Kathmandu, 8 February 2026 — The Nepal share market today saw the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) slip, with the benchmark index dropping around 10 points to close at 2,698.
Even though prices fell, trading was active. About 26.2 million shares were traded through 112,000 transactions, generating Rs 11.65 billion in turnover. This shows that investors are still actively buying and selling, despite the market dip.
Out of the companies traded, 85 gained, 168 fell, and 7 stayed the same. Most sectors, including banking, finance, hotels & tourism, and hydropower, ended lower. Only the investment and other sectors recorded small gains.
According to market experts, the fall is primarily due to profit booking after recent gains, but higher trading volume suggests investors are reshuffling for the days to come.
