NEW YORK, April 29 – Investors tracking international banking giants saw positive movement from HDFC Bank Ltd (NYSE: HDB) during Friday’s trading session in the United States. The American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) representing shares of the prominent Indian bank finished the official trading day on a high note, reflecting investor interest in the financial institution.
HDFC Bank’s ADR closed the session at 72.43 USD, marking a solid gain of +0.59 USD, or 0.82%, for the day. This upward momentum came after the stock opened the trading session at 71.58 USD. Throughout the day, the shares demonstrated resilience, dipping to a low of 71.54 USD before rallying to reach the day’s high – and closing price – of 72.43 USD just before the closing bell at 4:54 PM EDT.
The positive close contrasts slightly with the previous day’s closing price of 71.84 USD, indicating a clear upward trajectory during the April 29th session. The intra-day chart reveals a steady climb, particularly accelerating in the afternoon hours leading up to the market close, suggesting strengthening buying interest as the day progressed.
However, slight pressure emerged in the after-hours market. Post-market data indicated a minor pullback, with the price ticking down to 72.38 USD, a decrease of 0.050 USD or 0.069% from the official close. While a dip, this movement remains minimal compared to the day’s overall gains.
From a broader perspective, HDFC Bank maintains a significant presence with a substantial market capitalization of 173.59 billion USD. This figure underscores its importance not only in its home market of India but also as a major entity tracked by global investors. For those focused on income generation, the stock offers a dividend yield of 1.07%.
Examining the stock’s recent history provides further context. The current price of 72.43 USD is trading closer to its 52-week high of 75.37 USD than its 52-week low of 54.99 USD. This positioning near the upper end of its annual range often captures the attention of technical analysts and investors looking for signs of sustained strength or potential resistance levels being tested.

Friday’s positive close adds another data point for market participants evaluating the bank’s shares amid global economic shifts and sector-specific developments. The day’s trading range between 71.54 USD and 72.43 USD highlights a session where buyers ultimately overpowered sellers to push the price higher by the close.
