How Did Yes Bank Perform in Q1 FY27?

Yes Bank reported Q1 FY27 standalone net profit of Rs 1,071 crore, up 33.7 percent from Rs 801 crore, with net interest income of Rs 2,786 crore, up 17.5 percent. Operating profit rose 25.5 percent to Rs 1,704 crore and provisions rose 38.9 percent to Rs 394 crore. Together these Q1 FY27 numbers anchor the Yes Bank share price target.

Metric	Q1 FY27	Context
Net Profit	Rs 1,071 crore	Up 33.7% from Rs 801 crore; flat QoQ
Net Interest Income	Rs 2,786 crore	Up 17.5%
Net Interest Margin	2.7%	Against 2.5% a year ago
Gross NPA	1.3%	Against 1.6%; net NPA 0.2%
Advances	Rs 2,85,118 crore	Up 18.3%
Deposits	Rs 3,15,373 crore	Up 14.3%

Profit growth came from core earnings, since gains from security receipts fell to Rs 86 crore from Rs 338 crore and treasury gains also fell. The CASA ratio declined from the previous quarter amid intense deposit competition, and gross slippages fell to Rs 964 crore from Rs 1,102 crore. The FY27 outlook from management is the main input for these estimates. These numbers sit behind every range in the scenario table above, so they anchor the Yes Bank share price target.

3. Loan Growth

Advances grew 18.3 percent to Rs 2,85,118 crore. Growth outpaced deposits. Delivery on this point keeps the Yes Bank share price target on track.

4. SMBC Backing

Lower Non-Core Gains

Security receipt gains fell sharply. Profit growth must come from core lending. A worsening here would cut the Yes Bank share price target toward the low end of the range.
