Bajaj finance should be a growth story for next 10 years. There is a huge market which is still untapped.
I hope the management doesn’t scarifies the credit quality for the growth. Company reported compounded revenue growth of 43% in last 10 years (same in last 5 years). Should not be difficult for a company to grow 20% for next 5 to 10 years

disclosure: invested …2.5 beggar

What a rally in the stock price…even in the face if Tax Notice…SMILING AWAY TO THE BANK!!!

HELP HELP…! Bajaj Finance one of the top investment in my portfolio is now 3 begar.!
Stock at current market price 6300/- trades at P/B of 7x and P/E of 32x.
Best in industry - NPA 0.5 , ROA 3%, ROE 20%

I always struggle in determining fair valuation for banks and NBFC’s? With P/E ratio, stock looks at comfortable level but with 7x P/B, it looks very expensive.

Please help me out here.

Bajaj Finance gets Tax 309 Cr tax notice for 0% scheme. Source: DNA India news

Is it worth to sell this stock (as it is very expensive now and risk to reward doesn’t look good) and invest in other beaten down good quality companies? Do we ever had any NBFC’s selling at P/B of almost 7??? (Other than Gruh)

With P/E of 30, it still looks reasonable valuations. Please advise

Does anyone really understand Price to Book? I think the market values this stock on a PE basis rather than on a PB basis.

@pumba22

Bajaj Finance is a strong company with unparalleled moat in scale and opportunity in Consumer Durable Sector! If you look at the economy although many manufacturing indices are falling what is growing is the Services sector and employment growth rates and company hikes which works strongly for Bajaj Finance! It is a indirect play on consumer durables sector!

It can be a good PF stock for 10-15 years, as long you buy it at right price! Buy it @5000 and hold it with conviction , it wont dissapoint you and should beat the FD returns!
