SBI Q3 results 2024 expectations
On SBI Q3 results expectations, Shreyansh Shah, Research Analyst at StoxBox said, “We expect the banking elephant SBI to come out with a good set of numbers in Q3FY24. Though some marginal decline in NIMs is expected from the PSB due to the ongoing high cost of funds, we anticipate the bank’s absolute profitability to witness mid-teen-digit growth in the current quarter on account of high disbursals of advances backed by elevated infra spends. Furthermore, the bank has a large share in the salary account, and the CASA and the CD ratio would not show signs of concern. The highlight of this quarter’s numbers would be seen in the significant growth in its other income backed by the bank’s focus on optimizing its vast branch network of 22,405 for cross-selling opportunities.”
Expecting SBI to beat challenges posed by the rising cost of funding, Sandeep Pandey, Founder & Director at Basav Capital said, “Due to the Government of India’s focus on infrastructure and rising government expenditure in the segment, the corporate lending business of the Indian banking major is expected to enable SBI to maintain the profitability in Q3FY24.”
The former Deputy Vice President of the HDFC Bank went on to add that a rise in business volume is expected to lend support to the largest public sector bank of India in meeting the challenges on the CASA front in the post-high interest rate regime.
“With lower slippages seen in FY24 to date, we anticipate the momentum to continue with credit cost continuing to be below the targeted 1% mark and expect RoAs to improve going forward. The only factor that may act as a spoilsport would be the bank’s expected higher provisions due to wage revision,” said Shreyansh Shah of StoxBox.
