Mixed Analyst Views on Bajaj Finance and CEAT Amid Quarterly Results and Outlooks

Bajaj Finance reported strong quarterly growth with a 22% year-on-year AUM increase and improved credit cost, prompting mixed analyst views: Emkay Global Financial recommends reducing the stock with a target price of Rs 950, citing cautious outlook despite operational gains, while Prabhudas Lilladher upgrades to buy with a Rs 1,100 target, highlighting growth in new verticals and improved efficiency. Separately, CEAT posted robust Q4 revenue and EBITDA growth but faces near-term challenges from raw material price hikes, leading Emkay to downgrade it to reduce with a Rs 3,600 target due to margin pressures and demand risks.
