Market cap was Rs 38,266.53 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Astral Share Price was at Rs 1,393.50, down 2.17% from the previous close, with a market capitalisation of Rs 38,266.53 crore as of 21 October 2026 at 12:22:53 PM IST. The move keeps Astral Share Price in focus in today\u2019s market because the decline happened within the session, not after the session, and because the stock still trades with a premium valuation versus much of its Plastic Products peer set. Univest figures confirm the price action, but they do not point to a specific company trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Astral Share Price news today therefore centres on price action, valuation and sector positioning rather than a disclosed trigger. The company remains a Large Cap by the category provided, and Astral Share Price today sits below the previous close while still well above the benchmark median valuation in its industry. Investors tracking Astral Share Price can use the day\u2019s numbers to separate a one-session decline from a broader business read-through. Univest data points to a stock that has moved, but the core question is whether fundamentals justify the current multiple.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy

That places Astral Share Price Rs 30.90 below the previous close of Rs 1,424.40, a decline of 2.17% in the latest session. The stock moved from a higher open to a lower trading band, with the day\u2019s low almost matching the last traded level. Astral Share Price is being discussed as a Large Cap, which matters because market-cap context often shapes how investors interpret an intraday move. With a market capitalisation of Rs 38,266.53 crore, Astral Share Price remains a sizeable listed franchise even after today\u2019s fall.<\/p>\n<p>For Astral Share Price today, the key fact is simple: the stock is trading lower within the session and the day\u2019s range has been narrow relative to the gap from the previous close. That is enough to confirm the share price fall without adding any unsupported explanation. Univest data shows Astral Share Price today as a lower quote in live trading, and the next analytical step is to compare valuation, profitability and sector benchmarks with the same precision. That is where Astral Share Price becomes more informative than the one-day move alone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Astral_ASTRAL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Astral (ASTRAL) 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 38,266.53 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;\">66.49x<\/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;\">9.16x<\/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;\">13.94%<\/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;\">19.95%<\/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 21.42<\/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 155.48<\/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;\">0.28%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Astral (ASTRAL) fundamental metrics show P\/E 66.49x, P\/B 9.16x, ROE 13.94%, ROCE 19.95%.

On valuation, P\/E at 66.49x, P\/B at 9.16x should be read against the sector and peer benchmarks rather than as a standalone signal. Profitability is represented by ROE of 13.94% and ROCE of 19.95%, helping investors compare shareholder returns and capital efficiency. According to latest Univest data, additional metrics include EPS of Rs 21.42, book value per share of Rs 155.48, dividend yield of 0.28%, adding context to earnings, balance-sheet value and historical payout. Against the latest Univest same industry benchmark, these figures can be compared with benchmark median P\/E of 18.77x, median ROE of 8.5%, median ROCE of 11.33%.
