HDFC Bank announced its Q1 FY26 results with standalone net profit rising about 12% year-on-year to Rs. 18,155 crore on total income of Rs. 99,200 crore, with basic EPS of Rs. 23.71. Asset quality remained healthy with gross NPAs at 1.40% and net NPAs at 0.47%, while the capital adequacy ratio stood strong at 19.88%. The Board declared a Special Interim Dividend of Rs. 5 per equity share (pre-bonus) with a record date of July 25, 2025 and payment on August 11, 2025. In a landmark move, the Board also approved a 1:1 bonus share issue, effectively doubling the share count, with the record date set for August 27, 2025, to be funded from the Securities Premium Account. The quarter also included a Rs. 9,128 crore net gain from the HDB Financial Services IPO offer-for-sale, with the bank's stake in HDBFS falling from 94.32% to 74.19%.
Strong shareholder rewards through a special dividend and a rare 1:1 bonus issue, signalling robust capital strength and management confidence. The bonus issue is likely to trigger a short-term price adjustment to reflect the higher share count, but should improve liquidity and retail accessibility of the stock.
