Bajaj Holdings: One of India’s Oldest and Most Successful Business Families

Deepinder Bhatia presented his in-depth investment thesis on Bajaj Holdings (India: BJHI) at Asian Investing Summit 2016.

Bajaj Holdings: Holding company for one of India’s oldest and most successful business families. BJHI owns 32% of India’s 2 nd -largest motorcycle manufacturer (Bajaj Auto) and 39% of a rapidly growing, high-quality finance company (Bajaj Finserv). BJHI trades at a ~60% discount to the market value of the two listed companies plus net cash. Deepinder’s fair value price reflects nearly 50% potential appreciation. This is based on a 40% discount to NAV and 10x “fair value” PE multiple on look- through earnings.
