Aditya Birla Capital shares: about Rs 383.85 on 14 Oct 2026 (delayed quote). Jefferies India sees about 25% upside (headline), which is about Rs 480 on my calculation. Consensus target Rs 468.79 across 14 analysts. Q1 FY27 profit Rs 1,175 crore (+40%). Lending book Rs 2.19 trillion (+32%).
Quick Answer
Jefferies India sees about 25% upside in Aditya Birla Capital shares, according to the headline, which would put its target price near Rs 480 if measured from the Rs 383.85 quote on 14 October 2026 (my calculation). I could not find the Jefferies report, so its exact target and reference price are unverified, while the consensus target of Rs 468.79 from 14 analysts implies about 22% upside. The company reported Q1 FY27 net profit of Rs 1,175 crore, up 40%, with the lending book up 32% to Rs 2.19 trillion, and it raised Rs 4,000 crore from promoters and the IFC. Risks include a health insurance combined ratio above 100% and slower asset management growth.
Aditya Birla Capital shares are in focus after Jefferies India gave a bullish view. The company is a financial services group with lending, asset management, life insurance, health insurance and housing finance arms, so Aditya Birla Capital shares reflect several businesses at once.
This guide explains the Jefferies call, the Q1 FY27 numbers by business, the fund raise, what other analysts expect and the risks. Where I calculate a figure myself, I label it.
A 25% upside figure is only useful if you know the target and the date. I could not verify either, so the tables below rely on the company’s own results and market data.

Aditya Birla Capital Shares: Price, Target and Upside
| Item | Figure | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Quote on 14 Oct 2026 | Rs 383.85 | Delayed quote |
| Jefferies upside | About 25% | Per the headline |
| Implied Jefferies target price | About Rs 480 | My calculation; unverified |
| Consensus target price | Rs 468.79 | Average of 14 analysts |
| Upside to consensus | About 22.1% | My calculation |
If the Jefferies target is near Rs 480, it sits slightly above the consensus of Rs 468.79, and Aditya Birla Capital shares would need to rise about 25% to reach it. The stock has risen far from the levels of early 2024, when Jefferies had a target of Rs 200, so that old figure is not relevant now.
Risk: A broker target is a view and can change after results. Aditya Birla Capital shares can fall even when the upside looks large.

Aditya Birla Capital Q1 FY27 Results by Business
| Business | Key Q1 FY27 numbers |
|---|---|
| Group | Net profit Rs 1,175 crore, up 40% year on year |
| Lending book (NBFC and housing) | Rs 2.19 trillion, up 32% |
| Aditya Birla Finance | AUM Rs 1.67 trillion (+28%); profit before tax Rs 1,222 crore (+32%); gross stage-3 ratio 1.30% |

| Life insurance | Individual first-year premium Rs 952 crore (+20%); value of new business margin 15.1% |
| Health insurance | Gross written premium Rs 2,196 crore (+50%); combined ratio 106% |
Total assets under management across asset management, life insurance and health insurance were Rs 7.53 trillion, up 36%. The lending book is the main driver, since the NBFC grew disbursements by 34% and the housing arm by 39%. Together these numbers explain why analysts like Aditya Birla Capital shares.
Data note: The Q1 numbers are for the June quarter. Q2 FY27 results are not in my sources, so check the company’s results date.
Rs 4,000 Crore Fund Raise and What It Means
| Investor | Amount (Rs crore) | Share of raise |
|---|---|---|
| Grasim Industries (promoter) | 2,880 | 72% (my calculation) |
| Suryaja Investment (promoter group) | 200 | 5% |
| International Finance Corporation | 920 | 23% |
| Total preferential allotment | 4,000 | 100% |
The company said 87.5% of the proceeds, about Rs 3,500 crore (my calculation), will fund NBFC growth. Fresh capital supports faster lending, though a preferential allotment also adds shares and can dilute value per share for holders of Aditya Birla Capital shares.

Should You Buy Aditya Birla Capital Shares? Risks and Strengths
| Strengths | Risks |
|---|---|
| Profit up 40% and lending book up 32% | Health insurance combined ratio of 106% means underwriting losses |

| Rs 4,000 crore of fresh capital | New shares dilute existing holders |
| Value of new business margin up to 15.1% | Market swings hit AMC and insurance income |
Risk: A rising lending book needs good credit quality. A rise in bad loans would hurt profit and Aditya Birla Capital shares.
