HDFC Bank (ISIN US40415F1012) closed at INR 738.60 on the NSE on September 22, 2026, down 0.12 percent, as leadership succession remained the central company issue. The stock was 27.5 percent below its 52-week high of INR 1,020.50, while the bank's June-quarter net profit rose 4.98 percent year on year to INR 19,059.72 crore.

Succession meets operating growth

According to MSN on September 22, 2026, HDFC Bank's board will review unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and half year ending September 30, 2026, at its October 17 meeting. The date gives the market a defined checkpoint for both earnings and the chief executive search.

The June-quarter numbers provide the latest operating baseline. Net interest income increased 6.7 percent year on year to INR 33,534 crore, while net interest margin stood at 3.26 percent of total assets. Average deposits grew 13.3 percent and average gross advances increased 13.4 percent during the same quarter, showing loan and funding expansion ahead of the October report.

Asset quality is the counterweight

Growth came with a measurable asset-quality caveat. Gross non-performing assets stood at 1.17 percent and net non-performing assets at 0.41 percent in the June quarter, both slightly higher than in the preceding quarter, according to MSN. For the next results, the margin and credit-cost trajectory therefore matter alongside headline profit growth.

The leadership timetable adds a second variable. Sashidhar Jagdishan is due to leave when his current term ends on October 26, 2026, and the October 17 board meeting is scheduled before that date. The succession process and the September-quarter figures will consequently arrive within the same short reporting window.

Stock remains below yearly high

HDFC Bank's September 22 close of INR 738.60 was INR 282.40 below the 52-week high of INR 1,020.50 and INR 56.60 above the 52-week low of INR 682, according to the dated market snapshot. The range places the share price closer to the annual low than the annual high while current earnings growth remains positive.

HDFC Bank closed at INR 738.60 on the NSE on September 22, 2026, with a daily change of minus 0.12 percent. Market capitalization was approximately INR 1,138,678 crore and trading volume reached 39,158,442 shares on that date.
