Yes Bank Q4 Results.
According to Amit Goel, co-founder and chief global strategist at Pace 360, Yes Bank’s net profit for the January-March quarter of the financial year (FY) 2023-24 stood at ₹ 451 crores, a significant increase of 123 per cent. Compared to the previous year’s figure of ₹202 crore. The bank’s gross non-performing assets (NPAs) declined to 1.7% from 2.2% in the same quarter of the previous year.
Conversely, net non-performing assets (NPAs) stood at 0.6% for the quarter, an improvement from 0.80% in the previous year. During the fourth quarter, it launched operations as a PSP payment bank serving existing and new Paytm customers.
According to Shreyansh V Shah, research analyst at StoxBox, Yes Bank delivered strong fourth-quarter results in 2024, as expected and in line with its continued progress under CEO Prashant Kumar. The bank saw significant growth in net profit, with a year-on-year increase of 123% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 95%.
Higher revenues and reduced provisions drove this growth. Robust performance in operating metrics such as net interest margins (NIM) and non-performing assets (NPAs) in a high-interest rate environment suggests the bank faces long-term challenges.
The most notable aspect of the quarter for us was the significant improvement in return on assets (ROA) and the significant increase in non-interest income. This suggests that the lender’s previous strategic moves have begun to yield positive results.
Yes Bank Share Price Target
Sumeet Bagadia, Managing Director, Choice Broking, said Yes Bank stock has formed a solid base at 24 per share. If the stock falls below this level, it may experience a decline in value.
yes Bank share price is facing resistance in the range of 30 to 32 on the upside. After crossing this resistance zone, Yes Bank stock is expected to rise significantly.

New investors have the option to buy Yes Bank shares at their current market prices while maintaining a stop loss of 24. Any significant drop in the stock should be considered a significant buying opportunity until the Yes Bank stock price crosses the 24 per share level.
