Yes Bank moved higher.

· LiveMint Markets

Yes Bank shares rose 6% on Friday, extending gains to three sessions and lifting weekly returns to 14% amid unusually high trading volumes. The rally followed a sharp October decline triggered by the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the write-off of ₹8,415 crore in AT-1 bonds.

Yes Bank reported ₹8,415 crore, with movement of 6% and 14% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is +5.9% on the day at ₹17.20, and has returned -24.2% over three months. It sits 32% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -2.8% over the same period, so Yes Bank is running 21.4 points behind its peers.

For Yes Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.

  • In focus: Yes Bank (YESBANK), in Banks.
  • Over three months: Yes Bank -24.2% against Banks -2.8% (21.4 points behind).
  • At least 25% below the 52-week high: Yes Bank (32%).
  • Trading well above normal today: Yes Bank at 2.8 times its 20-day average volume.
