What is the brokerage opinion?
Stock market analysts broadly suggested that the stock could fall to the level of Rs 19-20. Analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities have recommended ‘sell’ on Yes Bank shares, while placing it at a fair value of Rs 19. At the same time, G Chokkalingam, founder and MD of market research firm Equinomics Research, said, “We have a ‘sell’ view on the stock. There are many constraints in the banking industry, such as low credit growth, the need to reduce the credit-deposit ratio, intense competition in the industry for high CASA (low-cost deposits) and poor overall deposit growth in the industry.” Kranti Bathini, Director, Equity Strategy at Wealthmills Securities, said, “Only high-risk investors should consider entering this stock. Investors who already have these shares can maintain their position.” Osho Krishna, Senior Research Analyst (Technical & Derivatives) at Angel One, said, “In the last few months, Yes Bank has been trading in a range of 5-7 points with no clear trend emerging. Currently, the stock is near the lower end of the consolidation range. Hence, Rs 22 can be seen as support, while Rs 27-28 remains a challenging one for the counter in the comparative period.” “We have a ‘sell’ rating with a target below Rs 20,” Chokkalingam added.
