Market cap was Rs 1,33,145.75 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"univest-article-timestamp\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#5F6673;margin:8px 0 18px 0;;margin-top:0!important;margin-bottom:0!important;\"><strong>Published:<\/strong> 28 August 2026 at 10:08:59 AM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Punjab National Bank Share Price rose today, with the stock closing at Rs 114.9 after a 2.59% gain from the previous close of Rs 112. The company\u2019s market capitalisation stands at Rs 1,33,145.75 crore, placing Punjab National Bank Share Price Today among the more closely watched public-sector banking names in the Indian market. The session opened at Rs 115.15, touched a high of Rs 115.55 and a low of Rs 114.45, while turnover was Rs 1.26 crore.<\/p>\n<p>The verified data confirms a same-day price rise, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. For readers tracking Punjab National Bank Stock News, the key context today is the combination of a modest price increase, a sub-1 P\/B ratio, a low single-digit P\/E ratio and a large market capitalisation. In Univest coverage, this kind of move is best read through price action, valuation, sector comparison and the business profile rather than through unsupported assumptions about why the stock moved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p

The stock opened close to the day\u2019s high at Rs 115.15 versus the high of Rs 115.55, while the low was Rs 114.45. That leaves the session in a relatively tight band around the opening range and the closing level.<\/p>\n<p>For PNB Share Price readers, the day\u2019s move is factual, clear and contained within a narrow intraday range. The data also shows turnover of Rs 1.26 crore, which provides a traded-value reference for the session. Univest notes the move as a share price rise, not as a comment on any unverified trigger. In stock market today terms, Punjab National Bank Stock News is being driven by the price event itself and by how the numbers compare with its banking peers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Punjab_National_Bank_PNB_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Punjab National Bank (PNB) Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 1,33,145.75 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.83x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0.88x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">12.93%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">13.26%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>EPS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 19.22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Book Value Per Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 127.02<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">2.68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Punjab National Bank (PNB) fundamental metrics show P\/E 5.83x, P\/B 0.88x, ROE 12.93%, ROCE 13.26%.

Additional supplied metrics include EPS of Rs 19.22, book value per share of Rs 127.02, dividend yield of 2.68%, adding context to earnings, balance-sheet value and historical payout. Against the supplied same industry benchmark, these figures can be compared with benchmark median P\/E of 7.68x, median ROE of 14.7%, median ROCE of 11.73%.
