BSE shares gain attention after Q3 profit surges 174%, revenue rises 62% year on year

Shares of BSE were in focus on Tuesday after the exchange posted a sharp jump in earnings for the December quarter, helped by higher market activity and improved operating performance.

The company reported a 174 per cent rise in net profit for the third quarter compared with the same period last year. Revenue from operations increased 62 per cent year on year, reflecting stronger trading volumes, better realisation from transaction charges, and steady growth across key business segments.

Operating margins also improved during the quarter, supported by higher income and controlled costs. Market participants attributed the performance to increased participation in equity and derivatives trading, along with sustained momentum in new listings and data-related services.

For the nine months ended December, BSE recorded strong growth across revenue and profit, underlining the benefits of higher market turnover and a favourable environment for capital market activity.

Following the results, analysts said the numbers point to a firmer earnings base, though the stock’s near-term movement will depend on broader market trends and the sustainability of trading volumes.
