    NSE's Q4 and annual earnings performance

    Despite the F&O action, the exchange reported robust annual performance. NSE posted a 47% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, reaching Rs.12,188 crore in FY25. However, Q4FY25 profit fell 31% sequentially to Rs.2,650 crore due to lower transaction volumes.

    Consolidated total income for FY25 grew 17% to Rs.19,177 crore, while consolidated operating EBITDA rose 28% to Rs.12,647 crore. On a standalone basis, net profit surged 69% to Rs.11,246 crore, and total income climbed 33% to Rs.19,823 crore.

    Quarterly figures were weaker, with transaction charge revenue declining 15% QoQ to Rs.2,939 crore. Q4 EBITDA dropped 18% to Rs.2,799 crore, and earnings per share fell to Rs.10.71 from Rs.15.49 in Q3FY25.

    Market reaction to F&O exclusion

    The announcement may influence near-term sentiment in the affected stocks. Traders in derivative markets may unwind existing positions as the expiry date approaches.

    ABFRL share price, Adani Total Gas share price, and CESC share price may see pressure as investors react to the exclusion. Similarly, Granules India share price, IRB Infrastructure Developers share price, and Jindal Stainless share price could witness volatility. Poonawalla Fincorp share price and SJVN share price may also come under focus in the run-up to August 29.

    Regulatory context behind exclusions

    The exclusion aligns with SEBI’s norms for continued eligibility of stocks in the derivatives segment. These include requirements related to average daily market capitalisation, trading volumes, and open interest. The move ensures market discipline and reduces systemic risk in derivatives trading.
