Bajaj Finance: Why this rare Nifty outperformer is likely to reward investors in a muted market

Bajaj Finance has bucked the trend of a declining market, falling only about 2% in 2026 compared to a roughly 13% drop in the Nifty. This outperformance is largely due to a significant capital raise of Rs 17,500 crore, which is expected to boost the company's book value per share by 8% in the next fiscal year. This move could reward investors, especially in a muted market where many stocks are struggling.
