HDFC Bank shares were marginally higher on Friday, gaining 0.14 per cent to ₹727.90 on the NSE as of 1.09 IST, a day before the bank is set to announce its Q2FY27 results. The stock opened at ₹727.90, touched an intraday high of ₹734.90 and a low of ₹726.05, against a previous close of ₹726.85.

Selling pressure was at its most intense this week, with 77.11 per cent of traded volume, 27,13,736 units, on the sell side, against just 22.89 per cent on the buy side. Traded volume stood at 218.24 lakh units, with traded value at ₹1,594.24 crore, the highest in this week’s trading sessions. Market capitalisation rose to ₹11,22,473.89 crore. The adjusted P/E stood at 13.99.

Bank Nifty opened near 55,927 on Friday, with 56,000–56,100 acting as immediate resistance and 55,000–55,200 as key support. The RSI remains in the mid-40s, suggesting momentum has yet to turn decisively bullish.

The stock has risen 2.92 per cent over the week, recovering ground from its September lows. Year-to-date, however, it remains down 26.56 per cent, well below its 52-week high of ₹1,020.50.

All eyes now turn to Saturday’s Q2FY27 results, with investors focused on net interest margins, credit growth trajectory and management commentary on the RBI’s ongoing rate-tightening cycle.
