Bajaj Finance shares have recently attracted a lot of attention after the company announced that its board of directors will meet on April 29, 2025. This meeting is expected to cover important decisions that could boost the value for shareholders. Following this news, Bajaj Finance’s stock price rose by 4% when the market opened, reaching ₹9,620 per share. However, as of now, the share price is slightly lower, down by 0.06%, at ₹9,317.
During this board meeting, the company is set to review and approve its financial performance for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025. The board will also discuss the earnings for the entire financial year 2024-2025. One key item on the agenda is the consideration of a Special (Interim) Dividend for the current financial year.
Another significant proposal up for discussion is the potential sub-division (or stock split) of the company’s existing shares, which currently have a face value of ₹2 each. Along with this, the board will also consider issuing bonus shares to shareholders. It’s worth noting that Bajaj Finance has taken similar steps in the past. In 2016, the company carried out a stock split, reducing the face value of its shares from ₹10 to ₹2, and also issued bonus shares on a 1:1 basis.
These potential changes sparked a positive response in the market, with Bajaj Finance’s stock hitting a 52-week high after the announcement. The share price opened at ₹9,620 on the NSE, 3.1% higher than its previous closing price. As of 10:55 AM, the stock price stands at ₹9,317.
Looking at the performance over the past few months, Bajaj Finance shares have been doing well. The stock has gained 4.5% in the last month and more than 25% in the past three months. Since the beginning of 2025, the share price has increased by 35%. Over the past year, investors have seen a return of 28%. In the last two years, the stock has grown by 57%, and over the past five years, it has delivered an impressive 329% return.
In its latest business update as of March 31, 2025, Bajaj Finance reported a 26% year-on-year increase in its assets under management (AUM), which reached ₹416,750 crore, compared to ₹330,615 crore in the previous year. The company’s deposit book also saw strong growth, rising by 19% to ₹71,400 crore, up from ₹60,151 crore in FY24.
With the board meeting scheduled for April 29, all eyes will be on the outcomes of the financial results, the special dividend, stock split, and bonus share proposal. These decisions could have a significant impact on Bajaj Finance’s stock price and the returns for its shareholders.
