Commenting about the stock, KR Choksey said, "We expect the slippages to remain moderate with healthy recoveries & upgrades going ahead to bring stability to the asset quality. SBI will continue to see strong traction on the credit growth front, led by improvement of the corporates CAPEX cycle and robust momentum in retail, especially home loans & Xpress credit segment. SBI has been striving to strengthen its overall balance sheet and improve its CASA mix to maintain its margins at a sustainable level. On the asset quality front, we saw further improvement in the ratios with the moderation of slippages and healthy upgrades and recoveries, resulting in healthy earnings growth over the next two years."

"We believe SBIN is better placed than its PSU peers to manage the uncertainties, given its size & leadership in the banking system. We have factored a CAGR of 29% in profits growth while advances growth of 13% CAGR over FY22-24E. We expect its ROA to improve to 0.9% by FY24E and ROE to ~15.1% by FY24E. We value the bank at 1.4x FY24E P/ABV on an ABV of Rs. 387.6 per share, and the subsidiaries value at Rs. 137 per share," the firm added, upgrading the target price for the stock.
