Bajaj Finance Declares Final Dividend of ₹6 Per Share for FY26
Bajaj Finance recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per share for FY26, including a special payout of ₹0.60 from BHFL sale gains. The company reported a FY26 profit after tax of ₹17,803.87 crore, up from ₹16,661.50 crore in FY25. EPS for FY26 was ₹28.65 basic.
The dividend announcement is a positive development for shareholders. However, the impact is moderate as it is a standard financial event for a company of this size and the amount, while positive, does not represent a significant change in financial structure or strategic direction.
The declaration of a final dividend, especially with a special payout, is generally viewed positively by investors as it indicates profitability and a commitment to returning value to shareholders. The increase in profit after tax and EPS further supports a positive sentiment.
Bajaj Finance Limited's Board of Directors, in their meeting on April 29, 2026, recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share of face value ₹1 each for the financial year ended 2026.

This recommended dividend is subject to shareholder approval.

The company's total income for the year ended March 31, 2026, was ₹69,853.95 crore, with total expenses amounting to ₹47,348.43 crore, resulting in a profit before tax of ₹23,671.90 crore.
