Sandip Sabharwal, asksandipsabharwal.com, says the price at which Bajaj Housing Finance is trading is crazy and there is no way one can justify these valuations when large, established, diversified financials are trading at half, one-third, or maybe 25% of the valuation of this company. Like with many other IPOs, this is just frenzied trading in a limited-float stock. Sabharwal says there’s a similar frenzy in Ola Electric, which is losing market share every month, it is giving forecasts based on them either maintaining or improving market share, which is not going to happen.

It is not a unique space, it is not like some new technology company or some different businesses that have listed which you cannot value. This company can be easily valued. The price at which it is trading is crazy and there is no way one can justify these valuations when large, established, diversified financials are trading at half, one-third or maybe 25% of the valuation of this company.
