Loan growth remains healthy: For 1QFY2013, HDFC's loan book grew by healthy 19.4% yoy to Rs.148,262cr. Approvals in 1QFY2013 stood at Rs.22,838cr (up 17.0% yoy), while disbursements stood at Rs.15,552cr (up 20.0% yoy). HDFC's asset quality continued to remain stable during 1QFY2013, with gross NPA ratio falling by 4bp yoy to 0.79%. On a six-month overdue basis, gross NPA ratio stood at 0.49%. Gross NPAs grew by 15.5% yoy to Rs.1,190cr. HDFC continued to maintain a 100% provision coverage ratio for 1QFY2013, similar to 4QFY2012. HDFC's net interest income (NII) rose by healthy 26.0% yoy to Rs.1,258cr. HDFC's pace of deposit accretion has accelerated over the last year, growing by 31.0% yoy compared to overall loan fund growth of 16.4% yoy, which is expected to sustain healthy NII growth going ahead. For 1QFY2013, the bank's other income decreased by 4.1% yoy to Rs.296cr primarily due to lower income from surplus from MFs (down 52.4% yoy). Fee income increased by 7.7% yoy and profit on sale of investments increased by 24.5% yoy. Income from dividends also came in higher by 20.7% yoy.

Outlook and valuation: At the CMP, HDFC's core business (after adjusting Rs.232/share towards the value of its subsidiaries) is trading at 3.6x FY2014E ABV of Rs.126.9 (including subsidiaries, the stock is trading at 3.8x FY2014E ABV of Rs.176.9). We expect HDFC to post a healthy PAT CAGR of 18.5% over FY2012-14E. However, considering that the stock is currently trading at 3.8x one-year forward P/ABV and at a 51.6% premium to the Sensex in P/E terms (compared to an average of 37.9% since FY2006), we consider the stock to be fully valued and, hence, recommend Neutral on the stock.
