Bajaj Finance (BAF): A Sustained Growth Powerhouse

By Ankit Agrawal, CFA

  • 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.
