BSE 'The Challenger': Macquarie Initiates Coverage With 'Outperform' Ahead Of NSE's Listing — Here's Why

NSE is in focus.

24 Sept 2026 · NDTV Profit, ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets

The brokerage has set a target price of Rs 4,000 for the exchange, implying an over 22% upside to its current market price.

NSE reported Rs 4,000, with movement of 22% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • With NSE, BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
  • The immediate tone of coverage reads positive.
