Yes Bank share price has rallied recently. Over the past month, shares have jumped more than 30%, and they’re up 18% so far in 2025. In the past 6 months, the stock has gained 15%. While it remained flat over the last year, it has grown 41% over the past 2 years.

On June 2, 2025, Yes Bank share price increased sharply again, climbing over 8% during the day to touch ₹23.32 on the BSE, continuing a 3-day winning streak.

Board Meeting to Consider Fundraising

The rally comes just before a key board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 3. In this meeting, Yes Bank’s board will discuss plans to raise funds. The fundraising could involve issuing new shares or debt instruments — possibly through private placement or preferential allotment. The final decision will be subject to required approvals.

Yes Bank had informed stock exchanges on May 28 that this meeting would explore all permissible methods for raising funds.

Due to this, the bank’s trading window for insiders has been closed from May 29 until 2 days after the meeting outcome is announced.

Big Boost from SMBC Investment Deal

Another major reason behind the stock surge is the announcement of a significant investment by Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC). SMBC plans to purchase a 20% stake in Yes Bank from the SBI-led consortium. This deal is worth ₹13,483 crore and is the biggest cross-border investment ever in India’s banking sector.

Once the deal is complete, SMBC will become the largest individual shareholder in Yes Bank. This move comes 5 years after the bank was rescued by Indian public-sector lenders.
