2-Minute Summary
SBI reported a strong Q1 FY26 with net profit of INR 19,160 crore, up 12.48% YoY, driven by robust retail growth and cost containment. Domestic credit grew 11.06% YoY, with home loans up 15% on a large base. Net NPA improved to 0.47%, down 10bps YoY. Management reiterated NIM guidance of 3% for FY26, expecting a U-shaped trajectory with improvement from Q3. The bank completed a landmark INR 25,000 crore QIP, boosting CET-1. Key risks include potential asset quality stress in Xpress Credit (GNPA rising to 1.2% on a flat book) and uncertainty from global tariff disruptions, though direct exposure is minimal. Overall, the bank remains confident of delivering ROE above 15% and ROA above 1%.
SBI ने वित्त वर्ष 2026 की पहली तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का शुद्ध लाभ 19,160 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल की समान तिमाही से 12.48% अधिक है। यह वृद्धि रिटेल लोन में मजबूती और खर्चों पर नियंत्रण से हुई। देश में कर्ज 11.06% बढ़ा, जिसमें होम लोन 15% बढ़ा। बैंक के फंसे कर्ज (NPA) में सुधार हुआ और यह 0.47% रह गया। बैंक ने चालू वित्त वर्ष के लिए ब्याज दर (NIM) 3% रहने का अनुमान दिया है। उसने 25,000 करोड़ रुपये का QIP पूरा किया, जिससे पूंजी मजबूत हुई। जोखिम की बात करें तो एक्सप्रेस क्रेडिट में कर्ज वसूली पर दबाव है, लेकिन कुल मिलाकर बैंक को 15% से अधिक रिटर्न (ROE) और 1% से अधिक संपत्ति पर रिटर्न (ROA) की उम्मीद है।
