Bajaj Finance, in an exchange filing dated June 6, announced that June 16, 2025, will be the record date to determine shareholders eligible for the upcoming stock split and bonus share issue. Following this announcement, the company’s shares rose by 5% on Friday, closing at ₹9,372.
In an earlier filing dated April 29, Bajaj Finance’s board approved a 2:1 stock split. This means every existing equity share with a face value of ₹2 will be divided into two equity shares of ₹1 each. The aim of this move is to lower the share price, making it more affordable and accessible to retail investors.
Along with the stock split, Bajaj Finance announced a 4:1 bonus share issue. This means that for every one fully paid-up equity share of ₹1 face value held (post-split), shareholders will receive four additional bonus shares of ₹1 each.
In addition to the stock split and bonus share announcement, Bajaj Finance also declared a final dividend of ₹44 per share for the financial year 2024–25. This amounts to a 2,200% payout based on the share’s face value of ₹2. The record date for this dividend was set as May 30.
For the March 2025 quarter (Q4 FY25), Bajaj Finance posted a 19% year-on-year rise in its consolidated net profit, which reached ₹4,545.6 crore. However, its net interest income (NII) came in slightly below expectations, totalling ₹9,807.1 crore versus the forecasted ₹9,880.9 crore.
