PL Capital Report
Bajaj Finance Ltd.'s assets under management grew 25% YoY to Rs 4,414.5 bn; we expect a similar run-rate in FY26E as the company adds new verticals (Cars, Gold, MFI) and customers (~14-16 million).
Expect NIM to improve by ~10 bps in FY26 supported by a lower cost of borrowing. Credit cost continues to be elevated in the quarter (at 2%) on account of higher stress in the auto/ MSME portfolio.
Expect a moderation in FY26, factoring a healthy trend in early-stage delinquencies.
We make minor changes to our FY26/FY27 estimates and assign a multiple of 3.9x (unchanged) on Mar'27 adjusted book value with a target price of Rs 900.
While we are positive on the growth outlook and execution capability of the management, valuation continues to be rich (trading at 1-year forward of P/ABV of 4.6x). Maintain Hold.
