Private sector lender YES Bank on Wednesday reported a 90.97% year-on-year drop in its net profit for the April-June quarter at Rs 113.76 crore on account of lower income and higher provisioning.

Sequentially, the company reported a net loss of Rs 1,506.64 crore in the March quarter.

Shares of India’s major private sector lender Yes Bank surged on Tuesday after media reports indicated that four PE firms have shown interest to pick up a stake in the bank. Yes Bank shares jumped more than 10.8% to hit the day’s high at Rs 103.35. “US-based private equity investor made an offer to acquire worth $850 million stake in the bank, the term sheet offer for which was made over the weekend,” The Economic Times said in a report, citing sources as saying.

Yes Bank shares have had a lousy run this year, losing a whopping 67% since April and underperforming benchmark indices by a massive margin.

Indeed, at the current price the stock trades at below its estimate book value for FY20. Even so, analysts are in no hurry to re-rate the stock.

Yes Bank indicated to the stock exchanges on Thursday that it has acquired shares of Eveready Industries amounting to 9.47% of the post-issue paid-up share capital after having invoked its pledged shares.

Yes Bank said it invoked the shares of Eveready Industries India following the default/breach of terms of credit facilities sanctioned by the bank to Mcleod Russel India, which is a group company of BM Khaitan Group.
