2.1 State Bank of India (SBI)
2.1.1 Background and history
The State Bank of India (SBI) has a long and illustrious history that dates back to the early 19th
century. It all began with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in 1806. The bank was set up
primarily to provide banking services to the British East India Company and its employees.
In 1840, the Bank of Calcutta was renamed as the Bank of Bengal, and it expanded its operations
to other parts of India. Around the same time, the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras were
established in 1840 and 1843, respectively. These three banks, collectively known as the presidency
banks, played a crucial role in providing banking services and supporting trade during the British
colonial era.
As India continued to develop and grow, the need for a centralized banking system became apparent.
In 1921, the three presidency banks merged to form the Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial
Bank became the largest bank in India and served as the central bank of the country until the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was established in 1935. Under the Imperial Bank’s leadership, the
banking sector in India flourished. It played a pivotal role in managing the monetary and financial
affairs of the country.
The Imperial Bank acted as a banker to the government, provided banking services to commercial
banks, and supported the growth of various industries. the need for further reforms and the desire to
ensure banking services were accessible to all sections of society led to the nationalization of the
Imperial Bank of India. In 1955, the Government of India transformed the Imperial Bank into the
State Bank of India.
The nationalization of SBI aimed to bring about centralization in the banking sector and promote
financial inclusion. The government wanted to ensure that banking services were available to every
citizen, especially in rural and remote areas. This move played a crucial role in expanding the reach
of banking services and supporting the economic growth of the country.

Geopolitical Tensions
Geopolitical tensions, as seen with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, can have profound effects on the
global economy. In the case of the financial sector, these tensions can lead to increased market

Return = −10.3%
SBI Bank ROI Calculation
Start Price: ₹333.70
End Price: ₹460.45
Return Calculation:
Return=( Start Price -End Price) ÷Start Price
Return=( 333.70 - 460.45) ÷ 333.70

Here is a summary of the key findings and interpretation of the results comparing the stock price
performance, volatility, and returns of SBI and HDFC Bank from 2021-2023:
Key Findings:
SBI’s stock price has shown higher volatility compared to HDFC Bank, with a daily volatility of
1.86% and annualized volatility of 35.54% as of May 2023. In contrast, HDFC Bank had a daily
volatility of 1.40% and annualized volatility of 26.75%.
Over the 52-week period from mid-2022 to mid-2023, SBI’s stock price ranged from a low of
₹744.05 to a high of ₹912.00, a difference of over 22%. HDFC Bank’s 52-week price range was
narrower, fluctuating between ₹810.50 and ₹845.55, a range of around 4%.
SBI’s stock price has shown a positive return of 0.42% on May 31, 2023 compared to the previous
close. However, over a longer period, SBI’s stock price declined by 14.40% in July 2022.

GFGC
In contrast, HDFC Bank’s stock price has shown more consistent positive returns, with a 0.45% gain
on May 31, 2023. Over the 52-week period, HDFC Bank’s stock price increased by over 9% in July
2022.
Interpretation of Results:
The data analysis suggests that HDFC Bank’s stock has exhibited lower volatility and higher returns
compared to SBI from 2021-2023. HDFC Bank’s narrower 52-week price range and positive returns
on a consistent basis point to a more stable and resilient stock performance.
SBI’s stock has shown higher volatility, with a wider 52-week price range and a sharp decline in July
2022. While SBI’s stock price has shown a positive return in the most recent period, the overall trend
indicates higher risk and lower returns compared to HDFC Bank.
The difference in volatility and returns between the two bank stocks can be attributed to several
factors, including:
HDFC Bank’s stronger financial performance, with higher profitability, lower non-performing assets,
and better liquidity ratios compared to SBI.
Investor perception of HDFC Bank as a more stable and well-managed private sector bank, while
SBI faces challenges as a public sector bank.
Macroeconomic factors like interest rates, exchange rates, and overall market conditions that may
have a greater impact on SBI’s stock price compared to HDFC Bank.
In summary, the statistical analysis of stock prices, volatility, and returns suggests that HDFC Bank
has outperformed SBI from 2021-2023, with lower risk and higher returns for investors. However,
it’s important to note that past performance may not necessarily predict future results, and investors
should conduct their own due diligence before making investment decisions.
