JM Financial’s Estimates
JM Financial expects Yes Bank to report a PAT of Rs 6,081 crore, reflecting a strong 34.6% YoY growth. However, this may be marginally down sequentially at 0.7%, suggesting pressure on the bottom line despite yearly gains.
Yes Bank’s NII is projected at Rs 2,209 crore, showing a modest increase of 2.6% YoY, but slipping 0.6% on a QoQ basis. Meanwhile, Net Interest Margins or NIMs are expected to remain under pressure at 2.1%, lower than the 2.2% reported in Q4FY24, and flat compared to 2.1% in Q3FY25.The Pre-Provision Operating Profit (PPOP) is forecasted to be Rs 1,040 crore, which could be a 15.2% YoY growth, but a decline of 3.6% QoQ.In terms of business growth, loans are expected to grow by 8.2% YoY and 0.7% QoQ to reach Rs 2,465 crore. As for the deposits, a hike of 6.8% YoY and 2.6% QoQ could come amounting to Rs 2,845 crore.
The lender is expected to report softness in its credit costs for the quarter under review at 0.4% in comparison to 0.8% in Q4FY24 and flat against 0.4% in Q3FY25.
JM Financial maintains a ‘Sell’ rating on Yes Bank as concerns around margin compression, limited loan growth momentum, and valuation considerations remain.
