Food inflation hits 7.74%: Why the next inflation spike could hurt household budgets
State Bank of India is in focus in a monetary policy development.
· Business Today Mkts
SBI Research expects overall inflation to peak at 6.7%-6.8% in November, although this remains a forecast rather than a confirmed outcome.
The analysis
State Bank of India reported movement of 6.7%, 7.74% and -6.8%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -1.8% on the day at ₹941.90, and has returned -9.0% over three months. It sits 23% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -4.9% over the same period, so State Bank of India is running 4.1 points behind its peers.
For State Bank of India, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
