YES Bank shares may remain in focus after investors continue tracking the impact of Japan’s SMBC, the bank’s largest shareholder, which clarified it does not plan to raise its stake beyond 24.99% for now. While the strategic investment supports confidence in YES Bank’s long-term turnaround, the lack of an immediate higher stake disappointed some investors earlier. On the positive side, the bank’s improving asset quality, lower NPAs, and steady profitability trends are supportive for valuations. However, recent SEBI-related insider trading investigations linked to past share sale events may create sentiment-driven volatility. Overall, the stock may react to a mix of improving fundamentals, strategic backing, and regulatory headlines in the near term.
