we raise our FY27-FY29E EPS by upto +10%. Our 12-m TP rises to Rs4,650 (Rs4,300

prior).

Bajaj Auto reported an in-line 1Q27. Revenue/ EBITDA were -4% /-1% vs GSe. In a

difficult RM cost quarter, Bajaj cut discretionary SG&A expenses to maintain margin.

Going forward, management indicated that it is working towards more Pulsar
