Bajaj Finance Shares Trade Higher on Strong Financial Performance and Shareholder Rewards.
The non-banking financial company has demonstrated robust growth in sales and profits, complemented by a series of investor-friendly corporate actions including dividends, a bonus issue, and a stock split.
Mumbai, India – Shares of Bajaj Finance were trading in positive territory on Thursday, reflecting the company’s solid financial health and recent initiatives to reward its shareholders. The stock was trading at Rs 879.10, a modest gain in the day’s session, having fluctuated between a high of Rs 882.00 and a low of Rs 867.25. This steady performance comes on the back of impressive financial results for the fiscal year and quarter ending in 2025.
The company’s consolidated financials reveal a consistent upward trajectory. For the year ending March 2025, Bajaj Finance reported a significant 26.76% increase in sales, reaching Rs 69,683 Crore, up from Rs 54,969 Crore in the previous fiscal year. Net profit also saw a substantial rise of 16.05% to Rs 16,761 Crore. The positive trend continued into the first quarter of the new fiscal year, with sales for the quarter ending June 2025 standing at Rs 19,523 Crore and a net profit of Rs 4,764 Crore. This represents a 21.8% year-on-year increase in net profit for the quarter.
In a move to enhance shareholder value, Bajaj Finance has undertaken several corporate actions in 2025. The company announced a final dividend of Rs 44.00 per share and a special dividend of Rs 12.00 per share. Furthermore, shareholders benefited from a 4:1 bonus issue and a stock split that changed the face value of each share from Rs 2 to Rs 1, both with an ex-date of June 16, 2025. These actions are aimed at increasing the liquidity of the stock and making it more accessible to a wider range of investors.
The company’s strong financial position is further underscored by its growing assets and healthy financial ratios. Total assets swelled to Rs 466,126 Crore as of March 2025, a significant increase from Rs 375,741 Crore in the preceding year. Key metrics such as Return on Equity and Return on Assets have remained robust.
Adding to the positive developments, Moody’s Ratings recently assigned a ‘Baa3’ Corporate Family Rating (CFR) with a stable outlook to Bajaj Finance on August 4, 2025. This investment-grade rating reflects the company’s strong market position and financial standing.
Despite the strong financial performance and shareholder-friendly actions, an analysis from Moneycontrol on August 4, 2025, indicated a bearish sentiment on the stock. This suggests that while the company’s fundamentals are strong, some market participants may have a more cautious short-term outlook.
Overall, Bajaj Finance’s consistent growth in revenue and profitability, coupled with its commitment to rewarding shareholders and a new investment-grade credit rating, paints a positive picture for the non-banking financial giant.
