Bajaj Finance Shares Trade Ex-Bonus and Ex-Split Today: What It Means for Investors
Bajaj Finance shares are grabbing attention on June 16 as they began trading ex-bonus and ex-split on Monday. This adjustment follows the company’s recent announcement of a generous 4:1 bonus issue and a stock split, aimed at increasing liquidity and making the stock more affordable for investors.
Stock Adjusted for Corporate Actions
Bajaj Finance opened at Rs 956 on the NSE today, sharply lower than Friday’s close of Rs 9,331. The difference reflects the stock adjustment for both the bonus issue and the stock split.

As announced during its Q4 earnings on April 29, the company declared a 4:1 bonus issue — meaning shareholders will get four additional shares for every one share they held. Alongside this, the company also approved a stock split, changing the face value of its shares from Rs 2 to Rs 1, thereby doubling the number of shares held post-bonus.
What Happens to Your Shares?
Let’s take a simple example. Suppose you held 10 shares of Bajaj Finance on Friday. After the 4:1 bonus issue, you would get 40 more shares, bringing your total to 50. Then, with the 1:2 stock split, these 50 shares would double — giving you a total of 100 shares.
This move is designed to boost liquidity and attract more retail investors by lowering the entry price of the stock.
Strong Q4 Performance
In its Q4 FY25 results, Bajaj Finance reported a net profit of Rs 4,480 crore, a 17% rise from the same quarter last year. Net interest income stood at Rs 9,807 crore, up 22% year-on-year.

The company disbursed over 1 crore new loans, showing a 36% increase from 78.7 lakh loans in Q4 FY24. This reflects strong demand across segments and consistent growth in digital lending.
Asset Quality and Customer Growth
While the lender reported slight pressure on asset quality, with gross NPAs rising to 0.96% from 0.85% last year, and net NPAs at 0.44%, up from 0.37%, the overall growth story remains intact.
Bajaj Finance’s customer base surged to 10.18 crore, a 22% jump from the previous year, with 47 lakh new customers added in the March quarter alone.
The bonus and stock split not only reward existing shareholders but also open up opportunities for new investors to participate in one of India’s leading NBFCs. For long-term investors, Bajaj Finance continues to show strong fundamentals and growing retail reach.
As of 9:26 am, the stock was trading at Rs 934.50 on the NSE.
