Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) rose nearly 2% on Wednesday after the country’s largest lender announced plans to raise substantial funds through bonds. In a meeting held on July 16, 2025, the bank’s Central Board approved raising up to Rs 20,000 crore by issuing Basel III-compliant Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 bonds during FY2026.

The funds will be raised in Indian rupees from domestic investors and will help strengthen the bank’s capital base. The proposal is subject to approvals from the Government of India, where required.

This fresh capital raising follows another plan announced in May 2025, when SBI’s board sanctioned the raising of up to Rs 25,000 crore in equity capital in FY2026.

This equity would be raised through one or more tranches using Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), Follow-On Public Offer (FPO), or other methods, aiming to improve SBI’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, which is a key measure of financial strength.

SBI Share Price Target 2025

According to Trendlyne, State Bank of India (SBI) has a BUY recommendation from 42 analysts, who have set an average share price target of Rs 929.31, indicating a possible 12% upside from the current levels. The stock also has a valuation score of 57, which suggests it is affordably priced.

A high valuation score means the stock is trading at reasonable valuations based on its P/E and P/BV ratios and may still have strengths not fully reflected in its share price. Among its peers, SBI has the third-highest valuation score, just behind Bank of Baroda, which has a score of 66.

SBI shares are currently trading above their 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages, which stand at Rs 801 and Rs 789, respectively. This is often seen as a positive technical indicator. The stock’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 9.6, and it has spent only 21.2% of the time below this level, putting it in the PE Buy Zone.

This means there is potential upside, as the P/E could revert to its historical average.
