Result: SBI Posts ₹19,160 Crore Profit in Q1 FY26, eats Estimates with 12% Growth; Asset Quality Improves

12% Year-on-Year Growth in Profit; Strong Operating Performance Amid NIM Pressure
Indian Masterminds Stories

Mumbai: The State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest public sector lender, has reported a standalone net profit of ₹19,160 crore for the first quarter of financial year 2025–26 (Q1FY26), registering a 12% growth over the ₹17,035 crore reported in the same quarter last year. The profit figure surpassed market expectations, with a Moneycontrol poll estimating earnings at ₹17,166 crore.

Revenue and Operational Highlights

SBI’s total income for the April-June quarter stood at ₹1.35 lakh crore, up 10.31% from ₹1.22 lakh crore in Q1FY25. Interest income rose by 6% to ₹1.18 lakh crore from ₹1.12 lakh crore year-on-year.

However, net interest income (NII), a key measure of core lending profitability, remained almost flat at ₹41,072 crore, down 0.13% compared to the same quarter last year.

The decline in NII was primarily due to pressure on margins:

  • The bank’s net interest margin (NIM) contracted by 32 basis points to 2.90% at the whole-bank level.
  • Domestic NIM also dropped by 33 basis points, falling to 3.02%.
  • Non-Interest Income Drives Operating Profit

Despite margin pressure, SBI’s operating profit saw a healthy 15.49% growth, reaching ₹30,544 crore. This growth was significantly bolstered by a 55.4% jump in non-interest income, which rose to ₹17,346 crore.

Improvement in Asset Quality

SBI also reported a notable improvement in asset quality:

  • The bank’s net non-performing assets (NPAs) declined by 8%, falling to ₹19,908 crore from ₹21,555 crore in Q1FY25.
  • The reduction indicates improved loan recovery and better asset management.

What is an NPA?

A Non-Performing Asset (NPA) is a loan or advance that has not been repaid for 90 days or more, resulting in no income generation for the bank.

Understanding Standalone vs Consolidated Results

SBI reported its standalone results, which refer to the financial performance of the bank as a single entity. In contrast, consolidated results include the performance of subsidiaries such as SBI Life, SBI Mutual Fund, and others.

Stock Remains Flat Despite Strong Results

While the bank delivered a strong financial performance in Q1, its stock did not reflect the momentum:

  • As of 2:40 PM on August 8, SBI shares were trading at ₹805, showing:
  • 0.5% decline over the past year
  • 1% decline in the last month
  • 9% gain over the past six months

SBI’s current market capitalisation stands at ₹7.43 lakh crore, making it the sixth-largest listed company in India.
