BSE Limited Share Price Today

As of 11:09 AM on 26 May, shares of BSE Ltd. are trading at Rs 2,487.00, up Rs 39.00 or 1.59% for the day. The stock opened at Rs 2,480.00 and has so far touched a high of Rs 2,526.00 and a low of Rs 2,470.50 during the session. Over the past 52 weeks, BSE has recorded a high of Rs 7,588.00 and a low of Rs 2,115.00.

In terms of valuation, BSE has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 56.81, which is significantly higher than the sector average of 23.86. This suggests that investors are currently willing to pay a premium for BSE shares, possibly due to the company's strong financials or growth potential.

Apart from the recent ex-bonus price adjustment, BSE's stock has also come under selling pressure due to regulatory news. Reports suggest that SEBI is reviewing a proposal from NSE to shift the weekly expiry of index options to Tuesdays, a move that could impact BSE's growing share in the derivatives market.

Brokerage View on BSE Ltd Shares: Goldman Sachs Maintains 'Neutral'; Check Other Top Brokerages Ratings

Following this development, Goldman Sachs, a global brokerage firm, maintained its 'Neutral' rating on BSE and set a price target of Rs 5,340. The firm believes that if SEBI approves this change, BSE could lose about 3 to 4 percentage points of its market share in index options premiums. This would mean a potential 15% drop, bringing BSE's share down from 22.2% to around 18.8%, based on current year-to-date data.

Goldman Sachs also pointed out that 24% of index options premiums in India this year have been traded on Tuesdays, which is much higher than the 16-19% average seen on other weekdays. This highlights the importance of Tuesday as a high-activity trading day - a factor that could shift in favour of NSE if the weekly expiry day is changed.

In the most recent quarter, BSE reported a net profit of Rs 494.42 crore, indicating healthy profitability. This strong earnings figure is likely one of the reasons behind the stock's upward momentum.

Looking at who owns the company, as of 31st March 2025, mutual funds held 10.18% of BSE's shares. However, this is a slight decrease from the previous quarter, suggesting that some domestic institutional investors may have reduced their exposure. On the other hand, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) increased their stake to 16.78%, showing growing interest from global investors in the Indian financial services space.

Among its listed peers, HDFC Asset Management Company is trading up by 1.08%, while Motilal Oswal Financial Services is up 1.87% today.
