Bajaj Finance stock was trading at INR 954 on the NSE on October 8, 2026 at 1:01 p.m. IST, down 1.02 percent from the prior close. The lender's latest operating update showed continued expansion in assets under management and customer accounts.
September growth reached 26.5 percent
According to CNBC TV18 on October 3, Bajaj Finance reported provisional September quarter AUM of INR 5.85 trillion as of September 30, 2026, up 26.5 percent from INR 4.62 trillion a year earlier. The customer franchise reached 128.85 million, compared with 110.64 million in the year-ago quarter.
New loans booked rose 11 percent year over year to 13.45 million from 12.17 million. The comparison carries a seasonal caveat because the previous year benefited from an earlier festive period, but the AUM increase still shows that the lending book expanded faster than the loan-count comparison.

Investing.com listed a Buy consensus from 35 analysts, with an average 12-month target of INR 1,165.71, a high target of INR 1,320 and a low target of INR 815. The average target lies 22.19 percent above the October 8 price of INR 954.

Quarterly profit provides another benchmark
