Is CDSL share a good to buy?

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. (CDSL) presents a mixed outlook for potential investors, balancing strong long-term growth with recent headwinds. The company has demonstrated impressive historical performance, with a 1-year return of 47.17% and a 5-year return of 1198.78% as of July 1, 2025. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, CDSL reported a robust Total Revenue of ₹812 crore and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹420 crore, supported by a strong Return on Equity (ROE) of 34.18% for the same period. The stock was trading at ₹1797.5 on July 1, 2025, a marginal increase from the previous close of ₹1794.0.

However, investors should consider certain risks. For the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2025, the company's net profit saw a year-on-year decline of 22.4%, amounting to ₹100.39 crore. The stock's valuation is also a point of caution, with a high Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 71.19 and a Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio of 15.42 as of July 1, 2025. Analyst recommendations reflect this cautious sentiment; based on 10 analysts, 50% recommend a 'Hold,' while only 30% suggest a 'Buy.' The average analyst target price is ₹1264.60, indicating a potential downside from the current price.

Why is CDSL share falling?

On the last trading day, July 1, 2025, CDSL's share price closed at ₹1797.5, a slight increase of 0.2% from the previous close of ₹1794.0. However, the perception of the stock falling likely stems from its recent quarterly performance. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the company's Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹100.31 crore, a significant decline of 22.4% compared to the same period in the previous year. This drop in quarterly profit is a key factor that could be concerning for investors and has likely contributed to negative sentiment or price drops prior to the last trading day.

Despite the weak quarter, the company's full-year performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, remains robust, with a total revenue of ₹812 crore and a PAT of ₹420 crore, delivering a strong Return on Equity (ROE) of 34.18%. However, the stock's valuation is high, with a P/E (TTM) ratio of 71.19 as of July 1, 2025. Analyst ratings are mixed, with 50% of 10 analysts recommending a 'Hold'. The average target price is ₹1264.60, which suggests a potential downside from the current price, highlighting valuation as a primary risk for investors to consider.

Is CDSL owned by government?

No, Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. (CDSL) is not a government-owned company. It is a publicly listed company with a diversified shareholding structure. As of the quarter ending March 2025, the promoters' holding in the company was 15.00%. The promoters of CDSL are primarily institutional investors, not the government.

The majority of CDSL's shares are held by the public, which includes retail investors, foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and domestic institutional investors (DIIs). According to the shareholding pattern for March 2025, retail and other investors hold the largest stake with 58.40%. Foreign Institutions hold 11.32%, Other Domestic Institutions have an 8.10% stake, and Mutual Funds hold 7.18% of the company. This indicates a broad-based ownership rather than government control.

Why CDSL share is rising?

On the last trading day, July 1, 2025, CDSL's share price closed at ₹1797.5. The perception of the stock rising is largely due to its strong recent performance. As of July 1, 2025, the stock delivered a 6.6% return over the last month and a significant 49.77% return over the last three months. This upward trend is supported by positive news flow and the company's commanding market position, holding approximately 79% of India's demat accounts as of March 31, 2025, which fosters strong investor confidence.

However, investors should consider the associated risks. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the company's net profit saw a year-on-year decline of 22.4%, settling at ₹100.31 crore. The stock also trades at a high valuation, with a Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 71.19 as of July 1, 2025. Analyst ratings are mixed, with 50% recommending 'Hold' and 20% 'Sell' out of 10 analysts, with a consensus target price of ₹1264.60, indicating potential downside from its current level.

Is CDSL debt free?

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. (CDSL) is considered effectively debt-free. According to its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the company has maintained a zero-debt position for the last five years. This indicates a strong balance sheet and low financial risk, as it does not carry significant interest-bearing obligations, which is a key strength for the company.

This debt-free status is supported by strong operational performance. For the fiscal year 2025, CDSL reported a Total Revenue of ₹1,081 crore and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹526 crore. The company's Return on Equity (ROE) for the same period was 32.6%. The ability to fund growth and operations through internal profits without relying on external borrowings highlights its financial stability and efficient management, which is a positive sign for investors.
