Synopsis
SBI Share Price: State Bank of India shares were trading amid significant volumes with more than 4.42 crore shares changing hands on the NSE around 11:30 am. With 27% returns over 1 year, the stock has underperformed many of its PSU bank peers, including Indian Overseas Bank (175%), Canara Bank (91%), and Bank of Baroda (48%).
Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) jumped over 6% to hit a new 52-week high of Rs 718.90 on the NSE on Thursday on news that brokers have pitched to the public lender to sell shares in YES Bank via block deals.
SBI currently holds a 26.13% stake in YES Bank, the highest among a consortium of banks including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, and IDFC First Bank, which also have stakes in the private lender.
SBI may look to sell shares worth Rs 5,000-7,000 crore in YES Bank via a block deal, CNBC Awaaz reported, citing sources. The report further said that the SBI Board could soon discuss the sale of shares and may use the proceeds to boost balance sheet liquidity.
Both SBI and YES Bank, however, clarified that the said news is inaccurate.
In March 2020, SBI, then erstwhile Housing Development Finance Corp, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Federal Bank, Bandhan Bank, and IDFC First Bank cumulatively invested Rs 10,000 crore in YES Bank to save the lender from bankruptcy and avert any systemic risks to the banking system.
