SBI reported FY25 net profit of INR 70,901 crore, up 16.08% YoY, driven by strong credit growth of 12% and stable asset quality with slippage ratio of 0.55%. Domestic advances grew 11.56% led by SME (16.86%) and agriculture (14.29%), while corporate growth was impacted by unexpected prepayments from PSUs. Deposit growth was 9.48% with CASA ratio near 40%. The bank maintained ROA above 1% and ROE above 19%. Management guided for 12-13% credit growth in FY26, NIM protection around 3% despite rate cuts, and cost-to-income below 50-51%. Key risks include margin compression from repo rate cuts and potential impact from the Bhushan Power & Steel Supreme Court judgment.
SBI ने वित्त वर्ष 2025 में 70,901 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध लाभ कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 16.08% ज़्यादा है। यह मुनाफा कर्ज देने में 12% बढ़ोतरी और कम बुरे कर्ज (सिर्फ 0.55% फिसलन दर) की वजह से हुआ। छोटे और मझोले उद्योगों (SME) को 16.86% और किसानों को 14.29% ज़्यादा कर्ज दिया गया। बैंक की जमा राशि 9.48% बढ़ी और बचत व चालू खाते (CASA) का हिस्सा 40% के करीब रहा। बैंक ने अपनी कमाई पर 1% से ज़्यादा रिटर्न (ROA) और 19% से ज़्यादा इक्विटी पर रिटर्न (ROE) बनाए रखा। आगे बैंक 12-13% कर्ज वृद्धि और ब्याज दरों में कटौती के बावजूद 3% के आसपास मार्जिन बचाने की उम्मीद करता है। मुख्य जोखिम: रेपो दर कटौती से मार्जिन कम होना और भूपावर पावर एंड स्टील मामले में सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले का असर।

Our idea is our focus is always to strengthen our balance sheet and also create a consistency in our performance. It's not about one quarter, we try to ensure, but our preference is that if any costs are visualized, let us take them upfront.
We strongly believe that if SBI has a growth rate of 10-11% on the balance sheet basis, which means that SBI gets doubled every six to seven years.
Our focus would be mainly on how do we increase the income, while the cost rigidity, particularly on the employee side, will remain.
