BSE Share Price Today: BSE Stock Price Surges Today

As of 10:40 AM on July 9, BSE Limited's share price stood at Rs 2,546, up from the previous closing price of Rs 2,477, reflecting a gain of Rs 69 or approximately 2.39%.

But the stock is now trading approximately 20% below its 52-week high of Rs 3,030 and has declined over 15.6% in the past month. Despite the recent correction, BSE has delivered strong long-term returns-gaining over 208% in the last year and a remarkable 4,300% over the past five years. The stock has a one-year trading range between Rs 704.99 and Rs 3,030 and remains debt-free.

BSE Stock Crash: What's Causing the Decline?

A key reason behind Tuesday's steep fall was the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) banning US-based trading firm Jane Street from trading in Indian markets. The firm has been accused of manipulating index derivatives, which created panic among investors and put pressure on exchange operators like BSE.

Additionally, a recent SEBI report revealed that 91% of retail investors incurred losses in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment in FY2025. This finding suggests widespread speculation and could prompt SEBI to impose stricter regulations in the segment. The potential for regulatory tightening has raised concerns, especially for institutions like BSE that play a key role in derivatives trading.

Should You Hold or Sell BSE Stock? Check Motilal Oswal's Recommendation

Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal also contributed to the negative sentiment by downgrading BSE's stock rating to "Neutral" and reducing its target price to Rs 2,300. This target was around 14% lower than the stock's recent trading levels, adding to investor caution.

From a technical perspective, BSE shares remain above their 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which is a positive indicator for long-term investors. However, the stock has fallen below its 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages, a trend that could concern short-term traders and indicate weakness in the near term.

BSE Annual Performance

BSE has shown impressive performance in its consolidated annual revenue and net profit. Revenue climbed from Rs 501.37 crore in March 2021 to Rs 3,212.04 crore in March 2025. Net profit also rose significantly, from Rs 98.55 crore to Rs 1,239.73 crore during the same period.

The company's earnings per share (EPS) increased from Rs 30.94 to Rs 96.55, while the book value per share (BVPS) improved to Rs 326.84. The return on equity (ROE) reached 29.97% in FY25, and the company has maintained a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.00 throughout this period.

Quarterly results reinforce this momentum. In the quarter ending March 2025, BSE reported revenue of Rs 916.97 crore and net profit of Rs 478.04 crore, with an EPS of Rs 36. This is a sharp improvement compared to the same quarter in the previous year, when it recorded Rs 544.77 crore in revenue and Rs 82.49 crore in net profit.

BSE Limited has also announced several shareholder-focused corporate actions. On May 7, 2025, the company declared a final dividend of Rs 18 per equity share and a special dividend of Rs 5. It also announced a bonus issue in a 2:1 ratio, with May 23, 2025, as the record date.

While the company reported a negative net cash flow of Rs 550 crore in March 2025 compared to a positive Rs 1,621 crore in March 2024, its strong earnings, debt-free balance sheet, and rewarding shareholder initiatives continue to bolster investor sentiment.
