did mention two of his major concerns. FIIs combined hold a very significant amount of holdings in the Indian market when compared to DIIs, this means that there is some risk when they decide to book profits. Secondly, he commented that it fine to trade as a hobby but remember that there are players in the market who will hunt stop losses during a bull run. You will never know when that happens. So avoid trading and buy and hold was his advice.

STOCK MARKET

If we don't take out the day before yesterday's candle in Nifty, a further cut will occur in the market. Additionally the structure of Bank Nifty is of huge concern. No rally can sustain without the stability in Nifty Bank. Time to be more proactive and nimble.
