Vodafone Idea Share Price was at Rs 14.26 on 01 September 2026 at 1:19:17 PM IST, down 2.19% for the day. The stock was lower by Rs 0.32 from the previous close of Rs 14.58, while the company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 1,58,830.89 crore.
The available market data confirms the decline, but it does not identify a company-specific trigger behind the move. Even so, the stock is drawing interest because Vodafone Idea is a Large Cap telecom company, the day’s trading range stayed narrow between Rs 14.25 and Rs 14.62, and the share continues to trade above both its 50-day moving average of Rs 13.66 and 200-day moving average of Rs 12.14.
This article reviews the day’s price action, key technical markers, valuation metrics, sector benchmarks and peer positioning using only the supplied figures.
Vodafone Idea (IDEA) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Price | Rs 14.26 |
| Previous Close | Rs 14.58 |
| Today's Move | -Rs 0.32 (-2.19%) |
| Open | Rs 14.6 |
| High | Rs 14.62 |
| Low | Rs 14.25 |
| Turnover | Rs 18.96 crore |
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 1,58,830.89 crore |
| Market Cap Category | Large Cap |
Vodafone Idea Share Price shows a clear negative intraday session. The stock opened at Rs 14.60, touched a day high of Rs 14.62, and then moved lower to Rs 14.25 before trading at Rs 14.26. That leaves the price close to the session low and below both the opening level and previous close.
The intraday band was relatively tight, yet the direction stayed weak through the session covered here. Turnover of Rs 18.96 crore indicates active value participation, though turnover alone does not explain why the move happened. For a company with a market cap of Rs 1,58,830.89 crore, even a moderate percentage decline can attract broader market attention.
On technical markers, the stock remains above the 50 DMA of Rs 13.66 and the 200 DMA of Rs 12.14. RSI stands at 68.02. Taken together, the latest session reflects short-term weakness in price, but the supplied moving-average data still places the stock above those medium- and longer-period reference levels.
Vodafone Idea (IDEA) Fundamental Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 1,58,830.89 crore |
| P/E Ratio | 4.22x |
| P/B Ratio | -4x |
| ROE | 0% |
| ROCE | 46.77% |
| EPS | Rs 3.45 |
| Book Value Per Share | Rs -3.65 |
| Dividend Yield | 0% |
The fundamental picture is mixed rather than simple. On earnings valuation, the company trades at a P/E of 4.22, which is low compared with many telecom names in the supplied benchmark set. EPS stands at Rs 3.45, and at face value that helps explain why the earnings multiple appears compressed versus peers.
However, the balance-sheet-related figures are less conventional. The P/B ratio is -4 and book value per share is Rs -3.65. A negative book value means a standard price-to-book comparison should be read with caution rather than treated like a typical positive-net-worth business. Dividend yield is 0%, so the data does not show any dividend support in the stock’s return profile.
Profitability indicators also point in different directions. ROE is 0%, while ROCE is 46.77%. That gap matters because it shows the supplied return ratios are not moving in tandem. As a result, Vodafone Idea Share Price cannot be described by a single headline valuation metric alone; the earnings multiple, capital return ratio and balance-sheet profile all need to be viewed together.
Sector and Industry Context
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Sector | Telecom |
| Industry | Telecommunication – Service Provider |
| Benchmark Scope | same industry |
| Company P/E Ratio | 4.22x |
| Benchmark Median P/E | 37.8x |
| Benchmark Average P/E | 45.37x |
| Benchmark P/E Range | 0.13x to 201.07x |
| Company P/B Ratio | -4x |
| Benchmark Median P/B | 2.15x |
| Benchmark Average P/B | 2.5x |
| Company ROE | 0% |
| Benchmark Median ROE | 0% |
| Benchmark Average ROE | 6.3% |
| Company ROCE | 46.77% |
| Benchmark Median ROCE | 15.75% |
| Benchmark Average ROCE | 23.71% |
| Company Market Capitalisation | Rs 1,58,830.89 crore |
| Benchmark Median Market Cap | Rs 1,874.54 crore |
| Benchmark Average Market Cap | Rs 1,05,308.03 crore |
The company operates in the Telecom sector and Telecommunication – Service Provider industry. The same-industry benchmark covers 15 companies, with P/E data available for 11. In that context, the company’s P/E of 4.22 sits well below the median of 37.8 and average of 45.37. The benchmark P/E range is wide, from 0.13 to 201.07, showing that valuations vary sharply across the industry.
On price-to-book, the company’s -4 compares with a benchmark median of 2.15 and average of 2.5. That makes the stock an outlier on this measure. On ROE, the company is at 0%, equal to the benchmark median and below the average of 6.3%. On ROCE, the supplied figure of 46.77% is above both the benchmark median of 15.75% and average of 23.71%.
Scale is another important part of the comparison. With a market cap of Rs 1,58,830.89 crore, the company is far larger than the industry median market cap of Rs 1,874.54 crore and above the industry average of Rs 1,05,308.03 crore. So while the stock looks low-priced on P/E, its overall profile is best described as large in size but unusual in balance-sheet and return-ratio terms.
Peer Comparison
| Company | Symbol | Market Cap (Cr) | P/E | P/B | ROE (%) | ROCE (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bharti Airtel | BHARTIARTL | 11,74,585.24 | 39.5 | 6.11 | 25.8 | 25.05 |
| Indus Towers | INDUSTOWER | 99,933.61 | 14.16 | 2.45 | 19.82 | 30.51 |
| Bharti Hexacom | BHARTIHEXA | 77,192.5 | 42.32 | 10.09 | 26.47 | 29.3 |
| Tata Communications | TATACOMM | 48,314.89 | 51.93 | 14.06 | 31.66 | 15.75 |
| Railtel Corporation Of India | RAILTEL | 8,949.37 | 25.59 | 3.8 | 16.25 | 23.03 |
Relative to key peers, the valuation gap is obvious. Bharti Airtel trades at 39.5 times earnings, Indus Towers at 14.16, Bharti Hexacom at 42.32, Tata Communications at 51.93, and Railtel at 25.59. Against that set, Vodafone Idea Share Price is on a much lower P/E of 4.22.
Return ratios tell a more layered story. ROCE at 46.77% is above Bharti Airtel’s 25.05%, Indus Towers’ 30.51%, Bharti Hexacom’s 29.3%, Tata Communications’ 15.75%, and Railtel’s 23.03%. But ROE at 0% is below the peer figures of 25.8%, 19.82%, 26.47%, 31.66%, and 16.25% respectively. The P/B ratio of -4 also stands apart from these peers, all of which show positive P/B values in the listed comparison set.
That makes the peer picture clear: the stock screens cheap on earnings, but it does not look like a standard low-multiple telecom comparison because the book-value profile and equity return data are materially different.
