Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price Today fell to Rs 1730.05, down 9.05%. The small-cap textile stock has a market capitalisation of Rs 1089.01 crore.
Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price came under sharp pressure on 10 August 2026, with the stock falling to Rs 1730.05 from the previous close of Rs 1902.2, a decline of Rs 172.15 or 9.05%. With a market capitalisation of Rs 1089.01 crore, Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. sits in the Small Cap category, and today’s move was large enough to place it among the notable top decliner candidates in Stock Market Today screens.
The session data shows that the stock opened at Rs 1870 and also marked its day’s high at Rs 1870 before sliding to a day low of Rs 1730.05. That pattern matters because it indicates that the pressure emerged after the open rather than from a gap-down extension alone. Turnover stood at Rs 0.11 crore, while total traded volume across exchanges reached 7,265 shares, including 6,657 shares on NSE and 608 shares on BSE.
For investors tracking Ambika Cotton Mills Stock News, the verified data confirms a clear same-day price fall, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst for why the stock is falling today. What the numbers do show is price weakness, modest turnover and a meaningful repricing in early trade. In this Univest stock analysis, the next questions are whether valuation still provides context, how the company compares with textile-spinning peers, and what sector benchmarks suggest after this Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price fall.

Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. (AMBIKCO) Fundamental Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 1,089.01 crore |
| P/E Ratio | 13.39x |
| P/B Ratio | 1.11x |
| ROE | 12.69% |
| ROCE | 17.06% |
| EPS | Rs 142.08 |
| Dividend Yield | 1.95% |
Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. was valued at a P/E ratio of 13.39x, a P/B ratio of 1.11x. These multiples provide valuation context, but they should not be labelled expensive or inexpensive without a comparable peer or sector benchmark.
Profitability and capital efficiency were represented by ROE of 12.69% and ROCE of 17.06%. ROE relates profit to shareholder equity, while ROCE measures returns generated on the capital employed in the business.
Per-share and shareholder-return metrics included EPS of Rs 142.08, dividend yield of 1.95%. Dividend yield is a current or historical ratio and does not guarantee future distributions.
Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price may be under pressure today, but the supplied fundamental data gives investors a broader framework. At a market capitalisation of Rs 1089.01 crore, the company sits near the upper end of many listed textile-spinning names in its industry snapshot, which makes valuation and profitability ratios especially relevant.
The stock is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.39 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.11. On earnings power, the supplied EPS stands at 142.08, which means the current stock price is being valued at 13.39 times trailing earnings based on the given figures. On balance-sheet valuation, a P/B of 1.11 indicates the market is valuing the company only modestly above its accounting net worth relative to book value measures typically tracked in textile names.
Profitability ratios are also meaningful. Return on equity is 12.69%, while return on capital employed is 17.06%. That suggests the business has been generating a stronger return on total operating capital than on shareholder equity alone, a pattern that often invites closer attention to operating efficiency and capital discipline. In simple terms, the ROE figure shows what the company earned relative to shareholders’ funds, while the ROCE figure shows what it generated from the broader capital base used in the business.
Dividend yield is 1.95%, which gives Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price an income element based on historical or current payout relative to the present market price. That is not a future assurance, but it does add another layer to the stock’s fundamental profile. Within today’s share price decline, investors are therefore looking at a combination of a double-digit ROE, a 17.06% ROCE, EPS of 142.08 and a 1.11 P/B ratio rather than a pure momentum-only story.
For Univest readers following Ambika Cotton Mills Fundamental Analysis, the most important point is balance: today’s price fall is sharp, but the supplied profitability and valuation ratios are not extreme in isolation. That makes ownership structure less central here and shifts attention toward sector and peer positioning.

Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price is best understood in the context of the Textile sector and the Textile – Spinning industry. The supplied benchmark covers the same industry, spans 73 companies and shows where the company stands on valuation, profitability and market size versus its direct listed universe.
The company’s P/E of 13.39 sits below the industry median P/E of 15.61 and well below the industry average of 37.57. That average is influenced by a very wide range, with the minimum at 1.44 and the maximum at 345.69 across 47 companies with available P/E data. On this measure alone, Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price does not appear stretched relative to the benchmark set.
Price-to-book tells a slightly different story. The company’s P/B is 1.11, above the benchmark median of 0.67 but below the benchmark average of 1.28. The broader P/B range runs from -11.55 to 27.16 across 71 companies, highlighting how dispersed balance-sheet valuations are within textile spinning. That places the stock somewhere between the industry’s central tendency and its average on book-value valuation.
Profitability is mixed but notable. The company’s ROE of 12.69% is comfortably above the industry median of 1.28% and above the industry average of 4.6% across all 73 companies. ROCE of 17.06% is also above the industry median of 7.53%, although it is below the industry average of 23.22%. This means Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price is attached to a business that screens stronger than many industry peers on ROE and better than the median on ROCE, even if it does not exceed the average ROCE of the group.
Size also matters. The company’s market capitalisation of Rs 1089.01 crore is far above the industry median of Rs 48.26 crore and above the industry average of Rs 207.43 crore. Within a range of Rs 2.37 crore to Rs 1330.28 crore, Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. is one of the larger listed names in the same-industry set tracked by Univest.

ROCE stood at 17.06% versus the displayed peer median of 6.62%, providing a capital-efficiency comparison. Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. (AMBIKCO) has a market capitalisation of Rs 1,089.01 crore. Among the 5 peers shown, 4 have a larger market capitalisation.
Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price can also be assessed by looking at listed peers in Textile – Spinning. The supplied peer universe shows that the company sits in a relatively high market-cap cluster, but its valuation and profitability profile is more balanced than some larger and smaller names nearby.
At Rs 1089.01 crore in market capitalisation, Ambika Cotton Mills Ltd. is smaller than Pashupati Cotspin Ltd. at Rs 1330.28 crore, Sumeet Industries Ltd. at Rs 1204 crore, GHCL Textiles Ltd. at Rs 1160.89 crore and Nahar Spinning Mills Ltd. at Rs 1134.07 crore, but larger than Precot Ltd. at Rs 975.9 crore, Jaybharat Textiles & Real Estate Ltd. at Rs 894.69 crore, Rajapalayam Mills Ltd. at Rs 755.09 crore, Birla Cotsyn (India) Ltd. at Rs 716.1 crore and Sutlej Textiles And Industries Ltd. at Rs 644.34 crore.
On valuation, Ambika Cotton Mills trades at 13.39 times earnings. That is far below Pashupati Cotspin’s P/E of 85 and Sumeet Industries’ 43.72, slightly above GHCL Textiles at 12.07 and below Nahar Spinning at 14.97 and Precot at 27.22. Rajapalayam Mills is lower at 6.6. This places Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price in the middle zone rather than at the valuation extremes among peers with available P/E data.
On profitability, the company’s ROE of 12.69% is above Pashupati Cotspin’s 6.3%, Nahar Spinning’s 4.82% and Rajapalayam Mills’ 0.94%, but below Precot’s 26.83% and Sutlej Textiles’ 14.62%. It is also materially ahead of GHCL Textiles at -32.82% and peers with 0% ROE such as Sumeet Industries, Jaybharat Textiles and Birla Cotsyn. ROCE at 17.06% is above Pashupati Cotspin’s 8.81%, Nahar Spinning’s 6.62%, Rajapalayam Mills’ 3.73%, Sumeet Industries’ -1.66%, Jaybharat Textiles’ -42.79% and Birla Cotsyn’s -8.31%, though it remains below Precot’s 22.32%.
The peer picture therefore suggests that Ambika Cotton Mills Share Price is linked to a company with stronger profitability than several nearby peers, while its valuation remains lower than some richer textile-spinning counters.
