Nomura has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on Bajaj Finserv Ltd., setting a target price of ₹2,000, following the exit of Allianz from the joint venture. The brokerage believes that this acquisition will allow Bajaj Finserv to fully control its insurance business, leading to improved decision-making, stronger branding, and the ability to explore new growth areas such as pensions, NRI markets, and potential acquisitions.
Bajaj Finserv has confirmed that the acquisition will be self-funded using the strong balance sheet of the Bajaj Group, without any external borrowings. This strategic move is expected to unlock long-term value for shareholders as the company consolidates its position in the insurance and financial services sector.
