Dolat Capital Issues 'Sell' Rating on NSE Ahead of IPO Citing Regulatory Concerns
Dolat Capital has initiated coverage on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE) with a 'sell' rating and a target price of Rs 1,550, indicating a 26% downside from its current unlisted market price of Rs 2,085. The brokerage cites tighter regulations on equity derivatives, declining proprietary trading volumes, and potential market share losses as factors limiting NSE's growth and profit prospects. While acknowledging NSE's long-term structural growth, Dolat Capital views current valuations as high compared to global peers and not reflective of regulatory challenges ahead of NSE's planned IPO.
