Shares of Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) experienced a notable increase, rising over 9% in just one week and reaching a record high of ₹3,315.90 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). This surge is attributed to the company's impressive financial performance in the fourth quarter of FY26, where net profit soared 291% to ₹530 crore, and revenue from operations jumped over 205% to ₹889 crore. The positive investor sentiment was further bolstered by rising prices of gold and silver, following a government decision to increase import duties on these metals to 15%. Despite the strong performance, analysts from Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintain a 'Neutral' rating on MCX shares, setting a target price of ₹2,850, indicating a potential downside of over 11% from the previous closing price. They anticipate a normalization of trading volumes in FY27, with a forecasted 10% decline in futures volumes, while options volumes are expected to grow significantly.
