Morgan Stanley Initiates Overweight Rating on NSE Amid Q2 Profit Growth
Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) with an overweight rating and a target price of Rs 2,315, highlighting NSE's dominant market share and growth potential amid India's underpenetrated capital markets. NSE reported a 23% year-on-year rise in Q2 FY27 net profit to Rs 2,578 crore, driven by higher trading volumes. Brokerages like Jefferies and Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities remain bullish, citing NSE's strong liquidity, technology-led model, and expanding participation despite regulatory risks and market-share challenges.
