flag YES Bank, India’s recovering lender, reports strong profit growth and rising ROA, targeting 1% by year-end, aided by SMBC’s stake and strategic asset shifts.

flag YES Bank, a recovering Indian private lender, aims to achieve a 1% return on assets (ROA) by the end of the current fiscal year, with expectations of exceeding that in the next. flag It reported a 55% year-on-year and 45% quarter-on-quarter rise in net profit to ₹952 crore for the December quarter, with annualised ROA improving to 0.9% from 0.6% in the same period last year. flag Over nine months, ROA rose to 0.8% from 0.5%. flag The bank has maintained full compliance with priority sector lending rules since FY24, enabling a drop in Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) exposure from 11% to 6.9% of total assets, with plans to reduce it below 5% by FY27. flag As low-yielding RIDF assets mature, the bank plans to retire higher-cost borrowings and reinvest in higher-yielding loans. flag A 24.9% stake acquired by Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) in 2025 supports its strategy to sustain around 15% annual growth while improving profitability.
