State Bank of India (SBI) unveiled its Q1 results today reporting net profit in Q1FY24 zooms 178% to ₹16,884 crore from ₹6,068 crore, YoY. The largest state-run lender in the country net interest income in the quarter ended June 2023 rose 24.5% to ₹38,904 crore from ₹31,195.9 crore, YoY.

The SBI share price commenced at ₹594.90 each, nearly 1% higher on the BSE in anticipation of the Q1 results on Friday. However, it later fell to ₹585.95 at 1:30pm, showing a decrease from the previous day's closing price of ₹590.60.

SBI's net interest margin is 3.47%

The bank witnessed a notable 13.9% rise in its gross loans compared to the previous year, coupled with a 12% increase in deposits, driven particularly by term deposits which offer more favourable returns.

Provisions and contingencies experienced a significant decline of 43% year-on-year, amounting to ₹2,501 crore. This figure marked a decrease from the ₹3,316 crore reported in the January-March period.

SBI's gross non-performing assets (NPA) ratio, a critical measure of asset quality, dropped to 2.76% from the previous quarter's 2.78% and a substantial reduction from 3.91% recorded a year ago. In contrast, the net NPA ratio saw a marginal increase to 0.71% from 0.67% in the preceding three months.
