Hdfc Bank Ltd Adr (HDB)

HDFC Bank Ltd. ADR (HDB) stock dropped by 9.14% due to negative opinions from analysts regarding the private sector lender's weak financial results for the quarter ended December FY24. HDFC Bank's weak performance had a substantial negative impact on the Indian markets, as it is an index heavyweight and played a major role in dragging down both the Indian markets and the Bank Nifty.

• For the quarter ended December FY24, HDFC Bank reported a 2.5% sequential growth in net profit, reaching Rs 16,372.54 crore. However, this growth was partly affected by higher provisions for bad loans.
