MUMBAI – Traders added bullish bets to the derivatives chain of Bajaj Finance ahead of the company's earnings Monday. The non-banking finance company is widely expected to post strong year-on-year growth in its bottom line as well as top line for the September quarter. Premiums on out-of-the-money call options increased while those on put contracts declined, indicating the near-term possibility of an upside in the stock.

The company is expected to post 25% on-year rise in consolidated net profit to INR 50.09 billion and its net interest income is likely to rise 30% to INR 115.20 billion, according to the average of estimates from nine broking firms. Sequentially, this would mean a rise of nearly 7% in the bottom line and 13% in net interest income. Tuesday, the company had reported a 24% rise in its assets under management to INR 4.62 trillion as of Sept. 30. "We expect cost-to-average AUM ratio to improve yoy (year-on-year) at 3.8%," Kotak Institutional Equities said in its pre-earnings report. 

Shares of the company closed over 2% higher Friday at INR 1,066.60 on the National Stock Exchange. The near-term resistance for the stock is seen at INR 1,150-INR 1,200 and support at INR 1,000-INR 910, a technical and derivatives analyst at a domestic broking firm said. 

The highest addition of open interest was at INR 1,150 call and INR 1,070 put contracts expiring this month. The maximum concentration of open interest was at the INR 1,100 call and INR 1,050 put contracts. However, traders exited some long positions from the November futures contract. This futures series closed 2.6% higher at INR 1,073.70 and open interest fell 0.3% to 85.08 million.
