Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills (SURYALAXMI) Share Price Falls 13.21% to Rs 55.37

Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills Share Price fell to Rs 55.37 on 03 September 2026, a decline of 13.21% for the day from the previous close of Rs 63.80. The move reduced the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 122.23 crore and placed the Micro Cap textile stock among the notable decliners being tracked during the session.
The supplied market data confirms the decline, but it does not identify any company-specific trigger for the move. Even without a stated catalyst, the shift is meaningful because the stock opened at Rs 61.99, which was also the day’s high, and later moved down to an intraday low of Rs 55.05. That intraday pattern points to sustained selling pressure from the open rather than a recovery later in trade. With turnover at Rs 0.01 crore, investors are likely to focus less on speculation and more on what the available numbers say about valuation, profitability and sector standing.

Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills Share Price today reflects a sharp one-session drop of Rs 8.43. Because the stock opened at Rs 61.99 and never traded above that level, the day’s structure suggests weakness set in early and remained visible through the session. The distance between the high of Rs 61.99 and the low of Rs 55.05 also shows how quickly the price band widened.
From a trend-marker perspective, the stock is below both the 50-day moving average of Rs 59.14 and the 200-day moving average of Rs 57.99. The available RSI reading is 64.14. Those numbers do not explain why the stock fell, but they do help frame where the stock is trading relative to commonly tracked reference levels. For short-term market participants, whether the price stabilises near the day’s low or continues to trade below those moving averages may remain an important near-term point of observation.
Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills (SURYALAXMI) Fundamental Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Capitalisation | Rs 122.23 crore |
| P/E Ratio | 29.94x |
| P/B Ratio | 0.44x |
| ROE | 1.37% |
| ROCE | 7.19% |
| EPS | Rs 2.13 |
| Book Value Per Share | Rs 145.23 |
| Dividend Yield | 0% |
Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills fundamental analysis presents a mixed valuation picture. The company trades at a P/E ratio of 29.94 and a P/B ratio of 0.44. A low price-to-book multiple can attract attention, especially when compared with a reported book value per share of Rs 145.23, but valuation alone does not settle the question of quality or earnings power. In this case, the earnings base shown by EPS is Rs 2.13.
Profitability indicators are relatively modest. ROE stands at 1.37% and ROCE at 7.19%, suggesting that returns on shareholder funds and capital employed are not especially strong in the supplied dataset. The dividend yield is 0, so there is no indicated cash-yield support from the available data. Taken together, the figures show why the current setup can be interpreted in more than one way: the stock looks inexpensive on book value, but the return ratios are weak, and the P/E is not especially low relative to broader textile benchmarks.

The company belongs to the Textile sector and Textile industry. The benchmark snapshot covers 225 same-industry companies, which is useful because it adds context to ratios that can otherwise look attractive or stretched in isolation. The P/E comparison is a good example: the company’s 29.94 is above the industry median of 16.15, though below the industry average of 69.86. Given the very wide industry P/E range of 0.7 to 2,074.76 across 174 companies with available data, the average is clearly influenced by dispersion.
On price-to-book, the company’s 0.44 sits below the industry median of 1.17 and average of 3.05, which reinforces the view that the stock screens cheaper on book value than many textile names. However, the return profile is weaker than the sector middle. ROE of 1.37% trails both the industry median of 7.39% and average of 8.96%, while ROCE of 7.19% is below the median of 9.79% and average of 12.94%. Market capitalisation at Rs 122.23 crore is above the industry median of Rs 93.35 crore but still far below the average of Rs 1,208.33 crore. Overall, the sector data suggests that the stock’s low P/B should be read alongside below-median profitability.
Peer Comparison
| Company | Symbol | Market Cap (Cr) | P/E | P/B | ROE (%) | ROCE (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page Industries | PAGEIND | 40,359.4 | 53.4 | 23.81 | 52.5 | 73.6 |
| K.P.R. Mill | KPRMILL | 39,561.55 | 43.85 | 6.72 | 16.2 | 20.16 |
| Welspun Living | WELSPUNLIV | 18,715.55 | 68.08 | 3.92 | 13.83 | 15.04 |
| Vardhman Textiles | VTL | 17,444.11 | 20.06 | 1.57 | 7.39 | 8.91 |
| Arvind | ARVIND | 15,167.63 | 37.62 | 3.39 | 10.92 | 15.3 |
The size difference between Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills and the supplied peer set is substantial. The company’s market cap of Rs 122.23 crore is far below Page Industries at Rs 40,359.40 crore, K.P.R. Mill at Rs 39,561.55 crore, Welspun Living at Rs 18,715.55 crore, Vardhman Textiles at Rs 17,444.11 crore and Arvind at Rs 15,167.63 crore. That comparison matters because scale often influences stability, margins and how investors assign valuation multiples.
On P/E, the company at 29.94 trades below Page Industries, K.P.R. Mill, Welspun Living and Arvind, but above Vardhman Textiles at 20.06. On P/B, the company’s 0.44 is below all five peers, whose multiples range from 1.57 to 23.81. The return comparison is less favourable: ROE of 1.37% and ROCE of 7.19% are below each peer in the supplied list except that Vardhman’s ROE of 7.39% still remains well ahead. So while the stock looks relatively low-priced on book value, its profitability profile is weaker than these larger textile names.
