LKP Research's research report on State Bank of India
State Bank of India (SBI) delivered a decent quarterly performance supported by healthy growth in its business and sustained profitability. The bank’s NIM moderated on higher cost of deposits and is expected to remain range bound in the near term as deposit rates are expected to remain sticky despite recent repo rate cut. However, the impact of rate cut on margins is expected to be minimal due to its lower share of repo linked loans. Further, the bank’s asset quality continues to remain strong, in a challenging macro environment with prudent provisioning policies and tightening underwriting. Additionally, the bank’s operating efficiency improved, partly aiding profitability.
Outlook
Hence, with a strong balance sheet position and an optimistic economic outlook, we assign BUY rating on the stock with a Sumof-the-Parts (SOTP)-based target price of ₹907.
