Bajaj Housing Finance business model risk is low, but valuation risk is high
Lower interest spreads lead to lower return ratios. Sure, Bajaj Housing has a lower spread, and the business model has less risk by virtue of being a mortgage lender. However, its return on assets (RoA) at 2.5% for Q2FY25 is much lower than parent Bajaj Finance’s RoA of 5% plus seen in Q1FY25.
