Exide Industries Share Price fell to Rs 427.10 on 02 September 2026, down 2.09% for the day, taking the stock lower from its previous close of Rs 436.20. With a market capitalisation of Rs 37,442.50 crore, the Large Cap battery company is drawing attention in today’s market update because the decline came after the stock opened at Rs 435.35 and moved down to an intraday low of Rs 426.75.
Today’s Exide Industries Share Price move confirms a clear same-day decline, but the supplied data does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the fall. That still makes the stock relevant in Exide Industries Stock News and Exide Industries News Today because investors typically track whether a price fall is backed by weak momentum, stretched valuation, changing profitability, or a shift in sector positioning.
From the verified figures available to Univest, investors should monitor four things next: whether the stock holds near its day low, how its valuation compares with other battery peers, whether return ratios justify that valuation, and how Exide Industries Share Price Today sits within the wider Automobile & Ancillaries and Batteries industry benchmarks.
Exide Industries (EXIDEIND) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Price | Rs 427.1 |
| Previous Close | Rs 436.2 |
| Today's Move | -Rs 9.10 (-2.09%) |
| Open | Rs 435.35 |
| High | Rs 436.5 |

| Market Cap Category | Large Cap |
Exide Industries Share Price Today reflects a steady intraday decline rather than a brief isolated dip, with the stock opening at Rs 435.35, touching a high of Rs 436.50, and then sliding to Rs 426.75 before trading at Rs 427.10. That places the day’s change at Rs -9.10, or -2.09%, versus the previous close of Rs 436.20. Turnover stood at Rs 2.90 crore at the time captured in the data.
The price structure matters here. The stock briefly tested levels above the previous close near the day’s high, but it was unable to sustain those gains and spent the session closer to the intraday low. For a Large Cap name with a market capitalisation of Rs 37,442.50 crore, that kind of session often attracts added attention in Exide Industries Share News because it points to a weaker near-term trading tone.
In simple terms, what happened today is that Exide Industries Share Price opened near the previous close, failed to hold early levels, and slipped through the day. The next step is to see whether the broader technical position supports that weak price action or shows a more mixed picture.

| P/E Ratio | 39.8x |
| P/B Ratio | 2.6x |
| ROE | 6.18% |

| EPS | Rs 10.96 |
| Book Value Per Share | Rs 167.71 |
| Dividend Yield | 0.46% |
Exide Industries Fundamental Analysis shows a business that commands a sizeable market value but is not screening as a low-multiple stock on the supplied numbers. The company’s market capitalisation stands at Rs 37,442.50 crore, while its P/E ratio is 39.8 and P/B ratio is 2.6. Those ratios matter because they indicate how much investors are paying for current earnings and book value.
Profitability metrics appear more moderate than the valuation multiple alone might suggest. Return on equity is 6.18% and return on capital employed is 9.04%, both useful indicators of how efficiently the business is generating returns from shareholder funds and total capital. EPS is Rs 10.96, which represents earnings attributable to each share, while book value per share is Rs 167.71, giving the accounting net worth behind each share. Dividend yield is 0.46, showing the historical payout relative to the current stock price.
Viewed together, the current Exide Industries Share Price sits on a valuation that needs to be read alongside return ratios rather than in isolation. That makes sector and peer comparisons especially important before drawing conclusions from today’s decline.

Exide Industries operates in Automobile & Ancillaries, specifically the Batteries industry, and the industry benchmark adds useful context to today’s decline. Across the same industry benchmark scope of 12 companies, Exide’s P/E of 39.8 sits above the median P/E of 27.72, though far below the average of 258.65, which is skewed by outliers in a range spanning 13.3 to 2104.4.
The valuation picture is more balanced on book value. Exide’s P/B ratio of 2.6 is below the industry median of 3.08. On profitability, however, the comparison is less favourable. Exide’s ROE of 6.18% is below the industry median of 16.63%, and its ROCE of 9.04% is also below the industry median of 19.3% and the industry average of 16.9%.
Size is one clear differentiator. Exide’s market capitalisation of Rs 37,442.50 crore is the highest in the 12-company same-industry set, above the industry average of Rs 6,399.25 crore and well above the median of Rs 449.82 crore. For readers following Exide Industries Stock Analysis on Univest, that means the stock combines category-leading scale with profitability metrics that currently trail industry medians.

Exide Industries Share Price also stands out when compared with the specific listed peers supplied in the Batteries space. Against HBL Engineering, Exide has a larger market capitalisation at Rs 37,442.50 crore versus Rs 18,221.41 crore, but Exide’s P/E of 39.8 is higher than HBL’s 23.41 while its ROE of 6.18% and ROCE of 9.04% are below HBL’s 20.45% and 27.46%.
Against Amara Raja Energy & Mobility, Exide again has the larger market cap, but Amara Raja trades at a lower P/E of 17.47 with higher ROE of 11.57% and ROCE of 15.73%. Eveready Industries India shows an even lower P/E of 13.3 and much stronger ROE of 31.64% and ROCE of 23.95%, albeit at a far smaller market cap of Rs 2,397.23 crore.
CLN Energy trades at 27.72 times earnings, below Exide, while posting ROE of 23.96% and ROCE of 31.85%. High Energy Batteries is the closest on valuation at P/E 40.92, yet its ROE of 14.58% and ROCE of 19.33% still exceed Exide’s. The broad peer picture suggests Exide commands scale, but its return profile is weaker than several smaller industry counterparts.
