Vodafone Idea Share Price

Vodafone Idea Share Price Today rose to Rs 14.12, up 3.07%, taking the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 1,52,763.68 crore.

Vodafone Idea Share Price was at Rs 14.12 on 18 August 2026, up 3.07% for the day, lifting the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 1,52,763.68 crore. That made Vodafone Idea Share Price one of the notable large-cap movers in today’s session, especially because the stock crossed the price-rise threshold applicable to its Large Cap category under the event screen used for this article.

The supplied data confirms a clear same-day price rise rather than a long-term milestone. The stock moved up by Rs 0.42 from the previous close of Rs 13.70, after opening at Rs 13.65, touching an intraday high of Rs 14.31 and a low of Rs 13.50. For investors tracking Vodafone Idea Share Price Today, the move stood out not only because of the percentage gain but also because of the sheer trading activity behind it.

Total traded volume reached 84,81,44,535 shares across exchanges, with NSE volume at 82,03,77,714 shares and BSE volume at 2,77,66,821 shares. Turnover on the exchange tagged in the feed stood at Rs 39.21 crore. In Vodafone Idea Stock News, that combination of price rise, liquid trading and large market capitalisation is what makes today’s move relevant. The supplied data establishes the event, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. From here, the main questions are how the day’s price action developed, how the telecom sector benchmarks frame the stock, and why market participants are watching the name on Univest.

Vodafone Idea Ltd. (IDEA) Fundamental Analysis

Metric Value
Market Capitalisation Rs 1,52,763.68 crore

Vodafone Idea Share Price is drawing attention today mainly through market-cap scale and trading activity. The supplied data places the company at Rs 1,52,763.68 crore in market capitalisation, a figure that establishes Vodafone Idea as a large listed telecom player rather than a niche or thinly traded name.

From a Vodafone Idea Fundamental Analysis perspective, the most important verified number in this dataset is market capitalisation. At Rs 1,52,763.68 crore, the company’s size is far above the sector benchmark median market cap of Rs 243.25 crore and the sector benchmark average of Rs 728.42 crore across 25 companies in the same sector sample. That gap does not, by itself, tell investors whether the stock is cheap or expensive, but it does show that the market assigns Vodafone Idea a dramatically larger equity value than the other telecom names listed in the benchmark set supplied here.

That difference is important when reading Vodafone Idea Share Price Today. Large market capitalisation can influence liquidity, index relevance, market visibility and the scale of investor participation during a single-day move. It also means a 3.07% change translates into a sizeable change in notional equity value, which is one reason today’s move matters in Vodafone Idea Stock Analysis.

The supplied data also helps frame the distinction between company size and company quality. Market capitalisation reflects what the market is currently valuing the equity at; it is not a direct measure of profitability, balance-sheet strength or cash generation. Even so, when a stock with a market cap above Rs 1.5 lakh crore records a same-day price rise and extremely heavy volume, it naturally commands attention in Stock Market Today coverage.

For readers using Univest for Vodafone Idea Share Price tracking, the fundamental takeaway from the verified numbers is straightforward: today’s interest is occurring in a very large telecom stock, not in a small illiquid counter. That scale adds significance to the price action and sets up the next question of how the broader Telecom sector compares on valuation and return metrics.

Sector and Industry Context

Metric Value
Sector Telecom
Benchmark Scope same sector
Benchmark Median P/E 13.79x
Benchmark Average P/E 21.29x
Benchmark P/E Range 0.13x to 57.57x
Benchmark Median P/B 1.74x
Benchmark Median ROE 3.21%
Benchmark Median ROCE 3.86%
Company Market Capitalisation Rs 1,52,763.68 crore
Benchmark Median Market Cap Rs 243.25 crore

Vodafone Idea Ltd. (IDEA) is classified under sector: Telecom.

Track today’s top gainers through the Univest top gainers screener. The peer table below provides the company-level comparison.

The telecom benchmark in the supplied dataset covers 25 companies in the same sector. It shows wide dispersion across valuation and return ratios, with a median P/E of 13.79, average P/E of 21.29 and a range from 0.13 to 57.57, highlighting how mixed sector positioning can be.

For Vodafone Idea Share Price, sector context matters because today’s move happened inside a telecom group where business models and financial profiles vary widely between service providers, infrastructure businesses and equipment names. The benchmark scope is explicitly same sector, and it covers 25 companies. Within that basket, the median P/E is 13.79 while the average P/E is 21.29, with the sector’s P/E range stretching from 0.13 to 57.57. That spread shows that the market is assigning very different earnings multiples across telecom-linked companies.

Price-to-book numbers are similarly dispersed. The benchmark median P/B is 1.74 and the average is 2.69, while the range runs from -5.56 to 19.55. On returns, the benchmark median ROE is 3.21 and the average ROE is -35.65. For ROCE, the median is 3.86 and the average is 5.06. Those figures suggest the sector contains both profitable and stressed companies, which is why stock-specific moves often attract close scrutiny in Market News and Stocks in News coverage.

Market-cap distribution adds another layer. The median market cap across the 25-company benchmark is Rs 243.25 crore, the average is Rs 728.42 crore, the minimum is Rs 3.98 crore and the maximum is Rs 3,120.66 crore. Against that backdrop, Vodafone Idea’s market capitalisation of Rs 1,52,763.68 crore sits far outside the upper end of the supplied sector sample. In other words, Vodafone Idea Share Price Today is being judged in a sector where the company’s size is in a completely different bracket from the benchmark constituents listed here. Univest readers should therefore read today’s top-gainer move through both liquidity and scale, not just percentage change.

The supplied telecom peers show how varied the sector is on valuations, profitability and size. Vodafone Idea’s own market capitalisation at Rs 1,52,763.68 crore towers over every listed peer in the snapshot, while peer P/E, P/B, ROE and ROCE figures highlight how fragmented the sector remains.

The peer snapshot includes Bondada Engineering, Vindhya Telelinks, Hathway Cable & Datacom, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam, GTL Infrastructure, Valiant Communications, STL Networks, ADC India Communications, Suyog Telematics and Sar Televenture. Their market capitalisations range from Rs 542.85 crore for Sar Televenture to Rs 3,120.66 crore for Bondada Engineering. On that measure alone, Vodafone Idea Share Price is attached to a company that is much larger than the entire peer list supplied here.

Valuation multiples in the peer group vary sharply. Bondada Engineering trades at a P/E of 15.15, Vindhya Telelinks at 12.44, Hathway Cable & Datacom at 24.8, GTL Infrastructure at 1.43, Valiant Communications at 51.8, ADC India Communications at 49.55, Suyog Telematics at 15.83 and Sar Televenture at 7.05. The P/B spectrum is also wide, from -0.30 for GTL Infrastructure and -0.06 for MTNL to 11.72 for ADC India Communications and 11.43 for Valiant Communications.

Profitability metrics show similar dispersion. ROE stands at 19.19 for Bondada, 18.97 for Suyog, 18.22 for ADC India, 6.78 for Vindhya, 4.87 for Valiant, 3.21 for Hathway and 0 for MTNL, GTL Infrastructure, STL Networks and Sar Televenture. ROCE ranges from 29.78 for Suyog and 24.45 for ADC India to -15.56 for GTL Infrastructure and -3.66 for MTNL. For Vodafone Idea Stock News, this peer set reinforces one central point: the telecom space is not uniform, and today’s share price gain should be read against a sector where scale, valuations and returns differ significantly across listed names.

Why Investors Are Watching Vodafone Idea

Vodafone Idea Share Price is being watched because today’s move combined a 3.07% gain with very high traded volume and a large market capitalisation base. In a market where many price rises occur in smaller stocks, a same-day advance in a company valued at Rs 1,52,763.68 crore naturally stands out in Top Gainers Today and broader Stock Updates.

  • Verified price action: the stock rose Rs 0.42 from Rs 13.70 to Rs 14.12, after trading between Rs 13.50 and Rs 14.31.

What should investors monitor next?

On Univest, those levels help frame the next Vodafone Idea Share Price Update without turning the analysis into a recommendation.
