- The review period for the March rebalance of the S&P/ASX 200 and related indices ends on 16 February. The announcement of the changes will come couple of weeks later.
- There were HUGE inflows to mainland China ETFs for yet another week as Central Huijin indicated that they would continue to buy/create ETFs units.
Bajaj Finance (BAF): A Sustained Growth Powerhouse
- Q3FY24 performance was slightly below expectation led by NIM margin compression and marginally elevated credit costs. Certain regulatory restrictions also dampened growth and profitability.
- However, from a medium-term perspective, BAF is setting up well to be a sustained growth powerhouse. It has widened its product catalogue and is deepening the product availability per branch.
- Led by growth tailwinds and market share gains, BAF has potential to grow at 25%+ for a prolonged period. The current headwinds seem temporary and provide a buying opportunity.
