Goldman Sachs initiates HDB Financial Services stock at Neutral

Investing.com - Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on HDB Financial Services (HDBFS:IN) with a Neutral rating and a price target of INR808.00, representing a potential 7% upside.

The investment bank noted that HDB Financial Services is a diversified non-banking financial company (NBFC) with 71% of its loans in secured segments, having increased its unsecured lending mix by 10 percentage points over fiscal years 2022-2025 while maintaining stable asset quality.

Goldman Sachs projects a profit after tax (PAT) growth of 24% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over FY25-28E, driven by robust loan growth potential despite the company having less than 1% market share in system loans, and approximately 50 basis points improvement in return on assets (ROA).

The firm’s target price of INR808 is based on a target multiple of 19X FY27E earnings per share (EPS), or 2.8X FY27E book value per share (BVPS), which implies a 7% upside compared to 35% for Goldman Sachs’ Buy-rated companies in its coverage universe.

Goldman Sachs cited several factors for its Neutral stance, including the need for consistent improvement in credit costs, a pathway to loan growth recovery amid a weaker near-term macro environment, and sustained margin improvements, concluding that the risk-reward appears balanced at current valuation.
