Bank of India, Dr Reddy’s Lab, JK Lakshmi Cement, and YES Bank are among the 33 companies scheduled to report their Q2 earnings on Friday.
Analysts expect Yes Bank to report a loss up to Rs 1,907.3 crore due to exposure to bankrupt companies like DHFL, McLeod Russel, and Cox & Kings. However, all eyes would be on the Board’s decision with regards to the receipt of a binding offer worth $1.2 billion by a global investor.
