BSE shares zoom over 5% on robust 62% profit growth in Q2FY26

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) share price jumped over 5% on Wednesday morning after the company reported robust earnings growth in the quarter ended September 2025. The shares traded 5.5% higher at ₹2,803 apiece on the NSE.

The capital market industry has witnessed dynamic growth in recent years owing to rising participation in the derivatives market. The recent curbs and hike in charges for derivatives have shrunk the turnover in the derivatives market, which is expected to impact earnings for all capital markets intermediaries.

Despite the changes, BSE Ltd reported robust earnings growth in Q2FY26. The total revenue for the quarter jumped 44.3% YoY to ₹1,068 crore as compared to ₹740 crore. The growth can be attributed to a 56% YoY jump in transaction charges at ₹794 crore.

At the operational level, the company’s EBITDA jumped 78% YoY to ₹691 crore with an EBITDA margin of 64% vs ₹388 crore EBITDA and 52.4% EBITDA margins in the same period last year.

At the bottom-line level, the company’s net profit also jumped 62% YoY to ₹557 crore, as against ₹344 crore.

Earlier, the exchange said that it is planning to introduce a pre-open trading session for index & stock futures in the equity derivatives segment from December 8, 2025, onwards. The message structures and field definitions that support pre-open session trading in the equity segment will be applicable for such sessions in the equity derivatives category.

In 2025, the shares have delivered impressive returns of nearly 58% on a YTD basis, while shares are up nearly 80% over the period of last year.

The investors cheered the Q2 results despite weakness in the turnover for the H1FY26. In H1FY26, the average daily turnover stood at ₹7,583 crore as compared to ₹9,396 crore in the same period last year. Additionally, the equity derivatives segment showed improved ₹1.6 lakh crore for Q2FY26 as compared to ₹128 lakh crore in the same period last year. Similarly, the revenue from the equity derivatives segment also jumped from ₹345 crore in Q2FY25 to ₹624 crore in Q2FY26
