Bajaj Finance share price targets 

PL Capital has a price target of Rs 1100 on the stock post Q4 earnings. 

The brokerage said the NBFC is witnessing sustained traction in new verticals (Cars, Gold, MFI) and new customer addition (15-17 million in FY27). 

The brokerage estimates an AUM growth of 23%/22% in FY27/FY28E and expects FY27 NIM to moderate as hardening of bond yields is likely to impact cost of funds. Asset quality ratios saw improvement across segments while  credit cost improved in Q4 (1.65%) supported by a healthy trend in vintage credit performance. 

Operating expenditure is likely to moderate by 30 bps in FY27 benefited from improved 
FINAI capabilities. 

"We slightly tweak our estimates to account for positive growth  outlook, lower credit cost guidance/improved opex in FY27E. Upgrade to BUY with a  multiple of 4.1x (vs. 3.9x earlier) and a TP of Rs 1,100," said PL capital. 

Axis Securities said the worst for the MSME portfolio is largely behind, and the management remains confident of  resuming double-digit growth in this segment from Q2/Q3FY27 onwards. 

At a systemic level, the firm continues to gain share, with 25 bps market share improvement for every Rs 1 trillion AUM accretion, underscoring its ability to grow nearly 2x of the industry. Axis has a by call with a price target of Rs  1160 against the earlier Rs 1150. 

Brokerage Mirae Asset Sharekhan projects a 26.2% PAT CAGR over FY26–FY28 and maintain a BUY rating with a price target of Rs  1,125 on strong profitability growth, return ratios, resilient asset quality, lower credit cost and  FINAI transformation.
