Global Financial’s recent report predicts that Bajaj Finserv’s stock could see an additional 13% increase from its current price. The brokerage has rated the shares as “Buy” and set a target price of ₹2,150.
This prediction follows a strong performance, with Bajaj Finserv’s stock rising around 22% over the past month. Furthermore, Bajaj Housing Finance, a subsidiary, is about to be listed on the stock exchanges next week, which could add to the positive momentum.

Resilient Performance of BALIC: Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company (BALIC) has performed well during tough times and is now a leading non-bank-owned franchise.
Business Expansion: Bajaj Finserv’s entry into new areas, such as asset management and securities, along with opportunities in the health sector, enhances its growth prospects.
