HFCL belongs to the Telecom sector and the Telecom-Infrastructure industry. The supplied sector benchmark covers 8 companies in the same industry, which gives a useful comparison set for HFCL Share Price and HFCL Stock Analysis. Within that group, HFCL’s P/E of 59.29 is at the top end of the range and equals the maximum in the peer set; the median is 11.04 and the average is 15.38. That makes the current valuation materially above the benchmark centre of gravity.
The same pattern appears in P/B, where HFCL’s 6.61 is above the peer median of 1.48 and the average of 2.11, again within a 8-company industry benchmark. On operating returns, ROE of 7.35% and ROCE of 10.86% are below the respective benchmark medians and averages.
