Bajaj Auto moved lower.

· LiveMint Markets

Bajaj Auto shares fell nearly 8% following weak September sales data, revealing a 9% annual decline in domestic sales. Despite a slight recovery, concerns remain over market share loss to competitors like Honda and Hero ahead of the festive season.

Bajaj Auto reported movement of 8%, 9% and 18%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Against that, the stock is -2.0% on the day at ₹9,686.00, and has returned -4.4% over three months. It sits 22% below its 52-week high. The auto sector has moved -4.1% over the same period, so Bajaj Auto is running 0.3 points behind its peers.

For Bajaj Auto, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the auto peer set alongside it.

  • The company directly in focus is BAJAJ-AUTO.
  • Sector exposure: Auto.
  • The immediate tone of coverage reads negative.
