- On account of the significant jump in the profitability in HY17 for all three exchanges, annualized figures based on HY17 results have also been indicated.
- While NSE is a notch up than BSE, BSE can safely be assumed to better than MCX.
- MCX is present quoting at a PE multiple of 43.7 (annualized) and BSE at the IPO price will command a PE multiple of 20.12 (annualized). NSE at the assumed IPO price of 900 shall be at a PE multiple of 43.2. Thus BSE IPO is expected to leave something on the table for the investors.
- The P/BV ratio of BSE(1.72) is quite low compared to NSE & MCX(>5). This is on account of huge amount of reserves on books of BSE, being a much older exchange. This factor also justifies the pricing of BSE IPO.
- In terms of profit margins, NSE earns a net profit margin > 40% . In Fy16 this has stood at 20% for BSE, though some improvement has been seen in HY2017.
- While NSE out scores BSE on many counts, BSE IPO price provides comfort and appears reasonable.
