Robust Financial Growth in Q4 FY25
BSE Ltd reported a remarkable 354% year-on-year increase in net profit for the fourth quarter of FY25, reaching Rs 4911 crore compared to Rs 1080 crore in Q4 FY24. This performance reflects strong market activity and improved operational efficiencies, particularly amid recent market trends favoring bank rally and auto stocks.
Total income for the fourth quarter stood at Rs 9263 crore, a substantial jump from Rs 5432 crore in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year, total income rose to Rs 13,273 crore from Rs 7748 crore in FY24, underlining consistent revenue momentum.
Operational Highlights and Market Impact
Earnings per share (EPS) surged to Rs 35.96 in Q4 FY25, up from Rs 7.74 in the corresponding quarter of FY24. Meanwhile, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) stood at Rs 6434 crore for the quarter, marking a nearly fivefold increase from Rs 1286 crore in Q4 FY24.
These strong figures reflect BSE’s effective strategy in navigating evolving market dynamics. The consistent upward movement in EPS and EBIT positions the company favorably for future growth, especially as investor interest in Nifty and key sector indices remains high.
