SBI reported a stellar Q3 FY25 with net profit surging 84% YoY to INR 16,891 crore, driven by robust credit growth of 13.49% YoY, industry-leading asset quality (slippage ratio 0.39%, credit cost 0.24%), and strong fee income. Domestic advances grew 14.06% YoY led by SME (+18%), agriculture (+15%), and corporate (+15%). Deposits rose 9.81% YoY to INR 52.29 trillion, with CASA at 39.2%. NIM compression of 13bps QoQ was due to higher cost of funds and MTM losses, but management guided NIM above 3% and credit cost at ~50bps. The corporate pipeline stands at INR 483,000 crore, supporting 14-16% credit growth guidance. Digital initiatives (YONO, AI) and budget tailwinds (tax cuts, MSME push) provide further impetus. Risk: Elevated SMA-2 (INR 7,424 crore) though largely attributed to one regularized account.
SBI ने तीसरी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। मुनाफा पिछले साल की तुलना में 84% बढ़कर 16,891 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। इसकी वजह है कर्ज देने में 13.49% की बढ़ोतरी, बेहतरीन कर्ज गुणवत्ता (जहां बुरे कर्ज का अनुपात बहुत कम 0.39% है) और मजबूत फीस आय। छोटे कारोबारों, किसानों और बड़ी कंपनियों को दिए कर्ज में 15-18% की बढ़ोतरी हुई। जमा भी बढ़कर 52.29 लाख करोड़ रुपये हो गई। ब्याज दरों में गिरावट और फंड की लागत बढ़ने से मुनाफे पर थोड़ा दबाव है, लेकिन कंपनी का कहना है कि आगे मुनाफा 3% से ऊपर रहेगा। डिजिटल सेवाओं (जैसे YONO) और सरकारी योजनाओं से भी मदद मिलेगी। हालांकि, कुछ कर्जों पर नजर रखनी होगी, लेकिन यह एक बार का मामला है।
