Check out what brokerages have to say:

Morgan Stanley 

Research firm has kept overweight call on HDFC Bank with a target at Rs 1,800 per share.

The initial update points to very strong growth in loans and retail deposits and we see continued market share gains, said Morgan Stanley.

Loan growth was strong in retail and commercial segment, while big surprise was seen in corporate banking relative to our estimates, it added.

Citi

The brokerage house has maintained a buy rating on HDFC Bank with a target at Rs 2,000 per share.

The bank has reported loan growth of 21% year on year and retail deposit growth is healthy.

Motilal Oswal

HDFC Bank reported robust loan growth, led by a healthy revival in retail loans. The commercial banking and corporate segment too saw strong traction, which will likely support growth in PPOP (pre-provision operating profit).

We expect the margin trajectory to recover gradually over FY23, while the uptick in retail loan growth and unsecured products will be supportive of fee income.

Trend in retail deposit too remains healthy, with the bank witnessing a sequential improvement in its CASA ratio to 48%.

We maintain our buy rating with a target price of Rs 2,000 per share (premised on 3.4x FY24E ABV for the core bank and Rs 127 from its subsidiaries).

At 12:55 hrs HDFC Bank was quoting at Rs 1,626.65, up Rs 120.35, or 7.99 percent and Housing Development Finance Corporation was quoting at Rs 2,626.75, up Rs 175.80, or 7.17 percent on the BSE.
