Bajaj Housing shares may dive 21%, believes Kotak Equities. Initiates coverage with Rs 100 target

Kotak Institutional Equities has initiated a “sell” rating on Bajaj Housing Finance, citing expensive valuations and a potential 21% downside risk. The brokerage expects 25% earnings growth over FY2024-27E but projects flat margins and moderate RoE. Despite strong asset quality, competition and rising rates pose risks.
