SBI reported Q2 FY24 PAT of INR 14,330 crore (+8% YoY), with domestic NIM at 3.43% (down 12bps YoY) due to higher deposit costs. Operating profit fell 8% YoY to INR 19,407 crore, impacted by a INR 3,417 crore additional wage provision. Asset quality improved: GNPA at 2.55% (lowest in 10+ years), credit cost at 0.22%. Domestic advances grew 13.2% YoY, led by SME (+22.75%) and retail (+15.68%). Management expects NIM compression of 3-5bps more, then stabilization. Loan growth guidance of 12-14% is supported by a strong pipeline (INR 4.8 trillion). Key risk: potential RBI risk weight increase on small-ticket unsecured loans, though SBI's exposure is minimal.
SBI ने दूसरी तिमाही में 14,330 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध लाभ कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 8% ज्यादा है। ब्याज से होने वाली कमाई का अनुपात 3.43% रहा, जो पिछले साल से थोड़ा कम है, क्योंकि जमा पर ब्याज देने की लागत बढ़ी है। परिचालन लाभ 8% घटकर 19,407 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जिसकी वजह कर्मचारियों के वेतन के लिए 3,417 करोड़ रुपये का अतिरिक्त प्रावधान है। कर्ज की गुणवत्ता बेहतर हुई है - फंसे कर्ज का अनुपात 2.55% है, जो 10 साल में सबसे कम है। छोटे और मझोले उद्योगों को दिए कर्ज में 22.75% और खुदरा कर्ज में 15.68% की बढ़ोतरी हुई। बैंक को उम्मीद है कि ब्याज कमाई में थोड़ी और गिरावट आएगी, फिर स्थिर होगी। कर्ज देने का लक्ष्य 12-14% रखा गया है।
