The company\u2019s market capitalisation stands at Rs 20,334.25 Cr, placing it in the Large Cap category. The same-day move is relevant because the stock opened at Rs 152.60, traded between Rs 152.60 and Rs 148.70, and finished below the previous close of Rs 152.20. On Univest, this makes CESC Share Price Today a clear event-led update for readers tracking CESC Stock News and CESC Share Price News. The data confirms the price event, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What can be read directly from the session is the gap between the day\u2019s opening level, the intraday range, and the final close.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

The stock opened at Rs 152.60, matched the day\u2019s high at Rs 152.60, and then moved to a low of Rs 148.70 before closing at Rs 149.00. That leaves the stock Rs 3.20 below the previous close of Rs 152.20, which is a 2.1% fall for the day. In absolute terms, the change is not large, but it is enough to make CESC Stock Falling Today a relevant stock-market update for users following price action in the Power space. Turnover was Rs 1.82 Cr, which is the exact traded-value figure supplied for the session. CESC\u2019s Large Cap status is also important context because the move happened in a company with a market capitalisation of Rs 20,334.25 Cr. For readers tracking CESC Share Price Live on Univest, today\u2019s range suggests an active session around Rs 149.00 rather than a flat close. The next layer of analysis is how the current price sits against long-term valuation and sector benchmarks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CESC_CESC_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>CESC (CESC) 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<thead>\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<\/thead>\n<tbody>\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 20,334.25 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;\">13.01x<\/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;\">1.56x<\/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;\">13.18%<\/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;\">11.48%<\/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 11.7<\/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 97.68<\/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;\">3.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>CESC\u2019s supplied fundamentals give useful context to the price fall. At Rs 149.00, the stock is trading on a P\/E ratio of 13.01 and a P\/B ratio of 1.56. Its ROE is 13.18% and ROCE is 11.48%, while EPS stands at Rs 11.70 and book value at Rs 97.68 per share. Dividend yield is 3.94%, which is a factual payout metric based on the current share price. The market capitalisation of Rs 20,334.25 Cr and enterprise-value-style context are best read alongside the Power sector comparison rather than in isolation. On these supplied numbers, CESC Share Price appears to be supported by moderate profitability ratios rather than extreme valuation multiples. That does not mean the stock must move in one direction; it simply means the numbers provide a balanced fundamental backdrop. For Univest readers searching CESC Fundamental Analysis, the key point is that the day\u2019s decline sits alongside a profile that includes earnings, book value and a dividend yield, not just a one-day move. The next question is how this stands relative to the Power sector benchmark and listed peers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_and_Industry_Context\"><\/span><strong>Sector and Industry Context<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\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<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Power<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Power Generation\/Distribution<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Scope<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">same industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">13.01x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">29.09x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">51.51x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark P\/E Range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0.78x to 356.47x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.56x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">2.11x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">3.24x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">13.18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">7.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">10.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">11.48%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">8.52%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">12.23%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 20,334.25 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 9,249.56 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 49,785.93 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>CESC operates in the Power sector and the Power Generation\/Distribution industry, where the benchmark scope is the same industry and the comparison set contains 41 companies.
