HDFC Bank’s share price grabbed attention today (June 26, 2025), jumping 2.16 per cent to scale a new 52-week high of Rs 2,027.40. The stock hovered around Rs 2,020 in afternoon trade, riding on a mix of market optimism and excitement surrounding its Rs 22-per-share dividend, which is just around the corner. Adding fuel to the rally is the bumper IPO of its subsidiary, HDB Financial Services.
What’s behind the move
- Dividend play: The stock is seeing action as investors position themselves ahead of the record date (June 27, 2025) for its Rs 22 dividend payout.
- Global cues: Easing geopolitical tensions and a softer dollar have lifted banking stocks across the board.
- Blockbuster IPO: HDFC Bank’s subsidiary, HDB Financial Services, went public on June 25, 2025, with its Rs 12,500 crore IPO. The highly anticipated IPO has seen a decent response so far.
