Monday, 19 January: Stock Hits 52-Week and All-Time Lows Amid Market Weakness


Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd’s share price declined to Rs.91.37 on 19 January 2026, marking a fresh 52-week low and an all-time low of Rs.91.6 during the session. The stock fell 1.13% on the day, underperforming the Sensex which dropped 0.49%. This decline extended a three-day losing streak, with the stock down cumulatively 2.9% over that period. The stock traded below all major moving averages, signalling sustained bearish momentum. Despite the price weakness, the company’s fundamentals remained strong, with a 27.65% CAGR in operating profits and a 30.00% annual growth in net sales. However, the market’s cautious stance was reflected in the downgrade to a Mojo Grade of ‘Sell’ issued in November 2025.



Tuesday, 20 January: New Lows Amid Broader Market Retreat


The downtrend continued on 20 January as Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd’s stock closed at Rs.89.80, a new 52-week low of Rs.90.3 and an all-time low of Rs.90.41 recorded intraday. The stock declined 1.72%, marginally outperforming its sector but underperforming the Sensex which fell 1.82%. This marked four consecutive sessions of losses, with a cumulative decline of approximately 4%. Technical indicators remained bearish with the stock trading below all key moving averages. The broader market environment was challenging, with the Sensex down for the third consecutive week. Despite this, the company reported its highest quarterly net sales of Rs.2,754.85 crore and a peak PBDIT of Rs.2,502.17 crore, highlighting operational strength amid market pressures.

Wednesday, 21 January: Further Decline to New Lows Despite Market Recovery


On 21 January, Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd’s stock fell to Rs.88.15, setting fresh 52-week and all-time lows. The stock declined 0.69% intraday and closed near these lows despite the Sensex recovering 0.19% that day. This marked five consecutive sessions of decline, with a cumulative loss of 5.11%. The stock underperformed its sector by 0.4%, continuing to trade below all major moving averages. The company’s fundamentals remained robust, with a return on equity of 11.1% and a price-to-book ratio of 3.5, reflecting fair valuation metrics. Quarterly results showed consistent profitability, but the market remained cautious amid the stock’s sustained downtrend.



Thursday, 22 January: Brief Recovery on Positive Market Sentiment


After several days of decline, Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd’s stock rebounded on 22 January, closing at Rs.90.56, up 1.55%. This recovery coincided with a positive Sensex gain of 0.76%, reflecting a broader market bounce. The stock’s volume was lower compared to previous days, suggesting a cautious but temporary relief rally. Despite this uptick, the stock remained below all key moving averages, indicating that the medium-term bearish trend was intact. The company’s strong operating profit to interest coverage ratio of 1.51 times and record quarterly PBDIT of Rs.2,502.17 crore underscored its operational resilience amid market volatility.



Friday, 23 January: Week Ends Lower on Heavy Selling Pressure


The week concluded with Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd’s stock falling 2.42% to Rs.88.37 on 23 January, on volume of over one million shares. This decline outpaced the Sensex’s 1.33% drop, signalling renewed selling pressure. The stock’s performance for the week was a 4.37% loss, underperforming the Sensex’s 3.31% decline. The sustained weakness was reflected in the stock’s trading below all major moving averages and its Mojo Grade of ‘Sell’. Despite the negative price action, the company’s fundamentals remained solid, with net sales growth of 30% annually and a 25% increase in profits over the past year, highlighting a disconnect between market valuation and operational performance.
