Bajaj Finance Ltd., a titan in the Indian non-banking financial sector, has captured market attention with a crucial announcement. The company's board of directors is set to meet on April 29, 2025, to deliberate on three major corporate actions—a stock split, a bonus share issue, and an interim dividend—alongside the review of its March quarter results.
This revelation came via a regulatory filing on April 23. The stock responded modestly to the development, trading 0.5% higher at Rs 9,370 apiece as of 10:05 AM on April 24.
With a staggering 35% return in 2025 so far, Bajaj Finance has added over Rs 1.5 lakh crore to investor wealth. The company also touched a 52-week high of Rs 9,660 on April 24, taking its market capitalisation close to Rs 6 lakh crore.
The proposed stock split and bonus issue are strategic moves aimed at enhancing liquidity and broadening retail participation. A stock split lowers the share price by increasing the number of outstanding shares, making them more accessible. A bonus issue distributes additional shares to existing shareholders without additional cost, effectively boosting overall shareholding.
An interim dividend, if approved, would mean shareholders receive a portion of the year’s profits ahead of the final dividend declaration.
Given Bajaj Finance's stature as a blue-chip NBFC offering diverse financial products—from consumer finance to SME and commercial lending—these corporate decisions are expected to play a significant role in market dynamics and investor sentiment.
Investors and market watchers are advised to monitor the April 29 board meeting closely, as it will set the tone for Bajaj Finance’s near-term strategy and investor rewards.
