Yes Bank Limited CC-Jan26.pdf · 2026-01-17
Mr. Prashant Kumar, first of all, my appreciation. I hope my words don't sound bad, but you came in at a time and adopted an orphan and grew it to this level. So to you, personally, and to everybody else who turned around YES Bank, so that it could attract investor like SMBC. And secondly, I'm joining this for the first time, your conference. But I'm a little difficult investor. I don't want to get satisfied with the dividend, but I have my own estimation of the stock price with this SMBC coming in. I know you have already said that you're looking for Profitable growth on your loan book. So when can we see a doubling of your loan book so that my stock price can go up to INR 100.
I don't want to even ask about SMBC because I think you've already indicated in a conference, and we will let the things unfold at the natural pace as per your own understanding internally, what you have with them. But I think it's a beautiful chapter, which we are waiting to unfold. and my Best Wishes to you and your team. I think I have a feeling that you're probably underappreciated at this point of time in the Banking industry as the task on your hand, five years back, was very, very difficult. So I'm trying to bring in this point, although it may not matter to people who are listening to this, but I know how difficult it is to keep a team motivated and to bring them to a level of semblance. So Best Wishes.
