Bajaj Finserv's Q4 FY26 consolidated results were impacted by temporary MTM losses from insurance investments, with reported revenue growth of 6% to ₹3,858 crore and PAT growth of 5% to ₹2,539 crore. Excluding MTM, revenue grew 14% and PAT 24%. General insurance saw muted GWP growth due to tactical reduction in crop and motor amid pricing pressure, with combined ratio elevated at 113.6%. Life insurance showed strong VNB growth of 29% to ₹709 crore and NBM expansion to 24.5%, driven by protection and group business. Lending subsidiaries Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Housing Finance delivered robust AUM growth of 22% and 23% respectively. Emerging businesses like Bajaj Finserv Health grew revenue 41%, while Bajaj Markets saw planned degrowth due to platform migration. Management guided for improved growth in life insurance and break-even for Bajaj Markets by end of FY27. Key risk: persistency dips in life insurance and elevated claims in government health business could pressure profitability.
