Bajaj Auto shares experienced a significant drop of 8% on Thursday, despite reporting a 5% increase in total sales for September 2026. The primary boost came from a surge in exports, which grew by 32% year-on-year to 2.43 lakh units. However, domestic sales declined by 9%, falling to 2.94 lakh units. Analysts had anticipated a growth of 11-12%, but Bajaj Auto's actual sales were lower than expected.
The stock plummeted as much as 7.91% to ₹10,000 on the BSE, only to recover slightly to a trading price of ₹10,019 by 10:55 am. Over the past six months, Bajaj Auto's total sales surged 24% year-on-year, reaching 29.87 lakh units, while exports increased by 47%, reaching 15.11 lakh units. Despite recent weakness, Bajaj Auto shares have still delivered a 14% gain over six months and an 18% return over the past year.
