Market cap was Rs 1,12,267.24 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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31 August 2026 at 9:20:12 AM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Vedanta Share Price was under pressure in today\u2019s session, with the stock ending at Rs 278.70 after a 2.93% decline. The move took the company\u2019s market capitalisation to Rs 1,12,267.24 Cr, keeping Vedanta among the large cap names in the market. In current market terms, Vedanta Share Price Today is relevant because the day\u2019s fall came without any company-specific catalyst in the supplied data, so the verified record confirms the price event but does not establish a reason for it. That makes Vedanta Stock News useful to read as a factual market update first and a broader stock analysis second. For Univest readers, the key question is not only why Vedanta is falling today, but also what the day\u2019s price action says about its valuation, sector standing and next set of metrics to monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Vedanta Share Price News also matters because the stock is a large cap and its valuation, earnings profile and industry context are all visible in the supplied data. Univest frames the move through price, fundamentals and peer context rather than speculation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

Price Today opened at Rs 284.95, moved to an intraday high of Rs 286.05 and touched a low of Rs 277.15 before closing at Rs 278.70. The stock finished Rs 8.40 below the previous close of Rs 287.10, which translates into a 2.93% share price fall. That places today\u2019s decline in a clear same-day context: the stock traded inside a relatively tight band between the opening level and the day low, then settled close to the lower end of the session range.<\/p>\n<p>The reported turnover was Rs 3.21 Cr, which is a factual traded-value metric and should be read only as such. Since no catalyst is supplied, Vedanta Share Price Today can be described as a downward session whose confirmed details are price, range and turnover, not a disclosed trigger. The market-cap category supplied for Vedanta is Large Cap, and that classification should be used as company-size context only. In Univest\u2019s market update style, Vedanta Share Price News today is best understood as a measurable decline with a defined intraday path. The next lens is fundamentals, because that is where valuation and return ratios provide the strongest verified context for the day\u2019s move.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vedanta_VEDL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Vedanta (VEDL) 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 1,12,267.24 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;\">5.7x<\/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;\">2.05x<\/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;\">27.59%<\/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;\">18.72%<\/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 50.32<\/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 140.02<\/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;\">11.84%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Vedanta Share Price must be viewed alongside its fundamentals. The company\u2019s market capitalisation is Rs 1,12,267.24 Cr and enterprise value is not supplied in the dataset, so the valuation read relies on the reported multiples: P\/E of 5.7 and P\/B of 2.05. On those numbers, Vedanta trades on a lower P\/E than many non-ferrous metals peers in the supplied benchmark set, while its P\/B is close to the sector median of 1.93 and slightly below the sector average of 2.06.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability ratios are also relevant. ROE stands at 27.59% and ROCE at 18.72%, both of which help explain why Vedanta Stock Analysis remains active even on a down day. EPS is Rs 50.32, book value is Rs 140.02 and dividend yield is 11.84%; each of those figures is material because EPS reflects earnings per share, book value shows accounting net worth per share and dividend yield reflects payout relative to the current price. In Univest\u2019s reading, Vedanta Share Price Today is supported by a mix of low earnings multiple, respectable return ratios and a high historical dividend yield. That is factual context, not a forecast, and it naturally leads into ownership and sector comparison.<\/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;\">Non &#8211; Ferrous Metals<\/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;\">Metal &#8211; Non Ferrous<\/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;\">5.7x<\/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;\">19.35x<\/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;\">25.37x<\/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;\">5.7x to 129.59x<\/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;\">2.05x<\/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;\">1.93x<\/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;\">2.06x<\/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;\">27.59%<\/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;\">15.93%<\/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;\">-13.41%<\/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;\">18.72%<\/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;\">18.91%<\/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;\">25.82%<\/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 1,12,267.24 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 434.41 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 21,018.6 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The supplied sector benchmark for Non &#8211; Ferrous Metals covers 34 companies in the same industry, Metal &#8211; Non Ferrous. Within that group, Vedanta Share Price is evaluated against a company P\/E of 5.7, compared with a sector median P\/E of 19.35 and a sector average P\/E of 25.37. The stock therefore trades well below both the median and average on earnings multiples. Its P\/B of 2.05 sits close to the benchmark median of 1.93 and just below the benchmark average of 2.06, which places the book-value multiple near the centre of the peer set rather than at an extreme.<\/p>\n<p>On profitability, Vedanta\u2019s ROE of 27.59% is above the benchmark median ROE of 15.93%, while ROCE of 18.72% is just below the benchmark median ROCE of 18.91% and below the benchmark average of 25.82%. The sector dataset also shows a wide spread in market capitalisation, from Rs 12.7 Cr to Rs 2,62,688.08 Cr, with a median of Rs 434.41 Cr and average of Rs 21,018.6 Cr. That is a useful Univest context point: Vedanta\u2019s Rs 1,12,267.24 Cr market cap sits well above the sector medians and averages. For Vedanta Stock News readers, the takeaway is that the share price fall took place in a stock whose valuation is meaningfully below many sector norms, while returns on equity remain comparatively strong.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peer_Comparison\"><\/span><strong>Peer Comparison<\/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:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Company<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Symbol<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Market Cap (Cr)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/E<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/B<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROE (%)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROCE (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hindzinc\/hindustan-zinc-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Hindustan Zinc<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HINDZINC<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,62,688.08<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.39<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.35<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">76.94<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">69.83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hindalco\/hindalco-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Hindalco Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HINDALCO<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,33,026.15<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.21<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.26<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hindcopper\/hindustan-copper-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Hindustan Copper<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HINDCOPPER<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">51,590.73<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">45.39<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.96<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">30.67<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">39.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/vogl\/malco-energy-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>MALCO Energy<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">VOGL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15,778.42<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">-36.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/gravita\/gravita-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Gravita India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">GRAVITA<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13,481.48<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">34.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.27<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.53<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Vedanta Share Price can be read more clearly when compared with listed peers in the same sector.
