Bajaj Finance stock likely to get a boost after RBI lifts restrictions
Business Standard|May 04, 2024
The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) decision to lift curbs on Bajaj Finance's two products earlier than expected sent the stock on a tear on Friday.

The shares soared 7.5 per cent to €7,400 during intraday trade but erased most of the gains as the markets came under heavy selling pressure.

The stock eventually settled 0.75 per cent higher at ₹6,933 per share against a 0.98 per cent (733 points) fall in the BSE Sensex.

This was Bajaj Finance's biggest single-day rally (intraday) in three years. Bajaj Finance had hit a record high of 8,190 on October 6, 2023.

The development, analysts said, comes as a huge positive surprise as the restrictions have been lifted in less than six months. Similar actions by the RBI usually take around a year.

"The recent development in the beginning of FY25 itself is a positive start for Bajaj Finance. It is expected to boost investor confidence in processes, commitment of management in making things right, and the company's ability to adapt to the changing regulation and business environment," wrote analysts at Emkay Global.

On Thursday, Bajaj Finance said the RBI had lifted restrictions on 'eCOM' and online digital 'Insta EMI Card' with immediate effect.
