Diwan told CNBC-TV18, “SBI numbers allay all the fears that we had, particularly the NPA was a concerned and that’s what comes through, but except for the treasury loss that has been a slight disappointment. I think numbers are very much in line with expectation, but the stock should see some kind of a profit booking from hereon. It’s just kind of valid, the kind of run up that we have already seen for the last few days, I think we should expect some sort of a profit being taken of.”
