What the record says.
SBI reported Q3 FY24 PAT of ₹9,164 crore, absorbing a one-time exceptional provision of ₹7,100 crore for pension and dearness relief. Excluding this, PAT would have been significantly higher. The bank's asset quality improved further with gross NPA at 2.42% (lowest in a decade) and credit cost at 0.25%. Domestic loan growth was robust across segments: retail (+15% YoY), agri (+18%), SME (+19%), and corporate (+11%). Management guided for NIM stability (2-3 bps dip) and loan growth of 14-15% in line with nominal GDP. The bank expects ROE to exceed 20% going forward, aided by productivity gains and digital initiatives. A key risk is the elevated wage cost trajectory, though productivity improvements are expected to offset it.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects credit growth to be in line with nominal GDP plus 3-4%, targeting 14-15% for FY24.
- Margins expected to be maintained around current levels, with a maximum dip of 2-3 bps.
- Management expects ROE to sustainably exceed 20% as one-time provisions normalize and productivity improves.
- Revised valuation norms from April 2024 are expected to add ~50 bps to CET1 ratio.
Risks flagged
- Staff costs remain high due to wage revision and pension liabilities; management expects productivity gains to offset but execution risk exists.
- Deposit repricing at higher rates has pressured NIM; further compression could occur if competition intensifies.
- Strong loan growth may require capital raising if ROE does not outpace growth; management open to equity issuance.
- Recoveries from NCLT are unpredictable and depend on consortium decisions; no major lumpy recoveries expected.
Key quotes
- My dream is that this bank should generate INR 1 trillion profit.
- We are actually the top-notch. We are the best.
- I actually rate ourselves as more professional than any private sector.
