Finance and insurance company major HDFC will report its fourth-quarter earnings on Monday and analysts expect the firm's net profit will grow by 22 percent Q0Q.

Quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) analysts expect the net interest income to be up about 2.6 percent while net profit can grow by 22 percent.

In Q3, HDFC's disbursement has come down due to pressure from the real estate sector and analysts expect there will be an improvement in Q4, especially in the housing finance sector.

The street expects stability in net interest margin will be positive. Cost of funds for housing finance companies (HFCs) has increased tremendously and for HDFC, last time, the net interest margin was at 3.5 percent.

The loan growth should be around 14-15 percent. In the last quarter, it was at a multi-quarter low of 14.8 percent.

The company's gross non-performing asset (NPA) below 1.25 or 1.3 percent will be positive.
