HDFC Bank Share: After releasing the first quarter results of the financial year 2025, brokerage Nuvama Institutional has advised buying this leading private bank stock. The brokerage said that the business update of Q1 was weak. There has been a slight increase in net interest margin which is due to an increase in the share of retail loans. There has also been a slight decline in asset quality. This share is at the level of Rs 1607 currently.
