SBI Reports Q1 Profit Growth, Maintains Credit and Deposit Targets for FY27
State Bank of India (SBI) reported a 10.23% year-on-year net profit rise for Q1 FY2026-27, driven by strong net interest income and advances growth. SBI expects deposit growth to pick up in Q2, supported by FCNR(B) deposits, and maintains a full-year deposit growth target of 10-11%. The bank projects credit growth of 14-15%, aligned with nominal GDP estimates, and retains a net interest margin guidance of 3%. Chairman CS Setty dismissed concerns over asset quality stress, attributing Q1 variations to seasonality and highlighting year-on-year improvements.
