“We also repurchased HDFC Bank Limited (NYSE:HDB), an India-based retail and commercial lender, formed from the merger of HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank. The former has a big mortgage business and the latter strong deposit generation, which would offer inexpensive funding for the loan book of HDFC Limited. We expect net interest margin and return on equity will revert to pre-merger levels within a few quarters. HDFC Bank has lagged its Indian peers, creating an attractive entry point into a high-quality franchise.”
