Bajaj Finance an amazing stock: Deepak Shenoy 

Deepak Shenoy, Founder of Capitalmind, is of the view that the only thing that is going to stop Bajaj Finance shares is an overall drop in credit growth. "Credit growth is really good. We have not invested largely because the valuation scares us, but in general, if they continue to have earnings growth at these kinds of levels, of 25-30 percent plus, it might still be a reasonable candidate for a 5-8 year period even though the initial current volatility might take it down in the short term," he tells CNBC-TV18.

"It's still much below its all-time high made earlier this year, so it's not showing any signs of momentum but it's a good stock to own. We have just probably missed the bus. We will probably get back in it at another point, but it definitely does look attractive," he adds.
