Asset quality bottoming out
 Looking at another 25-50 bps hike in deposit and lending rates, to peak in the current interest rate cycle.
 Incremental CASA last year was 70%. Bank is targeting incremental CASA at 50%. Current cumulative CASA 48%.
 Expecting to keep cost/income ratio flat at 46% in the current fiscal year and targeting to take it to 40%.
 Gross NPL at 3.17%; targeting gross NPL ratio at under 3% in FY12.
 Mid-corporates saw maximum delinquencies. Bank is now expecting asset quality to improve in this segment.
 Restructured book at INR327.5bn; domestic at INR300bn, approximately 5% of loans. Restructured book breakdown:
Corp Accounts Group – INR62.5bn, Mid-corporates group – INR173.5bn, SME – INR53bn.

Valuation and risks
 With the stock significantly underperforming the market by 30% since its peak in Oct-10, we see an entry opportunity
materialising at 10% lower levels. We thus have a Neutral rating on the stock.
 We expect FY11-13e EPS CAGR at 16%. We value SBI using a weighted average combination of PE (75%), PB (15%),
and economic profit model (EPM, 10%). Target PE and PB multiples for the stock are 11.7x and 1.8x, respectively.
 Upside risks include better than expected fee growth and greater pricing power. Downside risks are unexpected slippage in
asset quality and a spike in operational costs.
