SBI Q2 Results: Profit Boosted by Stake Sales
3 Nov
Summary
- SBI expects double-digit net interest income growth.
- Loan growth is projected at 18% year-on-year.
- Analysts suggest a 'Hold' rating ahead of results.
State Bank of India (SBI) is poised to release its July-September quarterly results for FY26-27 on November 3, 2026. The financial institution is projected to achieve double-digit growth in net interest income, bolstered by a robust 18% increase in loan disbursements. Net interest margins are anticipated to remain stable quarter-on-quarter, partly due to lower FCNR(B) fund mobilization.
Analysts foresee a year-on-year increase in operating profit, aided by gains from stake sales in NSE and SBI Funds Management. While asset quality is expected to remain stable with manageable slippages, key monitorables will include the trajectory of net interest margins and the impact of the Expected Credit Loss transition.
Investment recommendations are varied. One analyst suggests a 'Hold' rating, citing strong operating fundamentals but cautioning against aggressive buying due to potential margin pressures. Another analyst sees positive momentum, recommending traders maintain the stock with a specific stop-loss level.
