# HDFC Bank Limited (HDB) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Banks. Price $23.18, market value $119.1 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.0×** (5-yr avg 29.7×, 3-yr avg 28.8×). HDFC Bank Limited trades at 16.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 29.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 16.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 894.9%** (5-yr avg 4.7%). Free cash flow equals 894.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 4.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 6.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 36.6%**. 36.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.6%**. 8.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
