Bajaj Auto, a leading two-wheeler manufacturer in India, reported its highest-ever quarterly profit of ₹2,746 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26, marking a 34% increase from ₹2,049 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations also surged 32% year-on-year to ₹16,006 crore. Following this announcement, Bajaj Auto's shares rose over 3% to ₹10,656 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The company also revealed a share buyback plan worth ₹5,633 crore, targeting the repurchase of nearly 46.94 lakh equity shares at ₹12,000 each, representing a 16% premium over the previous closing price. Additionally, a dividend of ₹150 per share was declared for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, with the record date set for May 29, 2026.
Brokerages have reacted positively to the results.
