What do Analysts Say?

Prabhudas Lilladher said while SBI saw a mixed quarter, the management sounded confident about maintaining core profitability driven by stronger underwriting, lower net slippages, multi-year low GNPAs and healthy standard asset provision cushion of 80 bps which could more than suffice for ECL impact. This brokerage has increased the target price for the stock to Rs 770 from Rs 730 earlier.

BofA Securities maintained a buy rating on SBI with a target price of Rs 1030. The spending outlook remains strong. Travel spending remains healthy with overseas spending yet to fully normalize.

Some moderation was seen in fuel, departmental store, and grocery spending post Rs 2,000 notes withdrawal by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The focus remains on maintaining and improving retail spending market share.

Credit costs are likely to stay elevated in Q1 with continued clean-up of vulnerable vintage accounts. Credit card integration with UPI should act as a further growth acceleration.
