    Growthsettoreturn,butwithquality: Weestimatebankto

    deliver better than system credit expansion at about 24%

    CAGR over FY0912E, well supported by improving economic

    conditions and sufficient low cost funds to generate better

    margins at lower risk. We believe that the banks revived

    growth phase will also be qualitative, bringing in more

    stability,comfortandresilienceduringtoughtimes.

    Impeccable asset quality with one of the lowest stressed

    assets:

    HDFC

    Bank

    has

    maintained

    robust

    asset

    quality

    with

    one of the lowest stressed assets amongst peers at about

    2.3%, including GNPA at about 1.8%, despite higher retail

    exposure and economic slowdown, primarily due to its

    prudent lending practices and conservative provisioning

    policies(provisioncoverageatabove70%).

    Return ratios to improve, but remain below historical

    averages:BankhasregisteredaverageRoEofabout20%over

    past10years,however,offlatehascomedowntoabout16%,

    primarily impacted due to significant equity dilution post

    contributiontodriveRoAatabout1.7%byFY12E.

    Rich valuations to stay; recommend accumulate: With

    profitable and qualitative growth set to return and adverse

    impact of the expensive CBoP merger waning, bank would

    continue to enjoy premium. However, after significant re

    rating, stock is richly valued at 20.4x EPS and 3.3x FY11E

    BV of 3.7x on FY11E adj.BV to arrive at a target price of

    Higherprovisioncoveragecomforting

    HDFC Bank has traditionally maintained a NPA coverage ratio above 67% (well above 10

    including general provisions) driven by consistently higher operating profitability (hig

    operating income/average assets at about 3%). We estimate operating profits to grow at 2

    CAGR

    over

    FY0912E,

    providing

    enough

    cushion

    for

    higher

    NPA

    provisioning,

    if

    required.
