what happened
According to Moody's, State Bank of India's standalone net profit for the second quarter may rise about 45% year on year. Broker estimates vary widely, from 16.6% to 50.5%. Motilal Oswal expects a 50.5% increase to 25,250 crore rupees, while Systematix forecasts 16.6% growth to 23,539 crore rupees.
Analysts see support coming from net interest income and one-off gains from selling shares in SBI Mutual Fund and NSE. Motilal Oswal pegs net interest income growth at 11.3%, while its margin estimate of 2.83% points to a 14 basis point decline. The bank will declare results later today.
why it matters
One-off gains from share sales can distort the headline profit picture. Systematix suggests the bank could use them to build provision buffers, which would raise credit costs. Investors will compare the reported figures with these differing forecasts.
