Markets expects HDFC’s assets under management to grow 9.3 per cent on-year in the March quarter aided by strong demand conditions.
HDFC, in its quarterly update, had said that the individual loans segment continued to see strong improvements after suffering in the June quarter of the previous financial year due to national lockdown.
During the quarter, HDFC assigned loans to
worth to Rs 7,503 crore compared to Rs. 5,479 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
“Expect growth to remain healthy in individual home loan disbursements; developer finance books to grow at a slower pace,” said brokerage firm Axis Capital. The brokerage firm said that the company’s margins may come under pressure due to relatively lower yields.
Investors will watch out for the company’s commentary on the housing loan market and the impact of the second wave of Covid-19 on demand so far.
