Private sector lender YES Bank continued to be under pressure, and its scrip fell nearly 6 per cent on the BSE on Tuesday, nearing an almost five-year low.

Target price

Global brokerage firm UBS had cut the target price to ₹90 from ₹170, and had maintained a “sell rating”.

Analysts have also been raising concerns over the bank’s asset quality after it reported a net loss of ₹1,507 crore in the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Last week, Moody’s placed ratings of YES Bank under review for a downgrade due to its high exposure to the struggling NBFC and real estate sectors.
