HDFC Bank Stock Surges 17% In 10 Days From 52-Week Low As Improving Operations Renew Investors’ Interest

Shares of HDFC Bank have rebounded nearly 20% in nine trading sessions, adding around ₹2 lakh crore to the lender's market capitalisation as concerns over leadership and governance issues ease. The stock has gained more than 17% in the past 10 days, drawing fresh investor interest after a prolonged period of weakness.

HDFC Bank share price fell to a 52-week low of ₹669.20 apiece on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) towards the end of October. They subsequently climbed to ₹801.90 on Monday, 9 November 2026, marking the highest level for the month.

At 10:55 am today, HDFC Bank shares were up 1.97% on the NSE.

Recovery Follows Resignation Of Atanu Chakraborty

HDFC share price recovery follows a sharp sell-off earlier this year after former part-time Chairman Atanu Chakraborty resigned. In his resignation letter, Chakraborty said certain practices within the bank did not align with his personal values and ethics.

His departure raised questions about corporate governance and triggered selling pressure in the stock.

Factors Driving Rally

The stock has started recovering as concerns over the bank's leadership ease. Improving business performance has also helped bring investor attention back.

The bank's second-quarter net interest margins appear to have reached a trough, while operating productivity has improved. Retail and micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) lending momentum has also picked up.

The bank's loan mix is also showing improvement. Floating-rate loans make up a larger share of its portfolio. Also, retail and MSME loans, which generally offer better yields, are gaining ground.

Analysts also point to improving operating efficiency as a factor supporting the recovery in earnings. They believe the combination of better business momentum and easing management concerns could mark an important phase for the lender.

Further Upside Potential

Analysts still believe that the stock has more room to recover further despite the recent rise in HDFC Bank’s price.

Better operating performance and stronger retail and MSME lending have added to its growth prospects. Market watchers feel the benefits of these improvements may take time to show fully.
