YES Bank shares experienced a significant rally on Friday, September 11, 2026, climbing 7.69% to hit an intraday high of Rs 23.95. The strong upward movement was accompanied by exceptional trading activity, with approximately 76.60 lakh shares changing hands on the BSE, more than double the stock's two-week average volume.
Q1 Earnings Fueling the Surge
The positive sentiment surrounding YES Bank shares largely stems from the private sector lender's impressive first-quarter (June quarter) results for the fiscal year 2027. The bank reported a substantial 33.69% year-on-year (YoY) increase in standalone net profit, reaching Rs 1,071.80 crore, up from Rs 801.07 crore in the same quarter last year.
Further bolstering its performance, YES Bank's Net Interest Income (NII) grew by 17.5% YoY and 5.6% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to Rs 2,786 crore. The Net Interest Margin (NIM) also saw an improvement, expanding by 20 basis points YoY to 2.7%. The bank attributed this NIM expansion to a lower cost of deposits and a reduction in balances of Priority Sector Lending (PSL) shortfall deposits.
Vinay M Tonse, YES Bank's Managing Director and CEO, commented that the bank had commenced FY27 on a strong footing, achieving higher core earnings despite a notable decline in gains from security receipts and treasury operations. Tonse emphasized that this performance reflects the strengthening of the bank's underlying franchise.
