SBI delivered a strong Q2 FY25 with PAT of INR 18,331 crore (+28% YoY), driven by robust credit growth of 14.93% YoY and stable asset quality (slippage ratio 0.51%, credit cost 0.38%). Domestic advances grew 15.55% YoY, led by corporate (18%), agri (17%), and SME (17%). Deposits crossed INR 50 trillion milestone, though growth lagged at 9.13% YoY. Management reiterated 14-16% credit growth guidance and expects deposit growth to improve to 10-10.5%. Margins are expected to remain stable with MCLR hikes providing cushion. Key risk: potential stress in unsecured lending segments (Xpress Credit growth slowed to 7% YoY) and elevated SMA-1 book, though management sees recovery in H2.
SBI ने दूसरी तिमाही में 18,331 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध लाभ कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 28% ज्यादा है। इसकी वजह कर्ज देने में 14.93% की बढ़ोतरी और कम बुरे कर्ज (सिर्फ 0.51% नए बुरे कर्ज) रहना है। कंपनी ने कारोबार, खेती और छोटे कारोबारों को ज्यादा कर्ज दिया। जमा 50 लाख करोड़ रुपये पार कर गई, लेकिन बढ़त सिर्फ 9.13% रही। प्रबंधन का कहना है कि कर्ज 14-16% और जमा 10-10.5% बढ़ेगा। ब्याज दरों में बढ़ोतरी से मुनाफा स्थिर रहेगा। खतरा: बिना गारंटी के कर्ज में धीमी बढ़त (सिर्फ 7%) और कुछ खातों में देरी, लेकिन दूसरी छमाही में सुधार की उम्मीद है।
