Date time format in PowerShell returning incorrect date in powershell

I want to change text 11.30 to time format 11:30 using [datetime] in powershell

$Stime = "11.30"
$time = "{00:hh:mm}" -f [datetime]$Stime
Write-Host $time

This code returns value 12:00

I tried this too - 

$fromtime = "11.30"
[datetime]$fromtime12hrFormat = ([datetime]$fromtime)
$fromtime12hrFormat.ToString("hh:mm:ss")

This code returns value 12:00

"11.30" cast to [datetime] with en-US locale will be interpreted as "November 30" at midnight.

Use DateTime.ParseExact() instead:

'{0:HH:mm}' -f [datetime]::ParseExact($Stime, 'HH.mm', $null)
