Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price Today rose to Rs 106, up 10.59%, taking the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 206.38 crore.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price moved to Rs 106 on 18 August 2026, a gain of Rs 10.15 or 10.59% from the previous close of Rs 95.85, lifting the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 206.38 crore. In a market session where traders were scanning Stocks in News and Top Gainers Today, the move put this engineering counter firmly on the radar.
From the supplied data, the price event is clear even though the data does not establish a company-specific catalyst. Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price opened at Rs 97, stayed above that mark through the session, and rose to an intraday high of Rs 106, which was also the day’s last reported price. That kind of closing strength matters because it suggests the share price gain was sustained rather than fully given back.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price is also relevant because the stock falls in the Micro Cap market-cap category, and today’s move qualified it under the price-rise event screen used by Univest. Turnover stood at Rs 0.24 crore, while traded volume on NSE, total volume and current volume were each 22,800 shares. Investors tracking Kataria Industries Ltd. Stock News will now watch whether today’s rally translates into broader follow-through, whether valuation remains reasonable against engineering peers, and how profitability metrics such as ROE and ROCE compare with the wider industry set.

Kataria Industries Ltd. (KATARIA-SM) Fundamental Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 206.38 crore |
| P/E Ratio | 17.02x |
| P/B Ratio | 1.7x |
| ROE | 27.56% |
| ROCE | 14.38% |
| EPS | Rs 5.63 |
| Dividend Yield | 0.52% |
Kataria Industries Ltd. was valued at a P/E ratio of 17.02x, a P/B ratio of 1.7x. 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 27.56% and ROCE of 14.38%. 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 5.63, dividend yield of 0.52%. Dividend yield is a current or historical ratio and does not guarantee future distributions.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price is drawing attention not only because of today’s move, but also because the supplied valuation and profitability data offer a more balanced context than pure price action alone. At a market capitalisation of Rs 206.38 crore, Kataria Industries remains a micro cap company, which says more about size than quality. Within that size band, the stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 17.02 and a P/B ratio of 1.7.
Those multiples are important because they sit alongside relatively strong return ratios. Return on equity stands at 27.56%, while return on capital employed is 14.38%. For investors reading Kataria Industries Ltd. Fundamental Analysis, that means the company is generating a comparatively high return on shareholder equity and a solid return on capital employed based on the supplied numbers, although ROE and ROCE measure different things. ROE reflects returns generated on shareholder funds, while ROCE captures returns from the broader capital base used in the business.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price also gains context from its earnings and payout measures. Earnings per share are Rs 5.63, which indicates the earnings attributable to each share based on the supplied data. Dividend yield is 0.52, which reflects the historical or current payout relative to the stock price rather than any guaranteed future dividend stream. In valuation terms, a P/E of 17.02 against EPS of Rs 5.63 suggests that the market is not placing an extreme multiple on the stock versus its current earnings profile.
The P/B ratio of 1.7 also matters for Kataria Industries Ltd. Stock Analysis because it shows the market price at 1.7 times the company’s accounting book base. When paired with ROE of 27.56%, that combination can be relevant to investors looking for profitability support behind a share price rise. Univest notes, however, that a single-day move does not by itself settle the question of sustained business performance. That is why Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price needs to be viewed next through sector benchmarks and peer positioning, not through today’s rally alone.

Track today’s top gainers through the Univest top gainers screener. The peer table below provides the company-level comparison.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price belongs to the Capital Goods sector and the Engineering industry, and the supplied benchmark uses a same-industry comparison set of 25 companies. Against that benchmark, the stock’s valuation and return ratios look mixed to positive rather than one-dimensional, which is useful context after a sharp single-session move.
Start with valuation. The company’s P/E ratio is 17.02. Within the same-industry benchmark, P/E data are available for 23 companies, with a median of 16.3, an average of 20.83, a minimum of 4.91 and a maximum of 55.7. That places Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price slightly above the median but below the average, suggesting the stock is not screened as an outlier on earnings valuation within this engineering basket.
On book valuation, the company’s P/B ratio is 1.7. The same-industry benchmark has P/B data for 24 companies, with a median of 2.05, an average of 2.86, a minimum of -1.79 and a maximum of 10.5. By that measure, Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price is below both the median and average benchmark P/B, which can matter for investors comparing profitability with balance-sheet valuation.
Profitability looks stronger than benchmark medians and averages in the supplied data. Company ROE is 27.56%, versus an industry median ROE of 2.56% and an average of -25.97 across 24 companies. Company ROCE is 14.38%, above the median of 6.02% and the average of 7.12 across 24 companies. Market-cap context is also relevant: Kataria Industries stands at Rs 206.38 crore, above the industry median of Rs 170.06 crore but below the average of Rs 320.26 crore, within a range of Rs 4.11 crore to Rs 2,283.29 crore. Univest views this as evidence that the stock sits in the middle of the industry size band while showing stronger-than-benchmark return ratios.

Kataria Industries Ltd. (KATARIA-SM) has a P/E ratio of 17.02x compared with the displayed peer median of 23.84x. This is a relative valuation comparison, not a buy or sell signal. Its ROE of 27.56% compares with a peer median of 11.48% across the companies shown in the table. ROCE stood at 14.38% versus the displayed peer median of 13.55%, providing a capital-efficiency comparison. Kataria Industries Ltd. (KATARIA-SM) has a market capitalisation of Rs 206.38 crore. Among the 5 peers shown, 5 have a larger market capitalisation.
Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price looks more interesting when stacked against listed engineering peers because the supplied peer set shows a wide spread in valuation, size and profitability. That range helps frame whether today’s move reflects a company already trading at stretched multiples or one that still sits closer to sector norms.
The largest peer in the supplied set is Thejo Engineering Ltd. with a market cap of Rs 2,283.29 crore, a P/E of 41.03, P/B of 6.24, ROE of 29.31% and ROCE of 37.12%. At the other end of the valuation scale, KP Green Engineering Ltd. trades at a P/E of 9.73 with P/B of 4.07, ROE of 9.93% and ROCE of 12.23%, while South West Pinnacle Exploration Ltd. is at a P/E of 18.43, P/B of 2.96, ROE of 11.48% and ROCE of 13.55%.
Against those names, Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price at a P/E of 17.02 sits above KP Green Engineering and below South West Pinnacle only marginally, and far below Thejo Engineering and Anlon Technology Solution, which trades at a P/E of 36.61. Its P/B of 1.7 is also far below Thejo’s 6.24, Anlon’s 6.87 and TAURIAN MPS LIMITED’s 10.5, while remaining close to Affordable Robotic & Automation Ltd. at 1.71 and above Innovators Facade Systems Ltd. at 1.22.
On returns, Kataria Industries Ltd. Share Price stands out more positively than its valuation might suggest. ROE of 27.56% is below Thejo’s 29.31% and Anlon’s 58.42%, but well above KP Green Engineering’s 9.93%, South West Pinnacle’s 11.48%, GTV Engineering’s 2.24% and Innovators Facade Systems’ 0.77%. ROCE of 14.38% is modest relative to Thejo and Anlon, but still above KP Green Engineering’s 12.23%, South West Pinnacle’s 13.55% and comfortably ahead of several weaker peers. In market-cap terms, Kataria Industries at Rs 206.38 crore is smaller than all five highlighted peers and also below Organic Recycling Systems at Rs 249.22 crore, indicating that investors are looking at a relatively small company with competitive profitability metrics.

About Kataria Industries Ltd.
