The mid cap stock has declined 89% in last one year and fallen 48% since the beginning of this year. There were only buyers, no sellers for the stock in morning trade. Market capitalization of the lender rose to Rs 6,491 crore on BSE. 6.19 lakh shares of YES Bank changed hands amounting to a turnover of Rs 1.53 crore in early trade. The stock has gained 358% since it hit all-time low of Rs 5.55 on March 6.

However, the stock is still down 91.09% from its 52 week high of Rs 285.90. RBI on March 5 superseded the bank’s board and capped withdrawals by depositors at Rs 50,000. The central bank also superseded the board of YES Bank and appointed Prashant Kumar, former Deputy Managing Director and CFO of State Bank of India, as administrator. This led to 85% percent crash intra day on the YES Bank share counter on March 6.
