Bajaj Auto Share Price Surges Ahead of Dividend Payment Date: Is an Investment Opportune?

Bajaj Auto Share Price Hits Fresh 52-Week High Amid Strong Buying Interest

Bajaj Auto share price surged over 2% to reach a new 52-week high on Wednesday, driven by significant buying interest in the auto stock. The stock climbed as high as 2.26% to ₹10,831.45 apiece on the BSE, marking a notable gain in the market.

The rally in Bajaj Auto share price comes ahead of the dividend record date this week. The company had announced a dividend along with its financial results for the fourth quarter and financial year ended March 2026. Bajaj Auto had recommended a dividend of ₹150 per share, which is 1,500% of the face value of ₹10 each on equity shares for the financial year ended 31 March 2026.

The auto major had also announced a share buyback of ₹5,633 crore, its second in three years, along with the Q4 results. Bajaj Auto said that it will buy back up to 4,694,000 fully paid-up equity shares of the company having a face value of ₹10 each, representing up to 1.68% of the total number of Equity Shares in the paid-up equity share capital.

Axis Securities remains bullish on Bajaj Auto, supported by strong multi-cylinder growth triggers across domestic premium motorcycles, export rebound, a disciplined three-wheelers, and Electric Vehicles (EV) scaleup, and a sharply improving financial services business through BACL. Despite near-term noise around EV supply chain constraints, Bajaj's capital-efficient model, leadership in key segments, and countercyclical balance sheet strength support rerating potential, Axis Securities said.
