A bank's deposits are its raw material, not borrowings. Debt to equity computed over a deposit-funded balance sheet says nothing about solvency. Use the equity to assets ratio instead.

n/m Computed

FY2025 accounts, priced at the latest close

Why n/m

For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.

The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 16.97x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits between 15.00x and 25.00x.

Today, against the Banks - Regional industry (277 companies), 16.97x sits at the 80th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 11.79x to 16.19x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 8.8% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Ordinary" (8.0% to 15.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.

Today, against the Banks - Regional industry (299 companies), 8.8% sits at the 42nd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 6.5% to 11.6%.

Year by year against peers: Whether HDFC Bank Limited's revenue growth, five years stayed above the median of the Banks - Regional industry, year by year. (FY2016 to FY2025, 10 fiscal years of HDFC Bank Limited with a comparable figure)

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 10 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2025, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 15, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 15, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.

The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.

The named tests

Of 30 tests value investors published: 0 met, 14 not met, 16 we could not complete. Counts, never a score: a single figure would have to decide that meeting one investor’s criteria and meeting another’s are worth the same.

Which tests, by name(all 30)

Meets: None of the named tests.
Does not: Deep value; Large cap, low P/E; High F-score, low P/B (Joseph Piotroski); Low PEG, low debt (Peter Lynch); High returns and growth; Low beta, profitable; High returns, low debt; High return on tangibles; Low P/S, rising earnings (James O'Shaughnessy); Book or below, low debt (Walter Schloss); Tangible book or below; Cheapest quarter on P/E (David Dreman); Cheapest quarter on P/B (David Dreman); Low P/E, growth, yield (John Neff)
Not measured: Defensive investor (Benjamin Graham); Earnings yield and ROIC (Joel Greenblatt); Three forensic scores; Gross margin, turnover (Robert Novy-Marx); EV/EBITDA and coverage; High yield, low payout; Dividends and buybacks; ROIC at or above WACC; Near the 52-week low; Z-score and coverage (Edward Altman); Two thirds of NCAV (Benjamin Graham); P/E times P/B (Benjamin Graham); Owner earnings yield; Cash-covered dividend; Cash-flow yield and ROIC; Clean books, high ROIC. A test with a figure we could not read is incomplete, never met and never failed.

Figures we could not read(22)

Current Ratio: Banks and insurers present an unclassified balance sheet under Regulation S-X, with no split between current and non-current. A current ratio needs that split, so there is none to show.
Debt to Equity: A bank's deposits are its raw material, not borrowings. Debt to equity computed over a deposit-funded balance sheet says nothing about solvency. Use the equity to assets ratio instead.
Positive Earnings Streak: The latest filed year has no per-share earnings we can read; the test needs 10.
Piotroski F-Score: 4 of the nine Piotroski signals are undefined for a bank: signal 5 (falling long-term leverage), signal 6 (rising current ratio), signal 8 (rising gross margin), signal 9 (rising asset turnover). We do not publish a partial score under the full score's name.
EV/EBIT: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Return on Invested Capital: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
Altman Z-Score: Altman's Z-Score was estimated on manufacturers and explicitly excludes financial firms. A financial company scores in the distress zone by construction, so the number would be wrong rather than alarming. Not applicable to financials.
Beneish M-Score: The Beneish M-Score is built on gross margin, receivables and asset quality indices estimated on non-financial firms. Those inputs are not defined here.
Eps Growth 5Y: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Gross Margin: This filer reports no gross profit line, so there is no gross margin to compute. Banks, insurers and REITs do not present cost of revenue.
Asset Turnover: A lender's assets are loans and securities that earn interest, not plant used to produce sales. Revenue over assets is not a turnover measure here.
EV/EBITDA: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Interest Coverage: Interest is what a lender pays for its inventory of money, not a financing charge sitting below the operating line. Interest coverage is not defined for lenders.
Dividend Yield: The newest cash flow statement on file ended more than fifteen months ago, so it says nothing about today's yield.
Free Cash Flow Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Share Count Change Yoy: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
ROIC-WACC Spread: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
Price To Ncav: Net current asset value needs current assets, which an unclassified balance sheet does not report.
Price To Graham: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Owner Earnings Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Capex To Ocf: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Dividend Coverage Ratio: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.

What to do with what you have read.

Value it in the DCF workbench

A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.

What this cannot tell you

22 figures could not be read on this company, among them Current Ratio, Debt to Equity, Positive Earnings Streak. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 16 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.

And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.

Running this once is arithmetic on public documents and you are welcome to it. Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.
