Five top mutual fund houses lapped up Rs 11,400 crore worth HDFC Bank shares in January, the month the private lender stock plunged 14.44 per cent following a disappointing December quarter results. Following a nearly 10 per cent surge in December, the HDFC Bank stock took a beating in January, as analysts felt the private lender’s deposit growth needed to outpace loan growth significantly in order to reduce wholesale borrowings in funding mix but they doubted the trend to change easily, as system liquidity was tight and deposit mobilisation tough.
In total, 27 MF houses were net buyers of HDFC Bank shares in January, as per data compiled by PRIME Database. The most-valued banking stock on Dalal Street fell another 3 per cent in February so far.
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund’s holding in the private bank jumped to Rs 19,990.25 crore in January from Rs 19,074.69 crore in December, data compiled by PRIME Database suggested.

This mutual fund house was net buying of HDFC Bank shares to the tune of Rs 2,981.62 crore for the month.
Similarly, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund was a net buyer of the HDFC Bank stock at Rs 2,625.32 crore, as its holding value rose Rs 1,057.28 crore to Rs 10,694.85 crore from Rs 9,637.57 crore. PPFAS Mutual Fund and Nippon India Mutual Fund also upped stakes in HDFC Bank.
PPFAS MF bought Rs 954.99 crore HDFC Bank share sin January while Nippon India MF added Rs 893.09 crore worth bank stock. Together the five mutual funds bought Rs 11,388.92 crore worth HDFC Bank shares.
SBI Mutual Fund (down Rs 517 crore), Motilal Oswal MF (Rs 336 crore), Axis Mutual Fund (Rs 335 crore) and Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (Rs 170 crore) were some of the domestic fund houses that were net sellers of HDFC Bank shares in January.
Morgan Stanley in a note said a sharp slowdown in economic growth weighing on loan growth and resulting in higher non-performing loans, high price competitive intensity on loans/deposits and a potential risk of deeper holding company discount if RBI moves to make NOFHC mandatory are a few risks to the downside.
Upside risks to HDFC Bank included better-than-expected loan growth and margin progression, a faster-than-expected improvement in operating leverage and a lower-than-expected asset quality stress.
