SBI Reports Strong Q2 Profit Growth with Positive Brokerages Outlook
State Bank of India (SBI) reported a 14-15% year-on-year net profit growth in Q2FY27, supported by strong loan growth exceeding Rs 51 lakh crore and improved net interest income. The bank's asset quality improved with lower gross and net NPAs, while net interest margin rose above 3%. Exceptional gains from SBI Funds Management's stake sale boosted profits, though treasury and forex losses partially offset these. Brokerages like Jefferies, Motilal Oswal, and ICICI Securities maintain Buy ratings with target prices between Rs 1,225 and Rs 1,350, citing sustainable growth and manageable risks.
