The banking sector struggled in the Indian stock market today on February 11. Private banks were hit hard with the Nifty Private Bank index falling nearly 47 points (0.16%) to 29,016 on broad-based muted sentiment. YES Bank share price reflected this market-wide bearish sentiment by dipping 0.37% to Rs. 21.32 at press time.

While the day started with a bit of hope, opening at Rs. 21.49, slightly higher than the previous close of Rs. 21.40, the bulls couldn't hold the line. The price eventually drifted down to a daily low of Rs. 21.22. The stock is trading below its 52-week high of Rs 24.30 but well above its 52-week low of Rs 16.02. Its upper circuit limit is Rs 23.54, while the lower circuit stands at Rs 19.26.

Here’s an in-depth analysis of the Yes Bank share price based on Moneycontrol data.

Key Updates: Yes Bank Q3 Results, Sale, CEO Appointment 

The private sector bank recently shared many important business updates. It received Rs. 76 crore from a single trust for the sale of its stressed asset portfolio to JC Flower ARC. The bank also met many large institutional investors and analysts, including SBI Fund Management and Nuvama Institutional Equities.

In the December 2025 quarter, the bank reported a strong performance. Its net profit rose 55.42% year-on-year to Rs. 951.62 crore. The net interest income increased 10% to Rs. 2,223 crore while net interest margin improved to 2.6%. Asset quality was stable, with gross NPAs at 1.5% and net NPAs at 0.3%. Total deposits in the bank grew 5.5% to Rs. 2.92 lakh crore.

The Reserve Bank of India has approved Vinay Muralidhar Tonse as the new Managing Director and CEO of Yes Bank for three years. The current CEO, Prashant Kumar, will step down in April 2026. This leadership change is seen as a key development for the bank’s future trajectory.

Recent Price Performance

Earlier this week, YES Bank shares were seen near Rs. 21.60 before slipping toward current levels. So far in 2026, the stock has traded largely flat. However, it is down about 7% over the past month, showing short-term pressure.

The private lender’s market capitalisation stood around Rs. 66,869 crore. Trading activity was also steady, with volume at 34.76 million shares and a traded value of Rs. 7,408.36 lakh. The stock’s VWAP was at Rs. 21.32, close to the current market price, which suggests balanced buying and selling interest.

YES Bank stock had a TTM EPS of Rs. 1.01, up 46% year-on-year. The stock traded at a PE ratio of 21.10, which is close to the sector PE of 20.65. Its price-to-book ratio was 1.40, while the book value per share was Rs. 15.24. The beta of 0.92 showed that the Yes Bank share price moved almost in line with the broader stock market.

Analyst View and Technical Levels

Out of 11 analysts tracking the Yes Bank stock on February 10 on  Moneycontrol, 64% gave it a ‘sell’ rating, while only 9% recommend ‘buying’. Here are the brokerages' views, according to a Business Today report published on February 9th. 

The Optimists: Ventura Securities set the target price of Rs. 32 over the next two years.

The Neutrals: ICICI Securities played safe with a ‘Hold’ rating and a target of Rs. 24.

The Bears: Emkay Global remained skeptical, suggesting the stock could fall as low as Rs. 18.

Market Outlook

Technically, YES Bank is caught in a narrow range. With a Beta of 0.92, it isn't moving wildly compared to the rest of the market, but it lacks the ‘spark’ needed for a breakout. Investors are likely waiting to see if the new CEO can turn these growing profits into a rising share price. For now, the stock faces immediate resistance at Rs. 21.55.
