Why did IEX share price fall today?

Media reports pointed to a possible CERC move to a lower, fixed transaction fee for exchanges, around 1.5 paise/kWh per side and about 1.25 paise for TAM. A reduced fee can compress revenue per unit and pressure margins. This, alongside 2026 market coupling, raised near-term earnings uncertainty and led to a quick price reaction.

What is the proposed CERC fee revision and how could it impact IEX?

Reports suggest a fixed transaction fee near 1.5 paise/kWh per side, and about 1.25 paise for term-ahead products. A mandated cut would lower IEX’s revenue per traded unit. Even if volumes hold up, earnings yield may compress, which can affect valuation multiples and investor sentiment until there is clarity on final rules and timing.

Is IEX a buy after today’s drop?

It depends on your risk profile. Valuation is around 26x TTM EPS, with strong margins and low debt, but near-term earnings risk from fee cuts is real. Traders can track ₹136.6–₹148.7. Long-term investors may prefer to wait for CERC’s final order and evidence that volumes and spreads remain resilient before adding.

What trading levels should I watch for IEX stock today?

Support is near ₹136.6, the Bollinger lower band. Resistance sits around ₹148.7, the upper band. The 50-DMA at ₹141.2 is a pivot for near-term bias, while the 200-DMA at ₹163.6 marks a longer-term hurdle. A sustained move above the 50-DMA could ease pressure on IEX share price.
