Ashika Stock Broking, which has a 'Hold' on the stock, said IndusInd Bank is nearing the end of its transition phase following the management overhaul undertaken post the accounting discrepancies identified last year. 

"With the core leadership team now largely in place, the focus is expected to shift towards execution. Management expects credit growth to gradually revert to industry levels following the 8 per cent decline in the loan book in FY26," Ashika said. 

The brokerage expects the recovery in growth to be gradual, given the ongoing portfolio recalibration and the need to rebuild momentum across key business segments. "Accordingly, we estimate advances and deposits to deliver a CAGR of 9 per cent each over FY26-FY28E, driving a gradual improvement in profitability," Ashika said.

In the case of YES Bank, the scrip has eight 'Sell' calls, two 'Hold' and just two 'Buy' calls. The private lender posted less than pexpected profit growth in Q1. Kotak Institutional Equities suggeted a target of Rs 20 on the stock, ICICI Securities finds it worth Rs 24, while Morgan Stanley and Investec pegged its target price at Rs 15 each. The highest target on the stock, as per Bloomberg, is by Axis Capital at Rs 28.

"On a QoQ basis, PAT was flattish due to higher provision as SR redemptions were muted. RoA improved to 0.9 per cent vs 0.8 per cent YoY, but was lower QoQ. Loan growth accelerated to 18 per cent YoY, although, was largely driven by corporate (up 40 per cent YoY)," ICICI Securities said. 

Despite higher credit growth, YES Bank posted a PAT miss, mainly due to higher provisions on account of slower SR recoveries and staff cost. NIM was flat but remained relatively soft. Headline asset quality was stable, though SME witnessed uptick in slippages, said Nuvama Institutional Equities.

Dixon Tech's target of Rs 13,420 against the prevailing price of Rs 14,551 suggests 7.8 per cent downside. That said, fresh targets on the stock from Investec (Rs 16,200), UBS (Rs 16,300), Nomura (Rs 13,813), HSBC (Rs 16,000) and Macquarie (Rs 16,000) hints at potential upside on the counter.
