The bank's board has approved a plan to raise up to ₹16,000 crore through a combination of equity and debt instruments.  This includes ₹7,500 crore via equity and ₹8,500 crore through debt, aimed at strengthening the bank's capital base and supporting its growth initiatives.  

Following this announcement, Yes Bank's shares saw a notable increase, reflecting investor optimism about the bank's future prospects.   However, the shares later experienced a sharp decline of over 9%, attributed to significant block deals where approximately 3% of the bank's equity changed hands.  

In terms of financial performance, Yes Bank reported a 46.7% year-on-year increase in net profit for Q1 FY25, amounting to ₹502 crore.  This growth was driven by a 12.2% rise in net interest income and a 41% reduction in provisions.  

Analysts have mixed views on Yes Bank's stock.  While some see potential for growth, others advise caution due to the bank's recent volatility and the broader market conditions.  

Overall, Yes Bank's recent fundraising efforts and financial performance have brought its shares into focus, with investors closely monitoring the bank's strategic moves and market reactions.
