HDFC Bank Q1 Misses Estimates Despite 5% Profit Growth

HDFC Bank reported a 5% YoY rise in Q1 FY27 standalone net profit to ₹19,060 crore, while NII increased 6.7% to ₹33,536 crore. However, both figures fell short of Street estimates. The bank's NIM stood at 3.26% on total assets and 3.40% on interest-earning assets, indicating margin pressure despite steady earnings growth.
