Bajaj Finserv Ltd (BAJAJFINSV) Q4FY26 Concall Summary - Mar-2026 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The company reported a consolidated total income growth of 6% and a PAT growth of 5%, which were significantly impacted by temporary MTM losses on the insurance companies' investment portfolios due to geopolitical tensions. Excluding this impact, the adjusted revenue and PAT growth would have been a much healthier 14% and 24%, respectively.
- The general insurance business saw muted GWP growth due to a tactical reduction in exposure to crop and motor segments amid pricing pressures, leading to an elevated combined ratio for the quarter.
- The life insurance business demonstrated strong performance in line with its "Bajaj Life 2.0" strategy, with a 29% growth in VNB and an NBM expansion to 24.5%, driven by a significant increase in the retail protection business.
- The lending businesses, Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Housing Finance, delivered a robust quarter with strong AUM growth of 22% and 23% respectively, while maintaining healthy asset quality and operating efficiencies.
- A significant strategic milestone was the completion of the buyback of the remaining 3% stake from Allianz, making the insurance subsidiaries 100% Bajaj-owned entities, which is expected to enhance RoE and RoEV going forward.
