State Bank of India

SBIN
Banks - PSU

State Bank of India is printing record margins on a fuller multiple. From here the earnings must do all the lifting.

The sharpest disagreement: Promoters moved −2.1 points over 8 quarters while the operating story went the other way — someone close to the numbers is not convinced.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (70 weeks in) while the P/BV sits at the 69th percentile of its own 11-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +13.6% year on year, and gross NPA has eased to 1.57%. What settles it: whether the register turns back in the story’s favour.

Withheld from this page: Part of this page is deliberately not drawn: its two data sources disagree by up to 40% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so nothing from the second source is placed here — the PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, the quarterly return-on-equity and return-on-assets curves, the annual return-on-assets overlay and the F-score are absent for that reason. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data. The quarterly history also begins where the primary source begins: 6 earlier quarters the second source carries are not spliced in front of it. Extending a reported profit series is stricter than showing a ratio chart — it needs a source that has been checked.
01 · Price story

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

State Bank of India trades at ₹983, in a confirmed uptrend and 70 weeks into that stage. That is −2.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 13% of a 52-week range of ₹949 to ₹1,216. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 70 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹983 it trades −2.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 13% of its 52-week range (₹949–₹1,216).

Sep 26: ₹983 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Feb 16Sep 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.6 years the stock moved +531% while the NIFTY 500 moved +268% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-08-28) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

02 · Valuation

Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each ₹1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.

State Bank of India trades at 1.5× P/BV, mid-range by its own standards (69th percentile). Its long-run median P/BV is 1.3×, measured across 10.6 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/BV of 1.5× is mid-range by its own standards (69th percentile), against a long-run median of 1.3× measured over 10.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +14.7% — the price ran ahead of the book, pushing the multiple up its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +17.4%/yr price move, ~+15.8%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+1.6 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +14.5%/yr price move, ~+8.8%/yr came from book-value growth and ~+5.7 pp from the multiple (expanding). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus book-value growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.

The PEG ratio and its quarterly curve, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 40% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

03 · What the price assumes

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, State Bank of India was paying for profit growth of about 3.6% a year. Profit itself has compounded 20.9% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 1.5× P/BV, the 69th percentile of its own 11-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 25 September 2026. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements.

04 · Stage: Consistent

Stage: Consistent Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

State Bank of India reads as consistent on its fundamental arc. Consistent — revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive through the window, with ROE at 15.0% and holding. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: steady curves with healthy returns are the compounding setup — the risk is the price, not the business.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

47.5/100 — rank 7 of 10 in Banks - PSU · 84% evidence confidence

State Bank of India scores 47.5 out of 100 against the 10 companies it is compared with in Banks - PSU, ranking 7. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 13.3 + 13.6 + 10.6 + 10 = 47.5. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

06 · Revenue

Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fee and other income.

State Bank of India reported ₹1,36,240 Cr of income in the Jun 26 quarter, +8.4% year on year. That is the 11th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 8.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹5,14,933 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹5,25,746 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹5,14,933 Cr (+5.0% on the year), capping 10 years at 8.8% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹1,36,240 Cr, +8.4% year on year — the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +5.5% growth against the decade's 8.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +5.5% over the last 4 quarters against +7.4%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +8.6% vs +12.7%/yr — rolling over.

07 · Net margin

Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every ₹100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. It is the cleanest single margin we can read for a lender.

State Bank of India's net margin is 18.4% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −1.6% to 16.8%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's net margin is 18.4%, +0.8 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −1.6%–16.8%, and FY26's 16.8% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

08 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

State Bank of India earned ₹25,121 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +13.6% year on year. It is the 5th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹86,666 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 20.9%. That is 18.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹22,121 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹25,121 Cr, +13.6% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹86,666 Cr (+7.6%), and the 10-year compound rate is 20.9%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +8.4% and the margin +0.8 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +8.6% vs revenue +5.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.

09 · Asset quality — the ladder

Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.

State Bank of India's gross NPA is 1.57% of the loan book in Dec 25, down from 2.07% a year ago. Net of provisions already set aside, 0.39% remains. That is the 2nd straight quarter of improvement. Across the 10 quarters held here the book has ranged 1.57% to 2.53%.

Dec 25: gross NPA at 1.57% and net NPA at 0.39%, against 2.07% / 0.53% a year ago. Over the 10 quarters we hold, the book's worst reading was 2.53% and its best is 1.57% — which is the current print. The ladder has now improved for 2 consecutive quarters.

Fiscal-year ends: gross NPA 2.24% (Mar 24) → 1.82% (Mar 25) Gross and net NPA at each fiscal-year end, % of the loan book (lines). 2 year-ends held. The gap between the two lines is the share already provided for.

The synthesis: profit growth at a bank is only as good as the book behind it, and this book is healing on a multi-quarter streak. A note on depth: quarterly provisioning detail is not in our numbers yet, so this ladder reads levels and trend, not the cost of the cleanup.

Why the ladder moved: recoveries, write-offs and slippages each play a part, and that split sits below what we hold — the numbers show the healing; the driver mix does not travel with them.

10 · The loan book

The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book grows, revenue grows with it. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.

State Bank of India's revenue grew +5.0% in FY26 to ₹5,14,933 Cr, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +8.4% year on year. The net margin on that income is 18.4%, +0.8 percentage points against a year ago. Interest income is a proxy for the book; rate moves can shift it a few points in any one year.

FY26 revenue was ₹5,14,933 Cr, +5.0% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +8.4% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 18.4% this quarter (+0.8 pp YoY) — growth with a widening margin on it.

The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — gross NPA is the loan-quality read we carry here.

11 · Returns on equity and assets

Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.

State Bank of India earns a return on equity of 15% in FY26. Its trough over the ladder below was −2% in FY18. For a lender the balance sheet is the operating asset, so equity return and asset return have to be read together.

FY26 ROE came in at 15%, recovered from a FY18 trough of −2%. Return on assets is withheld on this page — its two source series disagree for this quarter. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.

Why ROE moved: profit compounded 20.9% a year over 10 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.

The quarterly return-on-equity and return-on-assets curves, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 40% on reported income across 15 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

12 · Debt

Debt

For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.

A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.

13 · Ownership

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Domestic institutions added 2.9 points of State Bank of India over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 26.5% of the company. Promoters moved −2.1 points over the same window, to 55.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +2.9 points over 8 quarters to 26.5%; Promoters: −2.1 points over 8 quarters to 55.5%; Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 10.8%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+2.9 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−2.1 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −2.0 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

14 · Safety line

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

State Bank of India: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
