SBI m-cap hits Rs 5 lakh crore; third Indian lender to surpass the mark after HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank

New Delhi: India’s largest public sector lender State Bank of India on Wednesday became the third lender to cross the Rs 5-trillion market cap and seventh largest Indian company in terms of m-cap. Shares of SBI touched a fresh record high of Rs 574.85 per share during Wednesday’s trade.

SBI shares have rallied over 22 percent so far this year, driving the lender’s market-cap past the Rs 5 lakh crore mark on Wednesday. As of 13:45 pm, SBI’s m-cap was at Rs 5.11 lakh crore.

3rd Indian bank with 5 trillion m-cap

It has become the third Indian bank to join the 5-trillion m-cap club after private lenders HDFC Bank (8.42 lakh crore m-cap) and ICICI Bank (6.34 lakh crore m-cap), who achieved this milestone earlier. Now, the lender is ranked seventh in the overall m-cap ranking behind Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services, HDFC Bank, Infosys, ICICI Bank and Hindustan Unilever.
Financial services company Morgan Stanley expects the public-run lender to hit Rs 675, it said last week. “Margins should remain stable in FY23 and then improve by 10 bps in F24 to 3.2 per cent against 3.1 per cent in FY22. Slippages and credit costs should remain at normalised levels – we expect credit costs at 74bp/83bp in F23/F24 against 87 bps in FY22”, said Morgan Stanley.

JM Financial also said, “With increasing signs of momentum continuing in corporate demand and a potential capex upturn in FY24, we believe that SBI is one of the best-placed participants in the sector.”
