It has a strong domestic presence with 16,784 branches and international presence with 198 branches across 36 countries. NII increased marginally by 4% YoY (in line with our expectation) as margin remained under pressure on the back of incremental disbursements into low yielding corporate loans. Operating profit increased at a healthy pace of 20% YoY supported by higher other income ( 44% YoY). Gross NPA ratio which increased by 44 bps sequentially to 6.9% (better than expected) due to lower fresh slippages of Rs8,790cr (Rs30,313cr in Q4FY16). We expect advances to increase at a CAGR of 11% over FY16-18E led by lending to high rated corporates and retail segment. We expect net profit to increase at a CAGR of 37% over FY16-18E on the back of declining provisioning expenses. SBI is trading at a discount to its five years mean (2.1x 1 Year Forward P/ABV) valuation. We assign BUY rating on the stock with target price of Rs284 based on SOTP methodology. Business to grow faster than industry average Advances and deposits of SBI increased at 11% YoY each largely driven by retail segment. We expect advances to grow at a CAGR of 11% over FY16-18E led by strong momentum in retail loan growth and lending to high rated corporates and deposits to grow at a CAGR of 13% led by retail deposits. Profitability to improve significantly Net Interest Income (NII) increased marginally by 4% YoY (in line with our expectation) as the bank s net interest margin (NIM) declined by 16 bps to 2.8% on the back of incremental disbursements into low yielding corporates. Operating profit of the bank increased at a healthy pace of 20% YoY supported by higher other income ( 44% YoY). We expect net profit to increase at a CAGR of 37% over FY16-18E led by declining credit cost and stable NIM of 3.0%. Well placed on asset quality front Gross non-performing asset (NPA) ratio which increased by 44 bps sequentially to 6.9% (better than expected) due to lower fresh slippages of Rs8,790cr as compared to Rs30,313cr in Q4FY16. SBI has one of the lowest Gross NPA ratio of 6.9% and Net NPA ratio of 4.1% as of Q1FY17 among PSBs. Besides, the bank also maintained high provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) of 62%. We expect Gross NPA and Net NPA ratios to improve to 6.0% and 3.1% by FY18E led by lower slippages coupled with higher recovery. Outlook & Valuation We expect net profit to gain strong traction (37% CAGR over FY16-18E) aided by controlled credit cost and pick-up in loan growth. At CMP of Rs259, the stock (standalone) is trading at P/ABV of 2.0x and 1.8x for FY17E and FY18E, respectively. The stock is trading at a discount of its five years mean (2.1x 1 Year Forward P/ABV) valuation. We assign BUY rating on the stock with target price of Rs284 based on sum of the parts (SOTP) methodology where we value its standalone business at Rs239 (P/ABV of 1.6x for FY18E) and subsidiaries at Rs45 (holding company discount: 20%).
