On May 8, 2023, shares of State Bank of India (SBI), the largest lender in India, fell 6.66% to ₹1,019, marking its lowest level in a month. This decline resulted in a loss of approximately ₹67,040 crore in market capitalization, dropping the bank's valuation to ₹9.41 lakh crore. The bank's Q4 FY26 results revealed a consolidated net profit of ₹19,684 crore, which, while a 5.58% increase year-on-year, represented a 6.39% decline from the previous quarter due to margin pressures and lower operating profitability. Operating profit decreased by 11.45% YoY, reflecting challenges in maintaining core profitability despite a 16.87% increase in total advances. Analysts noted that while asset quality improved with a Gross NPA ratio of 1.49%, the bank faces ongoing margin pressure, with net interest income rising only 4.13% YoY. Technical analysis indicates that the stock may face further declines if it falls below the critical support level of ₹972.
