BSE shares jump 6% to yearly high after strong Q3

Shares of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) climbed sharply on Tuesday, rising over 6% to hit a 52-week high, after the company posted strong results for the third quarter of 2025‑26. Investors reacted positively to BSE’s higher-than-expected earnings and optimistic outlook from brokers.

BSE reported a net profit of ₹602 crore, up around 174% from ₹220 crore in the same period last year. Revenue also grew about 62%, reaching ₹1,244 crore, helped by increased trading activity and more participation in different markets.

The growth came mainly from derivatives trading, mutual fund transactions, and new listings, which boosted transaction charges and overall revenue. Analysts said the results show BSE’s strong position in India’s capital markets and its ability to generate consistent income across business segments.

On the stock market, BSE shares traded at nearly ₹3,175 each, marking their highest level in a year. This rally reflected strong investor confidence in the exchange’s performance and growth prospects.

Brokerages also reacted positively. Nuvama raised its target price and recommended buying the stock, while Jefferies increased its target price and suggested holding it, citing BSE’s growing market share and earnings momentum.
