MeridStreet AI summary

Bajaj Finance shares jumped 5% after the company released its Q2 business update. This surge in the stock price is largely due to the Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) reporting a significant 26.5% year-over-year growth in its assets under management (AUM) to nearly Rs 5.85 lakh crore. The strong growth in AUM has led Jefferies, a global investment bank, to reaffirm its Buy rating and target price of Rs 1,280, implying a potential 35% upside in the stock.
