Moody's Investors Service has upgraded Yes Bank's credit ratings by one notch across multiple instruments. The Long-Term Foreign Currency Issuer Rating, Deposit Ratings, and Senior Unsecured Medium-Term Note Program have all been upgraded from Ba2 to Ba1. The Baseline Credit Assessment improved from Ba3 to Ba2. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of continued improvement. Key drivers include a stronger funding profile with CASA deposits rising to 53% of total deposits (from 41% in 2021), improved asset quality with gross NPA ratio at 1.3%, and adequate capital with CET1 at 13.8%. Additionally, Japan's SMBC acquired a 20% stake in September 2025 (increased to 24.9% by December 2025), bringing strategic credibility. Governance profile was also upgraded to G-2 from G-3.
The rating upgrade signals a meaningful improvement in Yes Bank's credit health and is positive for the bank's ability to raise funds at better rates. For shareholders, it indicates reduced credit risk and stronger fundamentals following the reconstruction period, though profitability remains weaker than peers.
