Yes Bank Q1 Results: Net profit rises 59% YoY to ₹801 crore
In the June quarter, the private bank generated an interest income of ₹ 7,596 crore, down 1.6% from ₹ 7,719 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
Net interest income, which represents the difference between interest earned and interest paid, increased by only 5.7% to ₹ 2,371 crore for the June quarter, benefiting from a decrease in the Cost of Funds. Meanwhile, non-interest income rose by 10.9% to ₹ 1,739 crore.
Yes Bank disbursed ₹ 5,224.41 crore in interest during the reported quarter, compared to ₹ 5,475 crore in the same period last year, reflecting a decrease of 4.6%.
For Q1FY26, the net interest margin (NIM) was recorded at 2.5%, showing a year-on-year increase, aided by a reduction in deposits due to PSL shortfall and a decrease in SA rates, though this was somewhat countered by the impact of repricing, according to the private bank's filing with the exchange.
The operating profit increased by 53.4% compared to the previous year, reaching ₹ 1,358 crore, whereas non-tax provisions rose by 34.1% to ₹ 284 crore. The cost-to-income ratio showed improvement at 67.1%, a decrease from 74.3% over the past year.
The quality of assets remained constant, with gross non-performing assets (GNPA) at 1.6% and net NPA standing at 0.3%. The provision coverage ratio (PCR) saw an increase to 80.2 percent.
For the June quarter, the bank recorded total recoveries and upgrades amounting to ₹ 1,170 crore, including ₹ 338 crore from security receipts. However, slippages rose to ₹ 1,458 crore, up from ₹ 1,223 crore in the previous quarter.
Advances increased by 5% year-on-year to ₹ 2.41 lakh crore, propelled by a 19% rise in commercial banking and an 11.2% increase in the micro banking sector. Retail advances saw minimal growth, rising by just 0.3%.
'The bank entered the new financial year on a strong footing and delivered a robust performance with net profit rising to INR 801 crs, marking a 59.4% YoY growth. Key metrics such as RoA (0.8%), PPoP ( ₹ 1,358 crs), and NIM (2.5%) showed notable improvement. Asset quality remained stable, CASA witnessed healthy growth, and CET1 strengthened to 14.0%,' said Prashant Kumar, Managing Director & CEO, Yes Bank.
Further, in a significant strategic move, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) has entered into a binding agreement to purchase a 20 percent interest in Yes Bank from SBI and various other Indian banks, enhancing investor confidence. Additionally, the quarter witnessed upgrades in long-term ratings from Moody's, CARE, and ICRA.
On Friday, Yes Bank share price closed flat at ₹ 20.17 apiece on the BSE.

Indian man offered $150K job in US questions relocating solely for kids' education: ‘Is it really worth it?'
An Indian man's dilemma over whether to relocate to the United States for his children's education has sparked a thoughtful discussion on Reddit. The post, shared by the user under the title 'Is it worth relocating to USA from India?', highlights his concerns about leaving behind a settled and financially secure life in India in pursuit of potential educational opportunities for his children in the US. An Indian man on Reddit sought advice on relocating to the US for his kids' education.(Representational image/Unsplash) 'Settled in India, but is it enough?' The man, who is in his 40s, shared that he has a homemaker wife and two children currently studying in the 9th and 7th grades. He revealed that his company has offered him an internal transfer to Dallas, USA, under the L1A/EB1 visa programme with a annual salary of $150,000. However, his decision isn't driven by money. 'I am thinking to take this opportunity to give better education for my kids (not money), however I am afraid, whether it really help the kids or it will create big problem in future,' he wrote. 'I settled in India with own house without any loans. Is it really worth to relocate purely for kids education only?' Mixed reactions from Reddit users The post, shared by user @Grouchy-Leg1641, prompted several responses from fellow Redditors, many of whom offered their own perspectives and shared similar personal experiences. One Redditor empathised with his uncertainty, saying, 'You're already living a stable life. Moving now is a gamble, especially when the kids are in their teens.' Another added, 'Education might be better there, but will your kids adjust? Teenagers hate change.' One user noted, 'The exposure and opportunities in the US are unmatched. If you can afford it without stress, why not?' Another pointed out, '$150K in Dallas is a solid income. With your background and no existing loans, you'll still have stability.' Some questioned the necessity of the move altogether. 'Indian education is not bad if you guide your kids well,' one user said. Another commented, 'Moving for education is noble, but think long term—social security, healthcare, family support.'

Rupee weakens 12 paise to settle at 86.52 against US dollar
At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 86.59 and hit the lowest level of 86.63 against the greenback. The unit touched the intra-day peak of 86.47 before ending the session at 86.52, registering a loss of 12 paise from its previous closing level. A strengthening American currency overseas and foreign fund outflows further weighed on the local unit, forex traders said. Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI) The rupee declined 12 paise to settle at 86.52 against the US dollar on Friday, tracking negative domestic equity markets and surging global crude oil prices. On Thursday, the rupee saw some initial recovery but ended the session just 1 paisa higher at 86.40 against the US dollar. Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, said the rupee weakened due to a surge in crude oil prices and weakness in the domestic markets, which also fuelled the withdrawal of foreign institutional investors. He said the rupee is expected to trade with a slight negative bias amid uncertainty ahead of the August 1 trade deal deadline and geopolitical tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. 'Traders may take cues from the durable goods orders data from the US. Investors may remain cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan's monetary policy decisions next week. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 86.30 to Rs 86.90,' Choudhary added. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.33 per cent to 97.44. Analysts attributed the recovery in the dollar index to favourable employment data in the US. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, went up by 0.42 per cent to USD 69.47 per barrel in futures trade, as developing trade agreements have supported the upward movement in Brent oil prices. Forex traders said the uncertainty over the India-US trade deal has been an overhang for the forex market. If the discussions fail or get delayed, Indian exporters could face fresh pressure — adding to the rupee's challenges. However, if a deal is reached, it could offer a much-needed breather. Until then, the uncertainty is likely to keep market participants cautious. Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, Sensex crashed 721.08 points or 0.88 per cent to 81,463.09, while Nifty tanked 225.10 points or 0.90 per cent to 24,837. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,979.96 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data. The latest RBI data released on Friday showed India's forex reserve declined by USD 1.183 billion to USD 695.489 billion during the week ended July 18.
