Company disclosures from October 20, 2026, show that Moody's Ratings affirmed Yes Bank's long-term bank deposit ratings at Ba1 with a stable outlook, following recent legal developments regarding the bank's Additional Tier-1 bonds. While credit rating affirmations provide fundamental context regarding the bank's credit profile, the broader sentiment continues to be influenced by ongoing evaluations of capital impacts following the Supreme Court ruling.
7.87 crore shares traded by 21 October 2026 · 11:00 AM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 12.31 crore shares (0.64 times). The five-day average daily volume was 28.18 crore shares. Separately, the NSE report for 19 October 2026 showed 8.91 crore shares delivered, representing 43.08% of that day’s traded volume. The same report recorded 164,099 trades.
The stock's decline appears consistent with ongoing market digestion of the Supreme Court's AT-1 bond ruling and recent weak multi-day return trends, alongside subdued volume participation.
