Ambit has initiated a buy rating on BSE Limited, setting a target price of ₹7,000 per share, implying a 28.49% upside from its current market price of ₹5,448.85. The brokerage highlights multiple growth drivers and a strong turnaround opportunity for the stock, despite regulatory challenges.

Key takeaways from Ambit’s report:

  1. Growth beyond penetration:
    • Premium growth for BSE is expected to be driven by factors beyond market penetration, including a shift towards a more fragmented market.
  2. Regulatory challenges:
    • Regulatory headwinds have impacted the penetration story, but BSE’s turnaround potential could offset these near-term challenges.
  3. Margin expansion potential:
    • Despite increased spending on technology, BSE has significant room to expand margins, which could further improve profitability.
  4. BSE StAR platform:
    • The StAR platform is viewed as a “cash cow in the making,” expected to contribute consistently to revenue growth.

Ambit remains optimistic about BSE’s ability to leverage its strengths and deliver long-term growth, making it a strong investment opportunity.
