HDFC Asset Management Company Share Price fell to Rs 2482.2 on 02 September 2026, down 2.61% for the day. The move reduced the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 1,10,079.95 crore. With the stock opening at Rs 2522.3 against the previous close of Rs 2548.8, then touching a low of Rs 2477.25 on turnover of Rs 2.21 crore, the weakness has put the counter in focus in morning trade.
The supplied market data confirms the decline but does not identify a company-specific trigger. That makes today’s move mainly a numbers-driven update rather than an event tied to a disclosed operational development. What stands out is that the session high was also Rs 2522.3, meaning the opening level remained the strongest price of the day so far, while the stock stayed below both its 50-day moving average of Rs 2558.81 and 200-day moving average of Rs 2574.27.
From a broader market lens, HDFC Asset Management Company Share Price is being watched because it belongs to a Large Cap company in the Finance – Asset Management industry and still trades at valuation multiples above industry medians. At the same time, the company’s profitability ratios remain stronger than sector averages. That mix of premium valuation, high returns and an intraday decline is central to how investors may frame this price action.

HDFC Asset Management Company Share Price Today reflects a weak opening and further intraday pressure. The stock began at Rs 2522.3, already below the previous close, and later moved down to Rs 2477.25 before trading at Rs 2482.2. Because the day’s high matched the opening print, buyers have not yet pushed the stock above its initial level in this session.
In absolute terms, the stock was down Rs 66.6, or 2.61%. That is a meaningful one-day move for a Large Cap name of this size. Turnover of Rs 2.21 crore shows active trading interest, but the supplied figures do not explain why the move occurred. For that reason, it is more appropriate to focus on what the market data clearly shows: a weaker session structure and a price sitting below recent trend references.
A key technical point is that the stock is trading below both the 50 DMA of Rs 2558.81 and the 200 DMA of Rs 2574.27. Those are widely followed markers, and trading below both can keep short-term attention elevated. The RSI stands at 45.95, which places the stock in a mid-range zone rather than an extreme reading based on the supplied data.
HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFCAMC) Fundamental Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 1,10,079.95 crore |
| P/E Ratio | 37.08x |
| P/B Ratio | 11.07x |
| ROE | 33.61% |
| ROCE | 42.89% |
| EPS | Rs 68.74 |
| Book Value Per Share | Rs 230.17 |
| Dividend Yield | 2.12% |
Even after today’s decline, the business metrics supplied for HDFC AMC continue to show a strong profitability profile. The company has a market capitalisation of Rs 1,10,079.95 crore and trades at a P/E ratio of 37.08 and a P/B ratio of 11.07. Those numbers indicate that the market is assigning a premium valuation to the company relative to many listed businesses.
The return ratios help explain part of that premium. ROE stands at 33.61%, while ROCE is 42.89%, both comfortably strong in absolute terms. EPS is Rs 68.74, book value per share is Rs 230.17, and dividend yield is 2.12%. Together, these figures suggest the current market discussion is less about weak profitability and more about how much investors are willing to pay for a large, high-return asset management franchise.
This distinction matters because a daily decline does not automatically imply deterioration in underlying fundamentals. The supplied data does not report any new earnings issue, balance-sheet stress or guidance revision. Instead, it shows a stock with strong returns, sizable scale and premium multiples that has come under price pressure in the current session.

Within the Finance – Asset Management industry, the company is being compared with a same-industry benchmark of 12 companies. On valuation, HDFC AMC stands above the industry median and average. Its P/E of 37.08 is higher than the median of 29.58 and the average of 32.92 across 11 companies with P/E data. The same-industry P/E range runs from 5.39 to 59.44.
The premium is also visible on price-to-book. The company’s P/B of 11.07 is above the industry median of 4.34 and average of 7.36 across 12 companies. However, the profitability comparison is stronger as well. ROE at 33.61% is above the industry median of 22.67% and average of 22.65, while ROCE at 42.89% is above the median of 28.84% and average of 29.75.
Scale is another differentiator. The company’s market capitalisation of Rs 1,10,079.95 crore is far above the same-industry median of Rs 2,782.44 crore and average of Rs 32,209 crore, though still below the segment maximum of Rs 1,51,510.01 crore. So the industry picture is not simply one of expensive valuation; it is one of a large and highly profitable business that the market prices above central peer benchmarks.

| CANARA ROBECO AMC | CRAMC | 5,095.12 | 23.33 | 6.22 | 30.33 | 41.1 |
Peer data shows that HDFC AMC is not the highest-valued stock in the group, even though it trades above industry medians. ICICI Prudential AMC is larger at Rs 1,51,510.01 crore and carries a higher P/E of 45.43 and P/B of 29.56. Nippon Life India Asset Management, with a market cap of Rs 76,786.58 crore, also trades at higher P/E and P/B multiples of 45.81 and 14.94.
Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, UTI AMC and Canara Robeco AMC all trade at lower P/E and P/B levels than HDFC AMC. On profitability, HDFC AMC compares favorably with most of these peers, with ROE of 33.61% and ROCE of 42.89% ahead of Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC and UTI AMC, and close to Canara Robeco AMC on ROCE. Nippon Life India Asset Management is relatively close on returns, while ICICI Prudential AMC stands out with much higher return ratios in the supplied comparison set.
That peer mix suggests the stock occupies an upper tier in both size and profitability, with valuation positioned above the industry middle but below the most expensive end of the major-peer table. For readers tracking HDFC Asset Management Company Share Price, that context matters more than simply noting a one-day decline.
