SBI Q2 preview: Margin hit cushioned by Yes Bank stake sale

Flipitmoney

SBI is expected to post a standalone net profit of ₹17,523 crore for the September quarter, a 4% year-on-year decline. Analysts cite a 6-8 basis-point fall in NIM due to rising deposit costs and a 12% on-year loan growth despite a higher cost of funds and recent rate cuts. One-off treasury gains from the Yes Bank stake sale offset pressure on margins.
