Bajaj Finance Q2 Profit Rises 29%; Brokerages Maintain Buy Ratings Amid Margin ConcernsPreviousNext

Bajaj Finance reported a 29% year-on-year rise in Q2FY27 net profit to Rs 6,367 crore, with assets under management growing 26% to Rs 5.85 lakh crore. Despite a 3% share price decline amid concerns over margin pressure from rising interest rates, brokerages including Nomura, Jefferies, and HSBC maintained 'Buy' ratings with target prices ranging from Rs 1,175 to Rs 1,300. Growth across segments, stable asset quality, and potential capital raises underpin positive outlooks, though regulatory developments remain monitorable.
