Experts Prefer NSE Shares Ahead of Exchange Q2 Results
The article compares shares of two Indian stock exchanges, NSE and BSE.
Experts quoted in it say both companies are financially strong.
They generally favor NSE because they say it earns more and has a bigger share of derivatives trading.
However, the article gives two different estimates for BSE's FY26 profit: ₹3,000 crore and ₹300 crore.
NSE shares were recently around ₹1,730, and one expert described ₹1,700 to ₹1,800 as an important range.
If the price rises above that range, the expert named higher possible targets; if it falls below, it could decline further.
For BSE, an expert identified ₹2,880 as an important support level.
These are expert opinions and price estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
Experts quoted in the article generally prefer NSE shares, citing greater profitability, scale and derivatives-market share.
The article gives conflicting figures for BSE FY26 profit: about ₹3,000 crore in one passage and about ₹300 crore in another.
NSE shares were reported near ₹1,730, within a cited ₹1,700–₹1,800 trading range.
Anuj Gupta said NSE could target ₹1,860 and ₹1,950 above ₹1,800, but warned of further downside below ₹1,700.
Mahesh M. Ojha advised BSE holders to maintain a stop-loss at ₹2,880 and said fresh investors should avoid BSE shares.
