CDSL Share Price Rallies Over 9%; Highest Single Day Up Move in Almost a Year

Shares of Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) witnessed a significant surge on June 2, 2025, touching an intraday high of ₹1,680 on the National Stock Exchange. This marked the stock’s strongest single-day performance in almost a year. The sharp rise aligned with a broader rally in financial market infrastructure companies such as BSE, Kfin Technologies and MCX, reflecting growing investor interest in this segment.

Sharp Rise in Share Price of CDSL

By mid-afternoon trading, the CDSL share price had gained over 9%. This was the highest one day up move recorded in nearly 12 months. Over the past 3 months, the stock has jumped 50.74%, and in the past month alone, it has risen by 26%, signalling strong momentum.

Financial Results Show a Dip in Profitability

For the January to March quarter, CDSL posted a consolidated net profit of ₹100 crore, which was 22% lower than the ₹129 crore reported in the same period last year. Revenue from operations declined by 4%, reaching ₹224 crore as compared to ₹241 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Operating Performance Under Pressure

The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell 26% to ₹109 crore. The EBITDA margin also contracted by 12.6%, falling to 49%. This indicates increased operational stress during the fourth quarter.

Conclusion

While the financial performance for the March quarter showed signs of pressure, the stock’s price performance has been strong. The recent rally appears to be driven by overall sector optimism and renewed investor interest in financial market infrastructure providers like CDSL, BSE, and Kfin Technologies.
