Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) fell 5.60% to Rs 1,079.40 on the NSE during the session, marking a significant downturn for the bank.

This decline wiped out nearly Rs 62,352 crore in market capitalisation, bringing SBI’s valuation below the Rs 10 lakh crore mark to approximately Rs 9.93 lakh crore.

SBI opened at Rs 1,111.10, compared to its previous close of Rs 1,143.55. The stock touched an intraday high of Rs 1,113.60 and a low of Rs 1,064.25.

For context, SBI’s 52-week high stands at Rs 1,234.80, while its 52-week low is Rs 719.20, indicating significant volatility in its stock performance.

The BSE PSU Bank index also fell 5.65% amid the wider market weakness, reflecting a broader trend affecting financial stocks.

SBI currently has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12.97 and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 2.14, which are important metrics for investors assessing the bank’s valuation.

The decline in SBI shares came during a broader sell-off in Indian equities after geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States pushed crude oil prices higher.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the potential long-term impact of these geopolitical factors on SBI’s stock performance and the overall market.
