Yes Bank Ltd: The Reconstruction Phoenix — Analyzing the Recovery, Residual Risks, and Re-Rating Potential of India's Most Resurrected Private Bank

NSE: YESBANK | BSE: 532648 | Sector: Financial Services | Industry: Private Sector Bank | CMP: ₹23.02 | Market Cap: ₹72,249.49 Cr | 52-Week Range: ₹16.00 – ₹32.00 | Face Value: ₹2.00 | ISIN: INE528G01035

Section 1: Business Overview — From Regulatory Moratorium to Reconstruction Phoenix

Yes Bank Limited stands as one of the most remarkable case studies in modern Indian banking history. Once the fifth-largest private sector bank in India by assets, with a market capitalization that briefly crossed ₹1,50,000 crore in 2017-2018, the bank was placed under a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) moratorium on March 5, 2020 — a watershed moment that shook the Indian financial system. The moratorium, imposed under Section 45 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, capped withdrawals at ₹50,000 per depositor and triggered a 60% crash in the stock over two trading sessions. Within 10 days, however, the bank was placed under a YES Bank Reconstruction Scheme, 2020, spearheaded by State Bank of India (SBI) — making it the first ever reconstruction of a scheduled commercial bank in India under the special provisions introduced in 2017.

Under the scheme, SBI invested ₹6,902 crore for a 49% stake (later reduced to ~26% post-FPO), alongside investments from ICICI Bank (₹1,000 crore), Axis Bank (₹600 crore), HDFC (₹1,000 crore), Kotak Mahindra Bank (₹500 crore), and others — a unique consortium of competitors stitching together the rescue of a fallen rival. The face value was also split from ₹10 to ₹2, taking the total share count to roughly 30.5 billion shares outstanding as of late FY25.

Today, post-restructuring, Yes Bank has re-emerged as a credible mid-sized private sector bank with a focused retail, MSME, and corporate banking franchise. The bank operates through a network of approximately 1,150+ branches and 1,800+ ATMs/CRMs spread across India, with a strong digital backbone built around its “YES” mobile banking app and YES Online internet banking platform. Total business (advances + deposits) stood at roughly ₹4,85,000 crore as of recent quarters, with advances of approximately ₹2,32,000 crore and deposits of approximately ₹2,53,000 crore.

Business segments and revenue mix: Yes Bank's revenue is broadly split across three segments. Treasury operations, which historically contributed a disproportionate share, have been deliberately wound down post-restructuring to reduce risk and re-focus on the core banking franchise. The Corporate Banking book contributes roughly 50% of advances, focused on large corporates, mid-corporates, and emerging corporates, with a renewed emphasis on working capital, trade finance, and cash management. Retail Banking (including SME and business banking) contributes the other ~50%, anchored around home loans, LAP, personal loans, credit cards (in partnership with RBL Bank as of recent), vehicle finance, and wealth management. The bank is also a meaningful player in microfinance and financial inclusion, having acquired the wholly-owned subsidiary YES Bank Sanchay in 2024 to consolidate and scale the business.

Management and Board: The post-restructuring board is led by Mr. Prashant Kumar as Managing Director & CEO (a veteran banker with 35+ years at SBI, handpicked to lead the recovery) and Mr. Ashish Chawla as Deputy MD. The reconstituted board includes nominees from SBI, ICICI, Axis, HDFC, Kotak, and LIC, ensuring strong institutional oversight. The bank has also recruited senior talent from peers, including a new Chief Risk Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and Head of Retail, signaling an attempt to professionalize the franchise.

Table 1.1: Yes Bank at a Glance — Key Operating Metrics

Strategic priorities: The current strategy — articulated as the “Yes Bank 2.0” plan — focuses on five pillars: (1) Asset quality recalibration with a clean credit underwriting model; (2) Granular retail growth through secured products and digital channels; (3) CASA mobilization to reduce reliance on bulk deposits; (4) Operational efficiency with a target cost-to-income ratio below 45%; and (5) Technology transformation including a complete core banking system upgrade (TCS BaNCS), launch of API banking, and aggressive digital customer acquisition.

At the current market price of ₹23.02, the bank trades at a P/E of 20.74x, a P/B of 1.40x, and offers an ROE of 14.0% — metrics that suggest the market is still pricing in a partial discount for residual risks, but also recognizing the operational turnaround. The EPS of ₹1.11 and NPM of 13.0% indicate a return to genuine profitability after the trauma of FY20-FY22.

Section 2: Latest Quarter Deep Dive — Sequential Progress Amid Deposit Normalization

The latest reported quarter (Q2 FY26, October-December 2025 calendar) reflects a bank in steady recovery mode, with sequential improvements across most operating metrics even as deposit growth remains a relative laggard. The headline numbers, summarized in the 8-quarter trajectory below, tell a story of consolidation after the post-restructuring cleanup phase, with net interest margins (NIM) stabilizing in the 2.4%-2.5% band and credit cost normalization slowly fading.

Table 2.1: 8-Quarter Operational Trajectory (₹ in Crore unless stated)

Reading the Trajectory

Revenue engine is firing on all cylinders. NII has grown at a healthy 6-quarter CAGR of ~5.6%, from ₹1,925 crore in Q3 FY24 to ₹2,388 crore in Q2 FY26 — a +24% cumulative increase. This growth is fundamentally driven by a ~14.6% cumulative advance growth (from ₹2,02,330 crore to ₹2,31,820 crore) with NIM holding flat in the 2.4%-2.5% band. Non-interest income has similarly compounded at ~5.7% CAGR, reflecting improved treasury income, fee income recovery, and digital transaction monetization.

PPOP growth signals operating leverage. PPOP has grown from ₹1,300 crore in Q3 FY24 to ₹1,731 crore in Q2 FY26 — a +33% increase that meaningfully outpaces both revenue and expense growth. Operating expenses, while growing ~5.1% per quarter on average, are clearly under control as the bank balances branch additions and digital investments with strict cost discipline. The cost-to-income ratio has improved from 57.1% to 54.9%, a 220 bps compression that is a clear positive for unit economics.

Provisions are the standout story. Provisions & contingencies have declined from ₹462 crore in Q3 FY24 to just ₹198 crore in Q2 FY26 — a -57% drop. This is the most important inflection in the post-restructuring story. As legacy stressed assets have been fully provided for and the new underwriting framework has matured, the bank has been able to release provisions selectively. With GNPA at 1.3% (down from 1.7% in Q3 FY24) and NNPA at 0.3% (down from 0.4%), the bank is now in a position of structural credit cost normalization, with the Credit Cost dropping below 35-40 bps annualized.

Profitability metrics are at multi-year highs. PAT has grown from ₹452 crore to ₹1,055 crore — a +133% cumulative growth that is the most direct reflection of the operating leverage compounding. RoA has expanded from 0.7% to 1.5% — more than doubling in 6 quarters — and RoE from 7.5% to 14.4%, both now in line with peer benchmarks. The current NPM of 13.0% and OPM of 28.0% are reflective of a healthy bank with stable pre-tax margins.

Deposit growth is the relative concern. While advances have grown ~14.6% cumulatively, deposits have grown at a slower ~15.5% pace but with growing reliance on bulk and term deposits — reflected in the CASA ratio slipping from 31.0% to 29.6%. This is a known management focus area, with specific initiatives around salary accounts, digital onboarding, and the YES ROBOT digital savings product expected to gradually lift CASA over FY27-FY28.

Section 3: Financial Performance — 5-Year Recovery Arc

The 5-year arc from FY21 to FY25 is a textbook post-restructuring recovery, with each year delivering a meaningful structural improvement on the prior.

Table 3.1: 5-Year Financial Summary (₹ in Crore unless stated)

FY21 was the trough — a year dominated by the moratorium, restructuring, write-offs, and provisioning for legacy stressed assets. Provisions of ₹6,792 crore swamped PPOP of ₹3,920 crore, leading to a PAT loss of -₹3,788 crore. The bank reported a GNPA of 14.7% (later revised lower as IBC resolutions cleared), with the Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR) at 67%.

FY22 was the inflection — with a return to profitability at ₹1,066 crore PAT, supported by a dramatic 50% reduction in provisions to ₹3,317 crore. Importantly, GNPA declined to 13.9% (with subsequent improvement to ~5% in FY23 as the bank completed recognition and resolution of all pre-2020 stressed exposures). The bank’s NII remained largely flat at ₹6,875 crore as it de-risked the balance sheet.

FY23 was the credibility rebuild — the bank fully recognized legacy stress, reduced GNPA to 5.2%, and grew PAT to ₹2,103 crore (+97% YoY). The NIM compressed to 2.6% as legacy high-yield book ran off faster than fresh advances could replace the yield, but operating metrics improved materially.

FY24 was the operational acceleration — PAT crossed ₹2,567 crore (+22% YoY), GNPA fell to 2.0%, RoA reached 1.0%, and the bank began its journey back toward peer benchmarks. PPOP grew 13% to ₹5,338 crore, signaling that the operating engine was back to full health.

FY25 was the breakthrough year — PAT reached ₹3,440 crore (+34% YoY), RoA hit 1.3%, RoE reached 13.5%, and GNPA fell to 1.5%. Provisions normalized to just ₹1,048 crore (under 25% of PPOP), reflecting the cleanest credit book in the bank’s history. PPOP of ₹6,249 crore (+17%) shows healthy operating leverage as the bank scaled granular advances and stabilized margins.

The 5-year CAGR for NII is ~6%, for PPOP is ~12%, and for PAT is N/M (positive from FY22 base) — clearly a story of operational leverage compounding as legacy issues fully recede.

Section 4: Industry & Competition — Peer Comparison and Competitive Positioning

Yes Bank competes in one of the most competitive segments of Indian banking — the private sector bank space dominated by HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and a long tail of mid-sized private banks. The most relevant mid-to-large private peer set for a meaningful comparison is ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, and Federal Bank — each with a comparable balance sheet size, retail-corporate mix, and risk profile.

Table 4.1: Peer Comparison — Key Metrics

ICICI Bank is the gold standard — a large, well-managed, retail-led private bank with a 2.4% RoA, 18% RoE, and 4.0% NIM. It trades at a premium 3.20x P/B and 18.5x P/E, reflecting its scale, brand, and execution. Yes Bank is roughly 1/5th the size of ICICI on advances and trades at a steep discount — but importantly, its RoA gap (1.5% vs 2.4%) and NIM gap (2.5% vs 4.0%) are the metrics that would need to converge for a meaningful re-rating.

Axis Bank is the most relevant direct comparable — similar size on advances (~5x Yes Bank), strong retail franchise, well-managed. Axis trades at 1.95x P/B, 16.5% RoE, 3.7% NIM, 1.4% GNPA — a profile Yes Bank could realistically target over a 3-5 year horizon.

IndusInd Bank is currently a cautionary tale — a well-regarded bank that hit a derivative accounting crisis in 2025 that wiped out ~60% of market cap and led to an RBI review. IndusInd's 1.50x P/B, 14.5% RoE, 3.7% NIM is structurally higher quality than Yes Bank today, but its recent crisis shows how quickly a private bank can lose franchise value when governance slips.

Federal Bank is the most direct mid-size comparable — a Kerala-based private bank with a strong retail franchise, similar business mix, and recent track record. Federal Bank trades at 1.45x P/B, 15% RoE, 3.2% NIM, 1.5% GNPA — only marginally ahead of Yes Bank on most metrics. This suggests Yes Bank at 1.40x P/B is approximately fairly valued relative to Federal Bank, with the only meaningful discount being on NIM (2.5% vs 3.2%).

Competitive positioning

Strengths: Yes Bank’s competitive moats are (1) the strong digital backbone with the YES app and YES Online — among the best in class for customer experience; (2) the institutional shareholding (SBI 26%, LIC ~5%, top 4 private banks ~13%) that provides extraordinary regulatory and governance comfort; (3) a national branch network with 1,150+ branches — comparable to much larger private banks on density; and (4) the YES Bank Sanchay microfinance arm, which is a high-yield, under-served segment.

Weaknesses: The bank is structurally sub-scale on NIM because of (a) lower CASA ratio (29.6% vs 38-41% peer average), (b) higher reliance on term/bulk deposits, and (c) sub-scale retail advances (housing, personal loans) that command premium yields at ICICI/Axis. The cost-to-income at 54.9% is also 800-1300 bps above ICICI/Axis, reflecting a) sub-scale operations and b) ongoing technology investments.

Strategic verdict: The peer comparison shows that Yes Bank is the cheapest mid-size private bank on most metrics, with the strongest institutional backing of any peer. The path to closing the valuation gap to Federal Bank (1.45x P/B) and eventually Axis (1.95x P/B) depends on three concrete things: (1) CASA improvement to 32-33% over 18 months, (2) sustained 14-15% RoE, and (3) zero governance shocks.

Section 5: Justified P/B Valuation Framework — Mapping the Path to Re-Rating

A justified P/B framework for a bank should reflect the relationship between (a) sustainable return on equity (RoE), (b) cost of equity (CoE), (c) growth rate (g), and (d) the dividend payout ratio. The most common formulation is the Gordon Growth Model adapted for banks:

Justified P/B = (RoE – g) / (CoE – g)

Inputs for Yes Bank

Base case (RoE 14%, CoE 13.5%, g 7%): This gives a justified P/B of 1.07x. At a current CMP of ₹23.02 and book value per share of ~₹16.40 (₹72,249 Cr M-cap / 30.5 billion shares = ₹23.02 P/B-implied book; book value progression would be at ~₹16.40), the current P/B of 1.40x is 30% above justified P/B — suggesting the market is already pricing in gradual RoE expansion toward 16-17%.

Bull case (RoE 17%, CoE 13.5%, g 9%): If Yes Bank can deliver sustained 17% RoE over the next 2-3 years (driven by CASA improvement to 33%, NIM expansion to 3.0%, cost-to-income decline to 50%, and credit cost normalization at 30 bps), the justified P/B rises to 1.33x — implying a CMP of approximately ₹25-28 at current book value. The current CMP of ₹23.02 is well within this bull-case range.

Bear case (RoE 9%, CoE 14%, g 4%): If NPA cycle worsens (slippages to 3-4%), CASA continues to fall, and growth decelerates to 4%, justified P/B drops to 0.69x — implying a CMP of approximately ₹11-13. This is the “IndusInd-like scenario” where a re-imposition of stress could halve the stock.

Re-rating math

The bull case justifies a P/B of 1.33x-1.50x (peer-discount applied to Federal Bank's 1.45x and Axis's 1.95x). On a book value of ~₹18-20 per share projected for FY27 (assuming 12-15% book value growth), this implies a 12-month target price of ₹24-30 — a 5-30% upside from current levels.

A more aggressive re-rating to Axis-comparable 1.95x P/B would require (a) sustained 16-17% RoE for 4+ quarters, (b) CASA > 32%, (c) zero governance shocks, and (d) a successful execution of a retail-led growth strategy. In that scenario, a target price of ₹35-40 is plausible over 18-24 months — a 50-75% upside from ₹23.02.

Why the stock trades at a discount

Three structural factors explain the 1.40x P/B versus Federal Bank’s 1.45x and Axis’s 1.95x: (1) CASA deficit — at 29.6% vs Federal's 31% and Axis's 40%, the bank pays more for deposits, suppressing NIM by 70-150 bps; (2) Recency of stress — the moratorium and restructuring are only 5-6 years old, and the market is still pricing in a “fresher memory” of asset quality risk; and (3) Lower operating leverage — at 54.9% cost-to-income vs 43-51% peers, the bank still has structural cost inefficiency.

The upside case is that all three of these factors can be addressed through focused execution. The downside case is that any new stress event (NPA, governance) would reopen the “moratorium discount” and send the stock back to ₹16-18.

Section 6: Shareholding Pattern — The SBI Anchor and Institutional Comfort

Yes Bank’s post-restructuring shareholding pattern is unique in Indian banking — a consortium of competitors and large institutional investors providing both capital and governance comfort.

Table 6.1: Shareholding Pattern (% of Equity)

SBI as the anchor shareholder is the single most important fact in the Yes Bank equity story. SBI holds 26% (₹18,800 crore at CMP) and has nominated multiple board members. While SBI has indicated it will eventually dilute to 15-20% (per its own capital optimization strategy), the divestment is expected to be gradual and orderly, not a fire sale. SBI’s continued presence provides a regulatory comfort layer that is unique among private banks — and that comfort is implicitly priced into the P/B multiple.

LIC holds ~4.5% as a long-term strategic investor, having been allotted shares under the reconstruction scheme. LIC’s holding is a stable, non-trading position that effectively reduces the float and supports price stability.

The four-bank consortium — ICICI Bank (3.5%), Axis Bank (2.1%), HDFC Group (3.1%), and Kotak (1.7%) — collectively hold ~10.4%, providing a unique cross-holding of private bank peers in a single name. This is structurally important because these banks would not have invested if they did not have confidence in the recovery.

FII flows have been a tailwind — rising from 17.2% to 19.5% over 4 quarters (~₹2,500 crore net buying) as global funds recognize the improving fundamentals. DII ownership is also rising (12.0% to 14.0%), with mutual funds and insurance companies steadily increasing weight in their portfolios.

The free float (public + non-strategic institutional) is approximately ~60% — a healthy level that supports liquidity and reduces concentration risk.

Section 7: Key Risks — The NPA Cycle, Concentration, and Structural Headwinds

While the post-restructuring story is one of credible recovery, the risk profile of Yes Bank remains structurally higher than most large private peers. The NPA cycle, deposit concentration, and operational headwinds are the three key risks that could derail the trajectory.

Risk 1: NPA Cycle and Credit Cost Volatility

The most material risk is a fresh NPA cycle — particularly from the mid-corporate and SME segments where the bank has meaningful exposure. While GNPA at 1.3% looks healthy, the slippages from the standard book have been volatile in past quarters (range: 80-180 bps annualized), and a single large exposure going bad could spike credit cost. The stressed assets + standard restructured assets + SMA-1/SMA-2 pool remains around 3-4% of advances — meaningful if a macro shock hits.

Historical context: Yes Bank’s pre-moratorium stress was driven by (a) over-leveraged corporate exposures, (b) group-level concentration (Anil Ambani group, DHFL, etc.), and (c) weak underwriting. The new management has put in place a fresh credit committee structure, an exposure ceiling of 5% of capital for single borrowers, and a wholesale credit policy that mandates dual control — but the proof of these guardrails lies in the next 4-6 quarters of performance.

Risk 2: Deposit Franchise and CASA Erosion

The CASA ratio has declined from 31.0% (Q3 FY24) to 29.6% (Q2 FY26) — a 140 bps decline that reflects (a) competition for retail deposits from small finance banks and fintech, (b) lower branch productivity in Tier-2/Tier-3 cities, and (c) seasonal migration of low-cost deposits to term deposits when rates rise. If CASA continues to fall toward 27-28%, the NIM could compress by 30-50 bps, and the cost of funds could rise by 20-30 bps — directly hitting profitability.

Bulk deposit reliance is also a concern — while not disclosed at granular level, industry estimates suggest 20-25% of total deposits are from large institutional / corporate clients that are rate-sensitive and could shift quickly if a better yield is offered elsewhere. A 5% outflow of bulk deposits would translate to ₹12,500-15,000 crore of deposit loss — a meaningful liquidity risk.

Risk 3: Concentration Risk

Top 20 borrowers account for approximately 15-18% of total advances — a high concentration by private bank standards (Axis, ICICI typically run 10-12%). A single large exposure going bad could spike GNPA by 30-50 bps in a single quarter. The bank has been actively diversifying into retail, MSME, and home loans — but this is a 3-5 year journey, and concentration remains a near-term tail risk.

Risk 4: Governance and Management Continuity

MD & CEO Prashant Kumar's term was extended to September 2027, but succession planning is critical. The IndusInd Bank crisis of 2025 — where a derivatives accounting issue led to a 60% stock crash — highlighted how governance lapses can blow up a bank in weeks. Yes Bank’s institutional shareholding (SBI, ICICI, Axis, HDFC) reduces this risk, but a single governance shock would be devastating.

Risk 5: Macro and Interest Rate Risk

NIM compression risk is real if the RBI cuts rates by 50-100 bps over the next 12 months — the bank would reprice liabilities slower than assets, leading to a transient 20-30 bps NIM compression. Yield curve inversions (short rates above long rates) are also a known risk for banks, as they compress term spread income.

Risk 6: Derivative and Treasury Risks

Yes Bank's derivatives book is large (typical for a bank with active FX and rate hedging offerings to corporate clients) and the bank’s ₹4,85,000 crore balance sheet has meaningful duration risk. A sudden move in USD/INR or interest rates could result in MTM losses — although these are typically offset by hedging.

Risk Summary

Section 8: What This Means for Investors — Three Scenarios and a Decision Framework

The Yes Bank equity story sits at an interesting inflection point. The post-restructuring recovery is well-established, the institutional backing is rock solid, the valuation is reasonable but not screamingly cheap, and the risks are real but manageable. The investment decision ultimately comes down to how an investor views the next 18-24 months of execution.

Bull Case: Re-rating to Axis-Federal Range (Target: ₹30-40, 30-75% upside)

Conditions:

• CASA stabilizes at 30-32% by FY27
• NIM expansion to 2.8-3.0% by FY27
• Sustained 15-17% RoE for 4+ consecutive quarters
• Zero governance / asset quality shocks
• Successful retail scaling (home loans, LAP, personal loans)
• Continued FII/DII buying momentum

Valuation: Re-rates to 1.7x-1.9x P/B (Axis/Federal discount). On FY27 book value of ~₹20-22 per share, target CMP = ₹34-42. With CMP at ₹23.02, this represents 50-80% upside over 18-24 months.

Catalysts: Q4 FY26 / Q1 FY27 strong print, RBI rate cuts boosting NIM, RBI lifting some of the post-restructuring restrictions, strategic partnership announcements.

Base Case: Steady-State Compounding (Target: ₹25-30, 10-30% upside)

Conditions:

• CASA stabilizes at 29-31%
• NIM holds at 2.4-2.6%
• RoE sustains at 13-15%
• Stable asset quality (GNPA 1.2-1.5%)
• Moderate advance growth (12-15% CAGR)
• Gradual SBI dilution to 20% over 3-4 years

Valuation: P/B holds at 1.30x-1.50x. On FY27 book value of ~₹20, target CMP = ₹26-30. With CMP at ₹23.02, this represents 15-30% upside with the dividend yield (~0.5%) and book value compounding (~12% per year) providing the floor.

Catalysts: Stable quarterly performance, no negative surprises, gradual FII flows.

Bear Case: Re-imposition of Stress (Target: ₹12-16, 30-50% downside)

Conditions:

• NPA spike to 2.5-3.0%
• CASA drops to 27-28%
• NIM compresses to 2.0-2.2%
• RoE falls to 8-10%
• Governance shock / RBI restriction
• Macro slowdown hitting SME/mid-corporate book
• IndusInd-style derivative or accounting issue

Valuation: Re-rates to 0.7x-0.9x P/B. On book value of ~₹18-20, target CMP = ₹13-18. With CMP at ₹23.02, this represents 25-50% downside.

Catalysts: RBI inspection revealing new stress, large fraud detection, liquidity crunch, MTM losses.

Decision Framework

Bottom Line

Yes Bank at ₹23.02 is not a screaming buy but is a compelling, undervalued mid-cap private bank for investors with a 2-3 year horizon. The P/B of 1.40x is fair to cheap versus peers, the ROE of 14.0% is in line with private bank averages, and the SBI anchor + LIC + four-bank consortium provides governance comfort that is unique in Indian banking. The key risks are CASA erosion and NPA cycle volatility, both of which need to be monitored quarter-on-quarter.

My recommendation: For investors with a 24-36 month horizon and a 3-5% portfolio allocation tolerance, Yes Bank is a BUY at current levels with a target of ₹30 over 18-24 months and a stop-loss at ₹18. The risk-reward is asymmetric — approximately +30% on the base case, +75% on the bull case, -25% on the bear case — a 1.2-3.0 reward-to-risk ratio that is attractive for patient capital.

For investors with a 6-12 month horizon, it makes more sense to wait for the next 2-3 quarterly prints to confirm CASA stabilization and asset quality resilience before initiating a position. The stock at ₹23.02 has +30% upside to base-case fair value, -25% downside to bear-case stress scenario, and is a coin-flip on risk-reward at the current price.

Key Levels to Watch

• Support: ₹20 (200-DMA), ₹18 (psychological), ₹16 (52-week low)
• Resistance: ₹26 (recent high), ₹30 (bull-case target), ₹32 (52-week high)
• Trigger to upgrade: CASA crossing 32% AND NIM crossing 2.8% in a single quarter
• Trigger to downgrade: Slippages crossing 200 bps in a single quarter OR GNPA crossing 2.0%
