◆ What They Do

Bajaj Finance is one of India's largest and most profitable non-bank lenders (an NBFC). It hands out small, fast loans to everyday people and businesses — for phones, appliances, two-wheelers, personal needs, homes and working capital. It earns the gap between the low rate it borrows at and the higher rate it lends at, plus fees.

▲ Key Risks
  • Credit cycle: a downturn makes more borrowers default — the core risk for any lender.
  • RBI regulation: rules on lending, provisioning and rates can slow growth or squeeze margins.
  • Rising funding costs: higher interest rates narrow the lending spread.
  • Competition: banks and fintechs chasing the same borrowers pressure yields.
  • Rich valuation: priced for strong growth — any slowdown can de-rate the stock.
