SBI likely to cut YES Bank stake as lock-in ends
March 03, 2023
Yes Bank tanked 5.41 per cent today to hit a day low of ₹17.31 over its previous close of ₹18.30. The counter has slipped 19.17 per cent so far this year. A total of 384.35 lakh shares changed hands today on BSE, which was two times higher compared to the two-week average volume of ₹168.03 lakh shares. Turnover on the counter stood at ₹68.98 crore, commanding a market capitalisation (m-cap) of ₹50,924.03 crore.
SBI, along with other lenders, had stepped in to rescue Yes Bank in March 2020, after the RBI superseded its board. The country’s largest lender had initially acquired 49 per cent of Yes Bank. As of December 2022, it held a 26.14 per cent stake in the private lender as it couldn’t reduce the holding below 26 per cent before the completion of three years.
In September last year, Yes Bank had said that the RBI would allow it to exit a reconstruction scheme only after the share lock-in period ends.
