Bajaj Finance's board (met April 29, 2025) declared a special interim dividend of Rs. 12 per share (600%) from the exceptional gain on sale of its stake in Bajaj Housing Finance during the September 2024 IPO, and recommended a final dividend of Rs. 44 per share (2200%) for FY25, taking total dividends to Rs. 56 per share (up from Rs. 36 last year). The board also approved a stock split of 1 equity share of Rs. 2 face value into 2 shares of Re. 1, along with a bonus issue of 4:1 (4 bonus shares for every 1 held), both subject to shareholder approval via postal ballot and to be completed by June 27, 2025. FY25 standalone PAT grew about 32% to Rs. 16,661.50 crore on total income of Rs. 59,419.84 crore; Q4 PAT rose to Rs. 3,940.44 crore from Rs. 3,401.91 crore a year ago. Asset quality stayed strong with gross NPA at 1.18% and net NPA at 0.56%, and net worth stood at Rs. 87,995.71 crore. The 38th AGM is scheduled for July 24, 2025.
A highly shareholder-friendly package: a bumper combined dividend, a stock split to improve affordability, and a sizeable 4:1 bonus will boost share count 10x post-split. Expect the stock to adjust lower on the ex-dates, but the actions signal strong confidence backed by robust FY25 earnings and a healthy balance sheet.
