Market cap was Rs 39,522.47 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Astral Share Price fell to Rs 1,421.85 today, down 2.61% or Rs 38.15 from the previous close of Rs 1,460, taking the company\u2019s market capitalisation to Rs 39,522.47 crore. The Large Cap plastic products stock opened at Rs 1,447.6, touched an intraday high of Rs 1,449.5 and slipped to a low of Rs 1,419 in early trade.<\/p>\n<p>For investors searching Astral Share Price Today, the verified data confirms a clear same-day decline, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the move. That is also why Astral Stock News is drawing attention: the price action is meaningful on its own because it comes in a large listed player from the Plastic Products industry, where valuation and profitability comparisons matter.<\/p>\n<p>On Univest, the stock is also notable because the current price is below its 50-day moving average of Rs 1,507.74 and below its 200-day moving average of Rs 1,517.14, while the RSI reading stands at 58.22. Investors tracking Astral Share Price are therefore watching not just today\u2019s decline, but also how the stock is positioned relative to broader trend levels, valuation benchmarks and peer metrics.<\/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

Today reflects a weak start and recovery so far. The stock opened at Rs 1,447.6 against the previous close of Rs 1,460, indicating an immediate gap down, and then traded in a narrow intraday band between Rs 1,449.5 and Rs 1,419. By the latest update, the share was at Rs 1,421.85, a decline of Rs 38.15 or 2.61%.<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s price structure suggests that sellers retained control through the morning session, with the stock staying below both the opening level and the previous close. Turnover stood at Rs 0.35 crore at the time of the reading, which confirms active price discovery without, by itself, explaining the reason for the fall. As a Large Cap name with a market cap of Rs 39,522.47 crore, Astral Share Price carries broader market visibility than many smaller industry names.<\/p>\n<p>For readers following Astral Share News and Astral Share Price Update, the key takeaway is straightforward: the stock has slipped early, remained near the lower end of the session\u2019s range and is now trading below important medium- and long-term trend references. That price backdrop naturally shifts attention to valuation and business quality.<\/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 39,522.47 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;\">68.15x<\/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;\">9.39x<\/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;\">0.27%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Astral Fundamental Analysis shows a business that still commands premium market multiples. At the current price, the stock trades at a P\/E ratio of 68.15 and a P\/B ratio of 9.39. Those are elevated absolute readings and become more relevant because the company\u2019s market capitalisation is Rs 39,522.47 crore, placing it among the larger listed companies in the Plastic Products industry.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability metrics remain respectable. Return on equity stands at 13.94%, while return on capital employed is higher at 19.95%, suggesting the business is generating better returns on total capital than on pure shareholder equity alone. EPS is Rs 21.42, which indicates the earnings attributable to each share. Book value per share is Rs 155.48, showing the accounting net worth behind each share. Dividend yield is 0.27%, which points to a relatively modest historical payout relative to the current stock price.<\/p>\n<p>For investors reading Astral Stock Analysis and Astral Earnings-related searches, the supplied fundamentals present a mixed but important context. The company shows double-digit ROE and stronger ROCE, yet the valuation multiples remain significantly above broad industry central tendencies. On Univest, that combination often keeps a stock in focus even when the immediate catalyst for the day\u2019s fall is not established by the supplied data.<\/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;\">Plastic Products<\/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;\">Plastic Products<\/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;\">68.15x<\/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;\">19.98x<\/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;\">36.74x<\/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;\">0.5x to 510.18x<\/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;\">9.39x<\/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;\">1.66x<\/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;\">3.04x<\/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;\">13.94%<\/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;\">8.21%<\/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;\">7.03%<\/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;\">19.95%<\/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;\">11.31%<\/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;\">12.48%<\/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 39,522.47 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 120.78 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 1,375 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The sector snapshot shows why today\u2019s move is being examined closely. Astral Share Price sits within the Plastic Products industry, and the benchmark scope here is the same industry across 144 companies. That makes the comparison set broad enough to judge valuation and profitability context rather than relying only on one or two peers.<\/p>\n<p>Astral\u2019s P\/E ratio of 68.15 is well above the industry median of 19.98 and also above the industry average of 36.74. Within the benchmark, P\/E observations are available for 119 companies, with a range from 0.5 to 510.18. On price-to-book, Astral\u2019s 9.39 is also above the industry median of 1.66 and average of 3.04, with the broader P\/B range stretching from -7.3 to 137.11 across 144 companies.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability tells a more balanced story. Astral\u2019s ROE of 13.94% is above the industry median of 8.21% and the average of 7.03% across 142 companies. ROCE of 19.95% is also ahead of the industry median of 11.31% and average of 12.48%. In size terms, Astral\u2019s market cap of Rs 39,522.47 crore is far above the industry median of Rs 120.78 crore and average of Rs 1,375 crore, though still below the industry maximum of Rs 44,580.08 crore. That mix helps explain why Astral Share Price continues to attract attention despite today\u2019s decline.<\/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\/supremeind\/supreme-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Supreme Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SUPREMEIND<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">44,580.08<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">43.07<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.97<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">16.13<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/shaily\/shaily-engineering-plastics-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Shaily Engineering Plastics<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SHAILY<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15,846.97<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">87.71<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">20.45<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">27.06<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">29.46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/grwrhitech\/garware-hi-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Garware Hi-Tech Films<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">GRWRHITECH<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15,695.22<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">41.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.76<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.45<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18.08<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/finpipe\/finolex-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Finolex Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">FINPIPE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9,722.87<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.83<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.73<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.73<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/timetechno\/time-technoplast-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Time Technoplast<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">TIMETECHNO<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9,179.15<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18.64<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.17<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.66<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer numbers place Astral in the upper end of the listed Plastic Products space by size, but not at the top. Supreme Industries has a market cap of Rs 44,580.08 crore, slightly ahead of Astral\u2019s Rs 39,522.47 crore, while Shaily Engineering Plastics and Garware Hi-Tech Films are both around Rs 15,000 crore to Rs 16,000 crore. Finolex Industries and Time Technoplast are below Rs 10,000 crore.<\/p>\n<p>On valuation, Astral\u2019s P\/E of 68.15 is higher than Supreme Industries at 43.07, Garware Hi-Tech Films at 41.4, Finolex Industries at 15.83 and Time Technoplast at 18.64, but lower than Shaily Engineering Plastics at 87.71. Its P\/B of 9.39 is above Supreme\u2019s 6.97, Garware\u2019s 5.76, Finolex\u2019s 1.54 and Time Technoplast\u2019s 2.17, but below Shaily\u2019s 20.45.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability is competitive, though not category-leading. Astral\u2019s ROE of 13.94% is slightly above Garware\u2019s 13.45%, Finolex\u2019s 9.73% and Time Technoplast\u2019s 13.66%, but below Supreme\u2019s 16.13% and Shaily\u2019s 27.06%. Its ROCE of 19.95% also sits below Supreme\u2019s 21.49% and Shaily\u2019s 29.46%, but above Garware\u2019s 18.08%, Finolex\u2019s 12.73% and Time Technoplast\u2019s 17.37%. In other words, Astral Share Price is still priced at a premium to several peers, while its return ratios remain solid rather than dominant.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_Astral\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching Astral<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The stock is down 2.61% today at Rs 1,421.85 after closing at Rs 1,460 previously.<\/li>\n<li>It opened at Rs 1,447.6, hit Rs 1,449.5 and slipped to Rs 1,419, keeping trade near the session low.<\/li>\n<li>Valuation remains rich at 68.15 times earnings and 9.39 times book value.<\/li>\n<li>Profitability stays ahead of industry medians, with ROE at 13.94% and ROCE at 19.95%.<\/li>\n<li>The company\u2019s Rs 39,522.47 crore market cap keeps it central to sector and peer tracking on Univest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Astral\"><\/span><strong>About Astral<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Astral is classified in the Plastic Products sector and industry.
