BSE Share Price Surges As Q4 Profit Grows Nearly Fivefold

Share price of BSE Ltd. advanced over 9% in Wednesday's trading session after the company reported robust financial results for the quarter ended March.

India's oldest bourse's net profit jumped nearly five times to Rs 494 crore in the quarter ending Mar 31, 2025, thereby beating analysts' estimates.

The stock exchange posted a net profit of Rs 107 crore in the same quarter last year.

There was a sharp increase in revenue from operations, which rose 75% year-on-year to Rs 856.6 crore. This growth was largely due to higher transaction charges, meaning the exchange earned more from trades carried out on its platform.

BSE also announced a dividend of Rs 23 per equity share. This includes a final dividend of Rs 18 per share and a special dividend of Rs 5 per share. The special dividend has been declared to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the exchange.
