YES Bank's Capital infusion

YES Bank shares rose in Tuesday’s late session, ending a two-day decline. The rebound was fueled by reports of a potential $1.1 billion additional investment from Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMBC), following its earlier stake acquisition. Additionally, rating agency ICRA upgraded the bank’s infrastructure and Basel III bonds to AA-/Stable, citing improved asset quality and profitability. The bank reported a 5.1% YoY rise in loans to ₹2,41,355 crore, though they dipped 2% QoQ. Technical analysts noted a bullish "double bottom" pattern forming, with a breakout above ₹20.65 seen as a positive sign for further gains. The stock is now viewed with improved sentiment amid strategic investments and operational stability.
