Analyst Views: What Should Investors Do Now?
Prashanth Tapse, Research Analyst at Mehta Equities, said the listing reflected strong investor appetite and was in line with expectations. 鈥淕iven the healthy listing and prevailing bullish sentiment, we recommend holding HDB Financial Services shares for the long term. The company is well-positioned to capitalise on India鈥檚 structural credit growth, especially in the retail and SME segments,鈥 Tapse noted.
For investors who didn鈥檛 receive an allotment, Tapse advised accumulating on post-listing corrections, especially during short-term volatility driven by broader market trends. 鈥淗DB Financial Services offers a value-driven investment opportunity with both defensive and growth characteristics 鈥 ideal for investors with a 3鈥5 year horizon,鈥 he added.
Tarun Singh, Founder and MD of Highbrow Securities, said the nearly 13% listing premium reflected a balanced market view. 鈥淭he market has weighed the stability of HDFC lineage against the headwinds facing a maturing NBFC sector. The premium suggests HDB is seen more as a steady compounder than a high-growth play,鈥 Singh said.
He further added that HDB鈥檚 performance in translating its pedigree into consistent returns would determine its long-term standing in the market.
