Yes Bank has over 1,300 branches, 200+ Business Correspondent Banking Outlets (BCBOs) and more than 1,350 ATMs (including CRMs and BNAs) spanning across 300 districts of India.

Net profits on the other hand grew to Rs 10,823 m vs Rs 7,446 m YoY. The capital adequacy ratio of the bank by the end of FY26 was strong at 15.6%.

A key positive is that loan growth has started accelerating again, especially in retail and corporate lending, while CASA deposits crossed Rs 1,000 bn, improving funding quality and lowering cost of funds.

Net interest margins also improved to 2.7%, which is important because margin expansion directly boosts earnings power for banks.

Conclusion

There is the appeal of low entry cost and possibility of high returns if a company turns around or gets re-rated, in line with ideas from Value Investing, that penny stocks have.

Sometimes they can hide early stage growth stories or under-valued assets. But they can carry substantial risk in the form of poor liquidity, weak fundamentals, high volatility and susceptibility to price manipulation.

So do your homework and know the risks before you consider investing.

Investors should evaluate the company's fundamentals, corporate governance, and valuations of the stock as key factors when conducting due diligence before making investment decisions.

Happy investing.
