Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd trades at ₹195, losing momentum at the top and 3 weeks into that stage. That is −5.5% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 38% of a 52-week range of ₹168 to ₹239. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is losing momentum at the top — week 3 of stage 3, confirmed. At ₹195 it trades −5.5% versus its 200-day average and sits at 38% of its 52-week range (₹168–₹239).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 9.2 years the stock moved +169% while the NIFTY 500 moved +189% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-03) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each ₹1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd trades at 1.8× P/BV, mid-range by its own standards (67th percentile). Its long-run median P/BV is 0.8×, measured across 7.9 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/BV of 1.8× is mid-range by its own standards (67th percentile), against a long-run median of 0.8× measured over 7.9 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −7.3% — the price ran ahead of the book, pushing the multiple up its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +33.9%/yr price move, ~+6.5%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+27.4 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus book-value growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

Stage: Consistent Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROE at 18.4% and holding. The read is built from 11 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

4-Factor Sector Score

61.6/100 — rank 3 of 13 in Finance - Housing · 88% evidence confidence

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd scores 61.6 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Finance - Housing, ranking 3. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -4.7% and the one-year return is -10.8%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 28.5 + 17.1 + 12.4 + 3.6 = 61.6. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fee and other income.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd reported ₹3,717 Cr of income in the Jun 26 quarter, +26.6% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 14.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹13,150 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹13,930 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹13,150 Cr (+27.1% on the year), capping 10 years at 14.9% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹3,717 Cr, +26.6% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +26.0% growth against the decade's 14.9% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +25.9% over the last 4 quarters against +30.9%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +52.9% vs +38.2%/yr — accelerating.

Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every ₹100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. It is the cleanest single margin we can read for a lender.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd's net margin is 22.9% in the Jun 26 quarter, +1.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 21.1% to 30.7%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's net margin is 22.9%, +1.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged 21.1%–30.7%, and FY26's 30.7% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd earned ₹851 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +35.1% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹4,034 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 17.8%. That is 22.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹630 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹851 Cr, +35.1% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹4,034 Cr (+48.9%), and the 10-year compound rate is 17.8%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +26.6% and the margin +1.4 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +51.8% vs revenue +26.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.

Loan-book quality history is not available for Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd, so this section names the gap rather than estimating a ratio. No gross or net non-performing-asset series is filed in a form this page can read, and none is inferred from the profit line.

We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for this bank, so this section states that plainly rather than working around it.

Why: loan-book quality is the engine room of a bank, and its drivers — slippages, recoveries, provisioning — sit below what we hold for this name; the sections around it carry the reads we can stand behind.

The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book grows, revenue grows with it. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd's revenue grew +27.1% in FY26 to ₹13,150 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +26.6% year on year. The net margin on that income is 22.9%, +1.4 percentage points against a year ago.

FY26 revenue was ₹13,150 Cr, +27.1% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +26.6% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 22.9% this quarter (+1.4 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — gross NPA is the loan-quality read we carry here.

Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd earns a return on equity of 20% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was 9% in FY17. For a lender the balance sheet is the operating asset, so equity return and asset return have to be read together.

FY26 ROE came in at 20%, recovered from a FY17 trough of 9%. On assets, the latest reading is about null% — every ₹100 the bank deploys earns roughly null a year. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.

Why ROE moved: profit compounded 17.8% a year over 10 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.

Debt

For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.

A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Domestic institutions cut 1.6 points of Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 10.1% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.3 points over the same window, to 2.4%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −1.6 points over 8 quarters to 10.1%; Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 2.4%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−1.6 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.
