NSE share price: Extending the uptrend during the early morning session on Friday, NSE shares crossed the psychological ₹2000 mark and hit a new peak of ₹2007.60 per share on the BSE. While hitting this new peak, the NSE shares crossed the ₹2000 mark for the first time after the IPO listing. By 11:50 AM, the NSE share price was trading around ₹1,988 per share, up over 21% from the 52-week low of ₹1,640.25 per share. This 52-week low was made after the selling pressure witnessed in the NSE shares after listing of the NSE IPO in September 2026.

According to stock market experts, NSE shares have been on an uptrend after hitting the 52-week low of ₹1640.25 per share. They said that NSE share price has crossed the psychological ₹2000 for the first time post-IPO listing. So, it would be important to see whether it closes above the net weighted average price of ₹1995, or below this level.

Calling NSE shares as a hedge against volatility, Avinash Gorakshkar, Founder of Avinash Mentor Research, said, “NSE is a market leader in cash equities, index F&O, stock F&O, and clearing & settlement. Around 60% of its operating revenue comes from the F&O derivative trading, which is almost unchallenged with BSE being the nearest rival with a long gap. So, NSE is expected to continue its uptrend as it reported a strong Q2 Results 2026. Its subsidiary NSE Clearing reported a total income of ₹1,152 crore (up 16% YoY) and a PAT of ₹597 crore in H1 FY27.”

Jefferies India is also bullish on NSE shares. The global investment bank expects a fast growth in the NSE's revenue. Jefferies India believes the NSE's operating revenue CAGR was 6% between FY24-26, as its equity F&O business was adversely impacted by regulatory changes and higher taxes. We think these are now largely in the base. Hence, expect growth to improve to 15% over FY27-29e, driven by (1) equity options market share stabilising at 65%, (2) cash equity turnover growing at 16% led by IPOs, promoter/PE sell-downs, and (3) tech infra revenues growing at 23% CAGR.

Calling NSE shares a ‘portfolio stock’, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, said, “NSE share price is a portfolio stock. So, there is no point booking profit, if someone is having this stock in portfolio. On breaking above ₹2,000, the NSE share price may soon touch ₹2,200 mark.”

Unveiling the investment strategy for fresh investors, Mahesh M Ojha, VP — Research and Business Development at KC Securities, said, “The net average weighted average price of NSE share price today is ₹1995. If the stock closes above ₹1995, then we can expect the bull trend to further continue. However, on closing below ₹1995, there can be some profit booking in the stock. One can maintain a strict stop-loss at ₹1970 and hold the scrip for long.”
