Stocks to watch: YES Bank, Jet Airways and Hotel Leelaventure

Global cues are likely to dominate investor sentiment on Friday. US equities hit a fresh record high on Thursday, boosted by gains in industrial companies on continued relief that fresh US and China tariffs were less damaging than feared. Asian stocks, too, rose in the early trade.

Here's a list of top stocks that may remain on investors' radar in today's session -

YES Bank: The stock is likely to remain in focus today as the RBI has curtailed the term of Yes Bank's founding CEO Rana Kapoor and asked the private sector lender to look for his replacement by January 2019. Brokerages such as IDFC Securities and Citi have downgraded the stock while Macquarie have maintained 'Outperform' rating.

Hotel Leelaventure: The cash-strapped company on Thursday said it had defaulted on payment of quarterly interest of Rs 21.2 million to LIC. Hotel Leelaventure, which currently has a debt of over Rs 36.62 billion, had issued secured redeemable NCDs on private placement basis, aggregating Rs 900 million to LIC in December 2008.
