HDFC Bank Limited (ADR) (HDB)

CAPS Rating:

A private sector bank and financial services company in India with three principal business activities: retail banking, wholesale banking and treasury operations.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Nothing new to add here that has not already been said. If you do not understand why a bank in India has a good chance of outperforming the S&P, then you need to either do a lot of research on the topic or stop investing entirely.
