Long
NSE:IDFCFIRSTB   IDFC FIRST BANK
IDFC First Q1 Result.
Impressive performance across the board! Deposits up 44% YoY, Advances up 25% YoY, Profits up 61% YoY. Net NPA down to 0.7% (Which is very good indication). ROA at 1.24% vs 0.97% YoY. QoQ net income down -731 Cr. vs 816 Cr. in Q4FY23, but excluding a one-off income of 180-200 cr. from the last quarter, results are still better on a QoQ basis.

Why to Invest in IDFC first ?
They are many reasons to invest in IDFC Bank, but trading in this company seems risky and tricky right now. However, if you are someone who believes in the narrative that for India to grow, the banking sector would have to follow the same path, then undervalued and growing banks will benefit the most. Stocks like IDFC First Bank are more likely to double their Market Cap. So, if you are a long-term and serious investor like me, this analysis will help you.

Why to Avoid Trading ?
Now, let's discuss why trading this stock is currently considerably risky. The stock is trading near 200% of its support level, following a special channel pattern known as a big-length rectangle pattern, which makes it riskier from a trading perspective.

How to Invest ?
We plan to take a longer position in this stock. As visible from the chart, the stock has tested its resistance on a weekly timeframe. As, we all know Q1 results are out, Earnings have been impressive, indicating a potential strong breakout with good volume. If that happens, we'll invest half of our money and wait for a retracement before putting in the rest. But, if the stock falls instead of breaking out, it'll be a great opportunity to invest, and in that case, we'll wait for a consolidation.
