SBI Q4 Result Preview

State Bank of India is expected to report 9.1% annual increase in its net interest income (NII) growth and 7.9% jump in profit after tax in Q4FY26, as per the Mirae Asset Sharekhan report. SBI's strong fee income and benign credit costs are also likely to offset treasury pressure and higher opex.

However, Systematix Institutional Equities expects a 7% yoy decline in SBI's Q4FY26 profit, and around 6% decline in its operating profit. "Total opex is expected to be higher sequentially, led by higher employee and other opex," as per Systematix report.

"SBI remains poised for sustainable growth, led by healthy credit expansion and well-managed asset quality. We estimate a 13% earnings CAGR over FY26-28, with RoA/RoE expected at 1.1%/15.9% by FY27. The standalone bank currently trades at 1.1x FY27E ABV," noted Motilal Oswal in its report.
