State Bank of India: Buy says Emkay Global

Current market price	Rs 444
Target price	Rs 600
Upside potential in the next 1-year	34.00%

First quarter FY22 operating performance beat estimates on healthy fees/treasury gains, but high provisions led to a 5% miss on net profits at Rs 65 billion (estimates Rs 68.4 billion). "Asset quality performance was mixed, with gross non performing assets up 34 basis points qoq to 5.3% (led by retail/SME), restructured pool rising moderately to 0.8% of loans (pipeline at 0.1%) and SMA pool flat quarter-on-quarter at 0.5%," Emkay Global has said.

Emkay Global sees solid returns from SBI stock

State Bank of India has already seen decent non performing assets clawback of Rs 48 billion in July with a pickup in collections, while restructuring should reduce SME NPAs. This, along with the transfer of non performing assets to NARCL (Rs 200 billion/0.8% of loans) and resolutions via NCLT, should meaningfully bring down Non Performing Assets.

"We trimmed earnings estimates for FY22-23 by 5/3%, but expect the bank to deliver 13-15% Return on Equity over FY22-24E (seen before AQR)," the brokerage has said.

Retain Buy and overweight stance with a target price of Rs 600 on the stock of State Bank of India, valuing core bank at 1.4 times Sep'23E ABV and subs/investments at Rs185, leading to a 32% upside. SBI is the second best pick after ICICI, and we believe that better-than-expected growth/asset quality movement could provide further upsides to earnings/valuations," the brokerage has said.
