BSE historic profit surge sparks a sell off as valuation and derivatives risk spook investors

Why the stock fell even after its best quarter ever

BSE posted its best-ever performance in 150 years, with Q4 profit jumping 61% to ₹797 crore. Yet shares slid 3.3% to ₹3,832 after analysts pointed to a 57x valuation and rising concern around derivatives risk, especially in the weekly options segment. Investors appear to be booking gains despite the earnings beat, looking for regulatory clarity.
