CARE Ratings has upgraded Yes Bank's long-term ratings on its Infrastructure Bonds and Tier II Bonds from CARE A+/Stable to CARE AA-/Stable, while reaffirming the short-term Certificate of Deposits rating at CARE A1+. The upgrade reflects sustained growth in advances (₹2.46 lakh crore in FY25), an improved retail and SME loan mix (59% of book, up from 49% in FY22), better asset quality with net NPA falling to 0.30% from 0.58%, and profitability nearly doubling with PAT at ₹2,406 crore in FY25 vs ₹1,251 crore in FY24. Capital adequacy remains strong at 15.65% with Tier I at 13.52%. The outlook is Stable, though retail segment slippages (4.4%) and a pending Supreme Court ruling on AT1 bond write-downs remain watchpoints. CARE also flagged the proposed SMBC acquisition of a 20% stake from SBI and seven other banks, pending regulatory approvals.
This rating upgrade signals improved creditworthiness and financial health, which should lower Yes Bank's future borrowing costs and boost investor confidence. Shareholders can view this as a positive validation of the bank's turnaround, though the stock reaction depends on the pending SMBC stake acquisition and AT1 bond litigation outcome.
