HSBC downgrades Bajaj Housing Finance share to reduce, sets target price at Rs 100 on EPS growth concerns

HSBC has downgraded Bajaj Housing Finance share to a reduce rating with a target price of Rs 100, citing headwinds that could weigh on earnings growth despite healthy asset under management (AUM) expansion in Q4FY24.

  • The brokerage noted that while AUM growth remained strong, the quarter was impacted by a high cost ratio and yield compression, attributed to increased competition.

  • HSBC expects a slowdown in EPS growth, driven by pressure on AUM expansion, net interest margin (NIM) compression, and normalisation of credit costs.

  • Consequently, it has revised down its FY26–27 EPS estimates by 2.8%–3.1%.
