Yes Bank (YES) has reported Q1FY25 PAT of INR 5.0bn with stable NIM QoQ. While opex and credit costs declined QoQ, RoA was flattish due to lower other income (MTM loss).

Analysts are not bullish on YES Bank stock, with a strong sell consensus and a target price of Rs. 15

YES Bank (YES) reported a muted set of Q2FY24 PAT at INR 2.25bn with 0.2% RoA (vs 0.4% QoQ), pulled down by pressure on margins and elevated slippages. The bank is progressing reasonably well on balance sheet parameters namely CET1, LDR, NNPA, SR, granularity, mix, CASA, etc.

YES Bank has reported weak Q1FY24 earnings with muted business growth, sequential NIM decline, rise in slippages / net NPAs and drop in PCR. Reported PAT came in at INR 3.425bn with annualised RoA at 0.4%. We remain concerned on the bank’s muted operating earnings (PPOP as % of assets at ~1.0% for FY23), where we see only gradual improvement going ahead (1.1-1.3% for FY24E-25E) due to relatively higher gestation period of retail businesses and intense competition.

YES Bank reported a mixed set of Q4FY23 earnings with healthy business growth, NIMs and improvement in headline net stress, though profitability (RoA at 0.2%) remained weak due to continued investment in franchise and retail orientation.

YES Bank’s (YES) earnings in Q3FY23 were weighed down by higher than anticipated provision related to ageing of stressed assets. Reported PAT plunged 66% YoY / 81% QoQ to Rs 0.52bn (much below I-Sec and consensus expectations). Nonetheless, operating profit growth of 16% QoQ / 25% YoY was better than estimates.

YES Bank (YES) has reported Q2FY23 PAT of Rs1.5bn, which was down 32% YoY and 51% QoQ.

YES Bank reported 50% YoY growth in PAT to Rs3.11bn (down 15% QoQ) in line with our estimate. Positively, earnings momentum primarily flowed from core business stabilisation with: 1) slippages being contained at <2.2%, credit cost at <40bps and net labelled exposure moderating a tad to 5.0%; 2) loanbook gathering pace with 14% YoY growth and retail + SME advances mix improving to 50.9% (towards target of 60%); 3) capping of treasury loss at Rs370mn.

For YES Bank, post the restructuring and management change, liabilities, governance, asset quality / credit cost and capital were the key priorities.
