Stock market today: After receiving record bids exceeding 3.24 lakh crore, Bajaj Housing Finance'share price was listed at a bumper 114 per cent premium. On the NSE and BSE, Bajaj Housing Finance's share price opened at 150 apiece, delivering multibagger returns to its lucky share allottees. However, the newly listed Bajaj Group share continued to attract fresh buying and touched a new peak of 165 apiece on the NSE, extending the listing gain of the share allottees. After the stellar debut, some experts believe that the housing finance stock may extend its rally further and advised share allottees to hold the scrip for the long term.

Bajaj Housing Finance share price outlook

On the suggestion to Bajaj Housing Finance shareholders after a dream debut on Dalal Street, Arun Kejriwal, Founder at Kejwiral Research and Investment Services, said, "Those who want to hold the stock despite multibagger returns in one week are advised to hold the scrip maintaining stop loss below the weighted average of the stock, which is currently at 155. If the stock sustains above this weighted average post-listing, we may expect further upside in the scrip."

Dubbing Bajaj Housing Finance shares as one of the portfolio stocks, Astha Jain, Senior Research Analyst at HEM Securities, said, "In the NBGC segment, Bajaj Group shares have delivered stellar returns to investors, and this could be one of the possible reasons for stock trading beyond its actual valuations. However, my suggestion to the long-term shareholders is to book 50 per cent profit, fish out one's principal from the stock and hold the scrip for the long term. If the stock plunges from current levels, they can reenter with the money received after the profit booking."

Can this stock become the next IREDA?

On whether Bajaj Housing Finance share price has the potential to emerge next IREDA post-listing, Arun Kejriwal said, "Much will depend upon the kind of response this new Bajaj Group stock receives in the next few sessions. Suppose the stock continues to trade above its weighted average and closes above 155 today. In that case, tomorrow's opening will be crucial and fresh buying may trigger if it manages to sustain above 155. So, continued uptrends for the next few sessions may help this Bajaj Group stock qualify for the debate around IREDA. However, if it falls below 155, then in that case, we may expect sharp selling, and the stock also can become the next Tata Technologies share of Dalal Street."

Bajaj Housing Finance IPO has stood out, attracting unprecedented interest and becoming the most subscribed IPO in Indian history, with total bids exceeding 3.24 lakh crore. This surge in demand seems well-founded, as Bajaj is a well-known household name with a nearly 100-year legacy. Its robust business performance and the trust investors have in the Bajaj Group have contributed to the overwhelming success of its 6,560 crore IPO. Before this, the last IPO to see such remarkable demand was the Coal India IPO in 2008, which garnered 2.36 lakh crore in bids. Bajaj has now broken that record. In 2024, Premier Energies also drew significant attention, with bids approaching 1.5 lakh crore.

IREDA share price history

The initial public offering (IPO) of IREDA was launched at price band of 30 to 32 per equity share in November 2023. The PSU stock is listed at 50 apiece on the BSE and NSE, and it delivers around 56 per cent. However, the bull trend in IREDA shares continued and it scaled to a new peak of 310 apiece on the NSE.

IREDA share price today available at around 230 per share, which is more than 600 per cent from its upper price band of 32 apiece.
