GOOG, known for its robust foothold in the technology domain.

The recently announced financial figures by SBI suggest a slight variation in the overall profitability compared to previous quarters. The bank's net non-performing assets (NPA) ratio edged up to 2.21%, a critical indicator scrutinized by financial analysts and investors for assessing a bank’s asset quality and operational efficiency.

Alphabet Inc.: A Glimpse into a Tech Giant

Shifting focus to the technology sector, Alphabet Inc. GOOG, the parent company of Google, remains a significant entity boasting colossal revenue and market valuation.
