Yes Bank has suffered a lot in the last few months. The leading private sector bank has been facing lot of negative news and the latest quarterly results have turned it bearish. The stock could move slightly down from current levels and long term investors can buy at declines.

Prices are in a bearish trend. Since the last few quarters stock has been in the news. Due to concern over its Balance sheet, Asset quality, exposure to IL&FS, Directors and now RBI appointing an additional director for two years.

The Benchmark Nifty50 started the week on a negative note due to some profit booking from higher levels and remained range bound in the short trading week, as markets were closed on Monday and Wednesday. It traded between the range of 11800 to 11650 levels on daily charts.

Nifty is consolidating around higher levels but could not sustain above important levels of 11800. Traders are cautious of general elections as now the elections have entered its midway. However, the slowdown in economic growth could be a matter of concern for traders & investors. Once Nifty sustains above 11800 levels then we could see a further uptrend in it but if it does not sustain above this level then there could be fall in Nifty till the support of 11550 levels.

Bull run is expected according to chart formation any dip should be taken as buying opportunity.

While large investors and institutions bet their money on large cap stocks, majority of small and medium investors make their money from mid-cap or small cap companies. Large caps are considered safe bets but small caps and mid-caps offer better returns if the companies perform as expected.

TopNews team has been keeping a keen watch on some mid-cap and small-cap companies. Most of these stocks are fairly priced and in many of these cases, the stock valuation is low due to concerns over management.

Yes Bank stock suffered a major decline in the stock market on Tuesday after the bank reported first ever quarterly loss. The bank reported a loss mainly due to write-off related to IL&FS exposure. Market analysts are expecting that Yes Bank stock could drop even further and touch 52-week low. Buying right now may not be the best strategy as the stock could offer opportunity at lower levels.

As per views of Mr. Manish Yadav, Head of Research, CapitalAim, after steep fall of stock to 165 level, we would advise short term traders to avoid buying at current levels and look for buying opportunity only around 130 levels for a bounce back.
