YES BANK  and Rana Kapoor, its founder, MD & CEO have been featured prominently in Business India in its latest issue dated 19,Feb,2012.

Rana Kapoor calls it the Professionals’ Bank. Yes Bank was the last Bank to get a banking licence 7 years ago – but has grown faster than most others during this period.

Yes Bank’s logo of ‘tick mark for approval’  and a potted money plant creeping up this logo  and a Cheetah statue are common features at Most of the Desks at his HQs in Mumbai.

Rana Kapoor ,54, says- the message to his institution is on agility to build scale.

Ø Today, Yes Bank has a B/S of Rs.71,109 Cr deposits of 46,9292 cr; and loans of Rs.35,868 cr, with NPAs of less than 0.20 % of loans

Ø Its market cap of Rs.11,538 cr ,compares favourably with older lenders like IndusInd Bank (Rs.13,754 Cr) and Federal Bank (Rs.6894 cr).

Ø In its second 5 year run named, version 2.0,  the bank aims to grow to a B/S size of Rs.1,50,000 Cr, with loans of Rs.1,00,000 cr and deposits size of Rs.1,25,000 cr.

Ø It is aiming for doubling No.of Branches  to Rs.750; access more CASA funds; to market more financial products for fee income and an increasing  pool of float money.

It has added 1084 employees  and doubled its branches in last 18 months.

To achieve its targets – it has to grow at 30 - 35% p.a. for next 3 years. The average age of its employees is less than 29. And 83% employees are less than 30; and half of its employees are MBAs.

Retail so far has been  Yes Bank’s weakest link.

More than 63% loans went to large companies; 22% to midsized companies and 15% to Individuals and SMEs.

As Branches increase, Yes Bank hopes to improve its presence in Retail in a big way.

Yes Bank wants to be the Best quality Bank in India, even after growing in size.

As and when RBI starts lowering its interest rate regime, all Banks will benefit and Growth in all sectors will have a pick up – with lesser NPAs, by and large.

Yes Bank too will benefit – and may reach its targets much sooner.

Basic EPS on (FV of Rs.10) during the last 5 Qtrs was Rs.7.23; Rs.6.73’ Rs.6.21: Rs.5.86 and Rs.5.52, which is a 31% growth in EPS YoY.

But, the share Price has not seen similar growth during this period.

On 5^th Nov,2010, the share price was hovering around Rs.379 – but is now around Rs.350 – despite its 31% growth in the last 5 quarters.

Annualizing the latest Q3 FY 12 EPS, we get (Rs.7.23 x 4 = ) Rs.29 p.a. At current prices, it is commanding a PE ratio of  just 12. This leaves good scope for appreciation in medium / long term. Factoring in the likely growth in coming quarters, Yes Bank looks a very attractive proposition – specially for medium to long term Investors.

In 2012 – we are likely to see the scenario of Banking sector growing faster than 2011 and becoming a Growth Engine for all other sectors – assuming that RBI wakes up to its task of supporting Growth by reducing the current High Interest Regime - as quickly as it raised the rates in 2011 for containing Inflation.
