The times have never been more challenging for the top two private sector
banks ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. Their stocks have underperformed
the Sensex since the start of the market meltdown in January '08. The
recent interest rate hike by the RBI indicates that the going can be much
tougher in the coming quarters. ET Intelligence Group compares the
performance of both banks and evaluates the prospects of investing in
them.

54
 55 | P a g e

PERFORMANCE
HDFC Bank reported over 30 per cent y-o-y growth in net profit in the June
'08 quarter. The stability in earnings growth of HDFC Bank is much higher
than that of ICICI Bank. The gap in the profit growth between the two banks
was not high till the March '08 quarter. But ICICI started showing signs of a
slowdown in its retail loan book in the March '08 quarter itself. This was
evident as HDFC Bank posted a growth of 39 per cent in its retail advances
in FY08, while ICICI managed to grow its retail advances by only 15 per
cent (before securitization). This shows that only better expense
management helped ICICI to post high profit growth in the quarter ended
March '08.
5.3 RECOMMENDATION
ICICI Bank and HDFC bank has to improve its brand image, i.e.it has to
position itself in the minds of prospects in a better way in comparisons
to others.
It should provide better career opportunities for the retention of its
potential advisors.
Further it has to provide training to its recruited advisors by good
and efficient training methods, which might be a little bit customized if
needed.
It should more emphasize in advertising, as it is the most powerful tool
to position and brand in the mindsets of customers.
It should provide online training and for those who are in jobs
and want to become advisors ICICI should provide evening training
classes, so that they can join the training after doing their jobs.
