HDFC Bank shares fall on Q1 margin concerns
HDFC Bank's shares have dropped over 7% in two days, losing a lot of value, because their recent financial results weren't as good as investors hoped.
The bank made more profit compared to last year, but their overall income and operating profit went down.
This made investors worried, especially because the money they make from interest didn't increase as much as expected.
The bank's management will need to find ways to improve these numbers to make investors feel better.
HDFC Bank shares fell over 7% in two days, wiping out Rs 89,635.73 crore from its market valuation.
The stock declined 2.08% to settle at Rs 761.45 on the BSE and NSE.
HDFC Bank reported a 5% increase in net profit to Rs 19,060 crore for the June quarter.
Total income of the bank dropped to Rs 92,184 crore from Rs 99,200 crore in the same period a year ago.
Operating profit declined to Rs 28,169 crore from Rs 35,734 crore in the same quarter a year ago.
