Future Investment Advice
Positives:
The strong profit growth and very high dividend payout from BSE signify good fundamentals and emphasis towards shareholders.
The stock has performed well, with 16% returns this year, 43% in six months, 121% for a year, and 4,800% for the last five years.
Adding to the investor attraction are also the recent 2:1 bonus issue and the special dividend.
Considerations:
The price of the stock fell slightly after the results were announced, maybe because some profit bookings happened or the expectations were already so enormously high that they were priced in.
The high growth might slow down over a stretch, given the normalization of the base effect.
Expert Opinion:
Being a market leader, with a constant rate of growth and shareholder-friendly measures, BSE continues to be favorable as a long-term buy.
Long-term investors may maintain or accumulate on dips if supported by the broader market.
