This NBFC Shares Rise 4% after Stock Split And Bonus Date

On Monday, Bajaj Finance shares rose by up to 4.2 percent, touching a day’s high price of Rs. 9,765 from their previous closing price of Rs. 9,371.50. Recently, Bajaj Finance had announced a 1:2 stock split and a 4:1 bonus share issue. The board approved this move on April 29 alongside the company’s Q4 and FY25 results, which aim to improve liquidity and market participation. 

Under the stock split, every existing equity share of face value Rs. 2 will be split into two shares of Rs. 1 each, fully paid-up. Simultaneously, the bonus issue will grant the existing shareholders four additional shares for every share held as of the record date, which can significantly increase the number of outstanding shares and thus make the stock more accessible to a broader investor base. The record date is set for June 16, 2025.

The announcement follows a period of strong financial performance. In Q4FY25, Bajaj Finance reported a net profit of Rs. 4,546 crore, marking a 19 percent year-on-year increase. This growth was fuelled by a 26 percent rise in assets under management (AUM), which reached Rs. 4.16 lakh crore, and a 22 percent jump in net interest income to Rs. 9,807 crore. The company’s total income for the quarter grew 23 percent to Rs. 11,917 crore, while new loans booked surged by 36 percent to 10.7 million. Asset quality remained stable, with gross non-performing assets (GNPA) at 0.96 percent and net NPA at 0.44 percent.

For the full fiscal year FY25, Bajaj Finance’s consolidated net profit rose 16 percent to Rs. 16,779 crore from Rs. 14,451 crore in FY24. Notably, AUM growth was driven by a remarkable 81 percent increase in gold loans, a 68 percent rise in car loans, and a 33 percent increase in urban B2C loans. The company’s FY26 guidance projects AUM growth of 24 to 25% and return on equity (RoE) of 19 to 20%.

Apart from these financial milestones, Bajaj Finance has undergone significant leadership changes in 2025. From April 1, Anup Kumar Saha, who previously worked as Deputy Managing Director, has been appointed as the new Managing Director (MD), succeeding Rajeev Jain, who has transitioned to the role of Vice Chairman for a three-year term. On June 7th, 2025, the members of the company approved this transition. 

Additionally, the company has strengthened its executive team by promoting Manish Jain, Sidhant Dadwal, and Harjeet Toor as deputy chief executive officers. This move is part of a broader strategy to improve decision-making and align leadership with evolving business priorities. 

Bajaj Finance’s recent performance, FY26 guidance, leadership changes, and long-term initiatives underscore its commitment to maintain growth, operational excellence, and shareholder value creation.
