Priority sector sub-targets may require inorganic compliance
Management admitted that organic achievement of small and marginal farmer and weaker section sub-targets is challenging, especially after HDFC home loan book inclusion, necessitating inorganic purchases.
High-cost bond maturities could pressure profitability
The bank faces maturities of high-cost borrowings from erstwhile HDFC Limited starting FY25, which may temporarily constrain growth and margins until replaced with lower-cost deposits.
Lack of specific guidance may lead to market uncertainty
Management explicitly refused to provide quantitative guidance on key metrics like NIM, loan growth, or deposit growth, which could lead to analyst estimate dispersion and stock volatility.
