Yes Bank Q1 Results: Net profit rises 58.8% YoY to Rs 801 crore, gross NPA at 1.6%
For Q1 FY26, the bank's net profit surged 57% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹808.6 crore, compared to ₹516 crore in the same quarter last year. The rise in profitability was supported by growth in core income and other income.
Net Interest Income (NII), the bank's core income earned from lending activities, increased by 5.8% YoY to ₹2,370 crore from ₹2,240 crore a year ago. Other income rose significantly to ₹1,824 crore, up from ₹1,270 crore last year, contributing to the improved bottomline.
On the asset quality front, gross NPA ratio remained stable at 1.6%, unchanged from the previous quarter, and improved from 1.7% last year. The net NPA ratio also remained unchanged at 0.3%, reflecting a steady credit performance. Provisions for the quarter fell to ₹284 crore from ₹317 crore in March 2025, further supporting profitability.
However, business growth moderated. Advances grew by just 5.1% YoY to ₹2.41 lakh crore but declined 2% sequentially. Deposits increased by 4% YoY to ₹2.75 lakh crore but also fell 3% compared to the March quarter. The Credit-Deposit Ratio edged up to 87.5% versus 86.5% in March.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) stood at 135.7%, improving from 125% in the March quarter.
During the quarter, Yes Bank maintained its annualised slippage ratio at a 10-quarter low while net interest margins remained at an eight-quarter high.
Recently, Yes Bank made headlines after a consortium of lenders led by State Bank of India announced the sale of a 20% stake to Japan's SMBC for over ₹13,000 crore. This stake sale comes after the consortium rescued Yes Bank from a liquidity crisis in 2020.
The bank remains focused on maintaining asset quality and improving profitability while addressing muted loan and deposit growth.

Intel plans to shed thousands of workers
Intel Corp. is shedding thousands of workers and cutting expenses as its new CEO works to revive the fortunes of the struggling chipmaker that helped launch Silicon Valley but has fallen behind rivals like Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. In a memo to employees Thursday, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the Santa Clara, Calif. company plans to end the year with 75,000 'core' workers excluding subsidiaries, through layoffs and attrition. That's down from 99,500 core employees at the end of last year. The company previously announced a 15% workforce reduction. 'I know the past few months have not been easy. We are making hard but necessary decisions to streamline the organization, drive greater efficiency and increase accountability at every level of the company,' Tan wrote. In addition, Intel will scrap previously planned projects in Germany and Poland and also move assembly and test operations in Costa Rica to larger sites in Vietnam and Malaysia. Costa Rica will remain a 'home to key engineering teams and corporate functions,' Tan said in the memo. In the U.S., the company said it will 'further' slow construction of a semiconductor plant in Ohio. Founded in 1968 at the start of the PC revolution, Intel missed the technological shift to mobile computing triggered by Apple's 2007 release of the iPhone, and it's lagged more nimble chipmakers. Intel's troubles have been magnified since the advent of artificial intelligence — a booming field where the chips made by once-smaller rival Nvidia have become tech's hottest commodity. The Santa Clara, California-based company's market cap was $98.71 billion as of the market close on Thursday, compared with Nvidia's $4.24 trillion. Tan said Intel is focusing on its 'core product portfolio' and artificial intelligence offerings to better serve customers. 'There are no more blank checks,' Tan wrote. 'Every investment must make economic sense.' For the second quarter, Intel reported a loss of $2.9 billion, or 67 cents per share, down from a loss of $1.6 billion, or 38 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, the company posted a loss of 10 cents a share. Revenue was flat at $12.9 billion. Analysts, on average, were expecting adjusted earnings of 1 cent per share on revenue of $12 billion, according to a poll by FactSet. Ortutay writes for the Associated Press.

Lyft plans to launch Benteler autonomous shuttles in U.S. in 2026
Lyft Inc. is partnering with Benteler Group, an Austria-based manufacturer, to deploy autonomous shuttles in the US in late 2026, trying to catch up with rival Uber Technologies Inc. in offering driverless rides. The ride-sharing company will test Benteler's Holon urban electric shuttles for US customers next year, and may expand to thousands of vehicles in more markets globally. The driverless shuttles will initially be deployed in partnership with airports and cities, Lyft said Friday in a statement, dovetailing with the company's recent revival of pooled rides at US airports. Lyft said it will also work with a Benteler sister company, Benteler Trading International, to provide vehicle ownership and financing in the 'tens of millions of dollars' for future fleet expansion. Similar to the robotaxis developed by Inc.'s Zoox, the Holon shuttle is built without regular driving controls like a steering wheel, pedals and windshields. It also has inward-facing seats and can accommodate as many as nine seated and six standing passengers. Last November, Holon sought a temporary exemption from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for some of its requirements for vehicle driver controls. The agency hasn't yet made a decision on the petition. According to Benteler's website, the Holon urban vehicle uses autonomous driving technology from Intel Corp.-backed Mobileye Global Inc. Lyft has a separate driverless partnership deal with Mobileye, which is scheduled to begin as soon as next year in Dallas. No car manufacturing partner has yet been announced for that partnership, and Lyft said Benteler isn't the automaker for that arrangement. Lyft is signing partnerships with autonomous carmakers and technology providers as it prepares to offer its first driverless rides in Atlanta later this year with May Mobility. Meanwhile, Uber already offers driverless rides in Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta in partnership with Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo, as well as in Abu Dhabi with WeRide Inc., with more launches planned globally over the next few years. The rideshare companies have moved away from trying to develop driverless technology in-house, and now want to use the real-time routing expertise it has honed over the years to help carmakers fill their driverless fleets with customers. Lyft said in the statement that it sees Benteler, a maker of automotive and steel products, as a partner with 'extensive production capabilities' that can support its driverless strategy with multiple vehicle types beyond shuttles. Holon's first US manufacturing facility for autonomous shuttles is expected to be completed in 2026 in Jacksonville, Florida, according to an announcement last year by Benteler. Lung writes for Bloomberg.

Motocross of Nations to return to US in 2028, 2031
Infront Moto Racing, the organizers of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), announced that the 2028 and 2031 editions of the race will be held in the United States. Venues have not yet been announced. The 2025 MXoN will be held on October 3-5 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, marking the United States' turn in what has become a three-year rotation. The previous US-based MXoN was held at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, in 2022. 'Today, we are more than happy to announce the extension of our strong relationship with MX Sports and the organization of a third Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in the USA, which will take place in 2031,' said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing. 'This agreement ensures that the most prestigious off-road event of the year will return to the United States every three years through to 2031. 'I would like to personally thank Carrie and Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter, and the entire MX Sports team for their ongoing support and great collaboration over the years. We cannot wait to be at Ironman Raceway this October to celebrate motocross together with the fans.' This year's MXoN marks the sixth time the international event has been held in the US. In addition to RedBud (2018, 2022), the MXoN has been contested at Unadilla in New York (1987), Budds Creek in Maryland (2007), and Thunder Valley in Colorado (2010). Hosting the MXoN has been beneficial to Team USA, which won in 1987, 2007, 2010, and in the most recent race at RedBud. The 2022 winning team consisted of Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper, and Chase Sexton. 'All of us at MX Sports are honored to be chosen as the long-term partner for this prestigious event,' said Davey Coombs, Vice President of MX Sports, Inc. 'We are excited for our domestic fans who will have the opportunity to attend the Motocross of Nations right here at home, and we also look forward to again welcoming international fans to one of America's premier motocross facilities. We have all been passionate supporters of this event, and we are extremely proud to bring it to the United States through 2031, helping to unite the entire motocross world for many years to come. 'We are very proud to partner with Infront in hosting the Motocross of Nations here in the U.S., and we're fortunate to have numerous options for premier racetracks that would serve as exceptional destinations for this historic event, and we look forward to finding the perfect venue for 2031.'
