On Friday, the exchange's stock closed 17% higher at Rs 5,479.80 apiece after the National Stock Exchange deferred the implementation of its Monday expires.

"This may abate concerns around BSE's potential loss of market share and impact on earnings per share — we estimated ~12%," analysts at Jefferies had said in a note following the development. "Clarity on open interest limits is awaited but impact of that is lower for BSE. The stock has retraced majority of its fall, but lower regulatory risks & better markets can aid re-rating," the note added while maintaining a 'hold' rating on the stock.
Since its listing, BSE has issued dividends 22 times and bonus shares two times.
