My View On Bajaj Finance

About The Company


This company provide finance to the customers to buy two-wheelers which should have actually seen a dip, given the soaring interest rates and thereby culling demand, Bajaj Auto Finance has emerged victorious. Despite Bajaj Auto reporting a fall in the sale of its two-wheelers, month after month, this company which finances the two-wheelers also has posted a very good performance for third quarter ended 31st Dec 2008.


About The Results


For current Q3, the company has shown a 44% rise in net sales on a YoY at Rs.157.46 crore which on QoQ was up 15.6%. Despite operating expenses going up by 25% and interest coming down marginally by 2%, the rise in PAT has been phenomenal – it has gone up by a whopping 147% on a QoQ and 40% on a YoY at Rs.11.28 crore. Deployments were down at Rs.612 crore and the company has tightened its credit lines across all its products.

The company’s bad debts for the quarter rose by a sharp 54% at Rs.45.81 crore and its recovery commission was up 13% at Rs.10.91 crore.


Clues In the Stock


Clearly, the jump in the topline has helped the company and this jump was achieved through some smart marketing strategies. During Q3, it launched a new scheme – Loan against property across 11 cities in India. And this scheme, as the name suggest, offered loans against the properties – residential or commercial, for amounts ranging from Rs.25 lakhs to Rs.10 crore. This was sweetened with unique features like rewards for prepayment, nil preclosure charges, free personal accident coverage and non-medical insurance cover too. And for the two wheelers that it finances, it announced a scheme wherein it gave free extended warranty on all the Bajaj Auto vehicles it finances.
