MUMBAI: Yes Bank has receveid RBI’s approval to open two representative offices in London and Singapore. This comes on the back of the bank opening a representative office in Abu Dhabi last year followed by an office the GIFT City.

“Opening of representative offices in key financial and trade hubs like London and Singapore, in addition to our existing office in Abu Dhabi, gives us an effective coverage for most key global geographies,” said Rana Kapoor, MD & CEO, Yes Bank.

Private sector lender Yes Bank today said has received Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) approval to open two representative offices in London and Singapore. “This is a significant development in the overall augmentation of Yes Bank’s business model and will help in further diversification and expansion of financial services to the NRI diaspora,” Yes Bank MD and CEO Rana Kapoor said.

Yes Bank offers an excellent opportunity to play the theme of structural improvement in profitability vs peers. Not only is the growth opportunity fairly abundant given Yes Bank’s smaller but growing balance sheet, even the retail opportunity on both sides of the balance sheet is likely to drive a 20bps improvement in RoA to 1.9% and 500bps increase in RoE to 23% over the next two years. In contrast, its stock valuations remain muted at 2.4x P/ABV and 13x P/E – this despite a solid stock return of 24% CAGR over the longer term (11 years) and even in the shorter term – 23% CAGR over three years – similar to HDFC Bank’s performance.

The recent under performance in Yes Bank’s (YES) stock has been triggered by concerns of worsening asset quality amid tightening regulations. We believe YES has robust resolution processes and will be able to recover the bulk of its stressed assets. The strong corporate loan growth, while opportunistic, is driven with a specific strategy in mind. In time, focus on growing granular assets would regain importance as the current opportunity subsides.
