The decline occurred because the reported Q2 FY27 net profit of ₹455 crore missed Motilal Oswal’s estimates by 14%. The shortfall was attributed to higher operating expenses, including a ₹24.8 crore contribution to the Settlement Guarantee Fund and a significant tax expense of ₹470 million from MCXCCL, which pressured net margins despite revenue doubling.
Analysts note that MCX trades at a P/E multiple of around 54, which is nearly double the sector average. This rich valuation, combined with the stock having more than doubled from its 52-week low of ₹1,762, has led experts to suggest that much of the fundamental performance is already reflected in the price, prompting profit-booking.
As of November 6, 2026, MCX closed at ₹3,528 with immediate technical support near ₹3,523 and ₹3,459. The stock has gained +90.7% over the past year and +60.5% year-to-date. Technical indicators show a bullish daily supertrend direction, though annualized volatility remains high at +40.0%.
