By Shishta Dutta | Published at: Jun 18, 2025 12:45 PM IST
Mumbai, June 18 (09:43 IST) — Shares of BSE Limited (BSE: 538397) were trading lower by 1.58% at ₹2,622.30 on Wednesday morning, continuing their downward trajectory into the sixth trading session following regulatory surveillance and valuation pressures. The slip can be attributed to the upcoming shift in derivatives expiry, categorising it as a short-term overhang.
The scrip remains under SEBI’s Long-Term Additional Surveillance Measure (LT ASM Stage 1) due to a sustained high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, exceeding 50 across the past four quarters.

Regulatory Pressure: ASM Tag Weighs on Sentiment
The stock remains under SEBI’s LT ASM Stage 1. The LT ASM-1 | Scrip P/E is greater than 50 for previous four trailing quarters. As per SEBI guidelines, securities under ASM Stage 1 attract tighter margin norms and trading restrictions. The tag serves as a cautionary flag to investors and has likely triggered reduced leverage-based activity, leading to selling pressure in recent sessions.
| Surveillance Measure | Trigger Condition | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| LT ASM Stage 1 | P/E > 50 for last 4 quarters | Margin tightening, no intraday leverage |
