Yes Bank shares rise as Q2 profit beats estimates, but AT1 bond verdict hit pegged at Rs 5,217 crore. What lies ahead?
Yes Bank moved higher in a quarterly results development.
· ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
Yes Bank shares rose after falling 17% over two sessions, following a 65% year-on-year jump in Q2 net profit to Rs 1,080 crore. However, the lender cautioned that the reported earnings exclude the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s AT1 bond ruling.
The analysis
Yes Bank reported Rs 5,217 crore and Rs 1,080 crore, with movement of 17% and 65% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -1.8% on the day at ₹15.15, and has returned -32.8% over three months. It sits 40% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -6.0% over the same period, so Yes Bank is running 26.8 points behind its peers.
For Yes Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.

- Over three months: Yes Bank -32.8% against Banks -6.0% (26.8 points behind).
