When considering if CDSL is a good buy, investors should weigh its strengths, such as its dominant market position and strong historical growth, against potential risks. Strengths include being India's largest depository by active demat accounts (over 15.29 crore as of March 31, 2025). However, risks include the recent decline in quarterly profit for Q4 FY25, a high P/E ratio which might suggest overvaluation, and decreased holdings by FIIs and Mutual Funds in the March 2025 quarter. Analyst recommendations are currently mixed: 30% suggest 'Buy,' 50% recommend 'Hold,' and 20% advise 'Sell,' with an average target price of ₹1264.60 (as of June 16, 2025), indicating a potential downside from the current price. Investors should conduct their own due diligence considering these factors.
On June 16, 2025, CDSL's (Central Depository Services (India) Ltd.) share price closed at ₹1682.6, up 1.38% from its previous close of ₹1659.70. So, it actually rose on the last trading day. However, the stock did see a -7.5% price dip in the seven days leading up to June 16, 2025, which might be the reason for your question.
Recent pressure could be linked to its Q4 FY25 results (quarter ending March 31, 2025), where Profit After Tax (PAT) was ₹100.31 crore (a 22.4% year-on-year decline) on revenue of ₹224 crore. For the full fiscal year FY25 (ending March 31, 2025), total revenue was ₹1,199 crore and PAT was ₹526 crore. Key metrics include a P/E (TTM as of June 16, 2025) of 65.86 and ROE (reported on Indmoney as of June 16, 2025) of 34.18%. Analyst ratings (10 analysts) are: 30% Buy, 50% Hold, and 20% Sell, with an average target price of ₹1264.60. The quarterly profit decline is a risk, while its market position offers strength.
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. (CDSL) is not a government-owned company. It is a publicly traded company, listed on the stock exchange, and is professionally managed. CDSL was promoted by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Ltd. in February 1999, with other financial institutions like State Bank of India (SBI) and HDFC Bank also having been involved as promoters or major shareholders. It is authorized by the Government of India and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to provide depository services.
As of the quarter ending March 2025, the promoter holding in CDSL stood at 15%. The majority of its shares are held by retail investors (58.25% as of March 2025), foreign institutions (11.32% as of March 2025), mutual funds (7.18% as of March 2025), and other entities. This diverse shareholding pattern confirms its status as a public company rather than a government-controlled entity.
On the last trading day, June 16, 2025, CDSL's share price closed at ₹1682.60, a change of +1.38% from the previous close of ₹1659.70. The stock has demonstrated strong positive momentum recently, with a 1-month return of +17.81% as of June 16, 2025. This rise has been attributed to improved market sentiment and a significant recovery of over 40% from its March 2025 lows. News from early June 2025 indicated that investors remained optimistic about CDSL's strategic market role and strong growth in demat accounts, despite a weaker Q4 FY25 performance.
For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (FY25), CDSL reported a Total Revenue of ₹1081 crore, a 33.1% year-on-year increase, and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹526 crore, up 25.2% year-on-year.

Analyst ratings compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence (as of June 16, 2025) show that 50% recommend 'Buy,' 30% 'Hold,' and 20% 'Sell,' with an average target price of ₹1264.60. While FY25 showed strong annual growth and market leadership, the reported net profit for Q4 FY25 (ending March 31, 2025) declined by 22.4% year-on-year to ₹100.31 crore, a factor investors should consider.
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) is considered almost debt-free. As of March 31, 2025, the company reported minimal borrowings of ₹3 crore. This translates to an extremely low debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 0.0017 (or 0.17%) for the fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25). The company's strong financial health is further indicated by its performance in FY25, where it recorded a total revenue from operations of ₹1,082 crore and a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹526 crore.
On June 16, 2025, CDSL's share price closed at ₹1682.6, an increase of 1.38% from the previous close of ₹1659.70. The company maintained a healthy Return on Equity (ROE) of 32.6% for FY25. Its Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio stood at 66.8 (TTM as of June 16, 2025). This minimal debt level indicates a strong financial position and lower risk associated with debt financing.
