HDFC Bank Ltd, symbol HDB-N, is recognized as the largest private-sector bank in India and presents a compelling investment opportunity due to India's young population and potential for growth. With an average age of just 30, the country is projected to see substantial advancements over the next few decades, particularly if the government prioritizes infrastructure development. Recent earnings growth of 15% indicates robust financial health, with expectations for continued growth in the 15-20% range. This stands in contrast to the more stagnated growth seen in North American banks, making HDFC Bank an attractive option for those seeking diversification and exposure to emerging markets. Furthermore, with an analyst price target of $43.74 and a yield of 1.03%, HDFC Bank is currently viewed as an appealing investment opportunity.
A very large bank in India, and they steered clear of all of the nonperforming loan issues. However, because of that, it has very much outperformed ICICI and some of the state banks in India. It is now trading at around 20X earnings. Management is very disciplined and very focused on ROE and risk management.
Christine TanPrefers this over ICICI Bank, primarily because of the type of loan book that they have. They have a little less exposure to the big corporate loan sector, which is going through a little bit of a workout in India right now. This bank trades at a premium. She is focused on quality growth, and is willing to pay a little bit more for it.

An Indian stock for a long-term hold? You can do this through the banking side through an HDFC Bank (HDB-N) or through ICICI Bank (IBN-N). Those 2 are the best ones. Their share prices have had a huge run this year, much like the emerging markets. It has also helped that the Indian government has enacted a GST.
