SBI Share Price Decline
Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) fell 5.60% to Rs 1,079.40 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) during the session on March 9, 2026. 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, down from its previous close of Rs 1,143.55. Throughout the day, the stock touched an intraday high of Rs 1,113.60 and a low of Rs 1,064.25, reflecting significant volatility.
The decline in SBI shares occurred amid a broader sell-off in Indian equities, driven by rising geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which pushed crude oil prices higher. This situation has contributed to a negative sentiment in the market.
In terms of historical performance, SBI’s 52-week high stands at Rs 1,234.80, while its 52-week low is Rs 719.20, indicating a wide range of price fluctuations over the past year.
As of now, SBI 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 BSE PSU Bank index also fell 5.65% during the same period, reflecting the overall weakness in the banking sector.
Market observers are closely monitoring the situation, as the geopolitical tensions and their impact on oil prices could continue to affect investor sentiment and stock performance in the coming days.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any immediate measures SBI might take in response to this decline.
