The country's oldest stock exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Thursday presented excellent results for the March quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q4FY26). These results have surprised both market experts and shareholders. The company has not only registered a huge increase in its profits, but has also declared a huge dividend for its investors.
In the fourth quarter, the Consolidated Net Profit (PAT) of BSE has reached the level of Rs 797 crore, with a huge jump of 61 percent. If we compare it with the same quarter of the last financial year, at that time this figure was only Rs 494 crore.
If we look at the performance of the last quarter (Q3FY26), there too the picture of development is clearly visible. The company's net profit in the October-December quarter was Rs 602 crore. In this context, even on a quarter-to-quarter (QoQ) basis, a strong growth of 32 percent has been recorded in profits.
Earnings records broken, bumper increase in revenue
Along with profits, the total revenue of the exchange has also achieved a new milestone. BSE's revenue has increased by 85 percent to Rs 1,564 crore in the March quarter. In the same period a year ago, this figure was Rs 847 crore. At the same time, an increase of 26 percent has been seen in comparison to Rs 1,244 crore of the previous quarter.
The biggest reason for this huge increase in income is the income from transaction charges. The company has earned Rs 1,311 crore from this item, which is 114 percent more than Rs 953 crore in the same period last year. This income has also increased by 38 percent compared to the previous quarter (Rs 612 crore). It is clear that the exchange is getting direct economic benefits from the increasing trading activity in the stock market.
When will the dividend money come to the account?
The real celebration of excellent quarterly results happens when its direct benefits reach the pockets of investors. The Board of Directors of BSE has not disappointed its shareholders and has declared a final dividend of Rs 10 per equity share.
It is very important for shareholders to know that the record date for this dividend has been fixed as Friday, July 10, 2026. This simply means that only those investors who have BSE shares in their demat account till this stipulated date will be considered entitled for this dividend. The management has also made it clear that this amount will be deposited in the bank accounts of eligible investors on or before September 17.
