Cleaner growth for Bajaj Fin?
Mint Kolkata
|May 01, 2026
Bajaj Finance continued its streak of consistency in Q4FY26, with the non-banking financial company again delivering over 20% year-on-year growth in assets under management (AUM).
This time, its AUM surpassed the ₹5-trillion milestone while it also maintained its sector-leading profitability metrics.
Net profit rose 22% year-on-year (yo-y) to ₹5,550 crore, supported by 20% growth in net interest income and a sharp moderation in credit costs. Provisioning declined meaningfully as stress formation eased across key segments. On cue, the stock gained 1% on Thursday, outperforming the broader Nifty 50 index, which fell almost 0.75%.
Besides AUM growth, what enthused investors is the expected change in the quality of growth.
