Market cap was Rs 29,571.41 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">CDSL Share Price fell to Rs 1,368.70 on 09 September 2026 at 11:22:47 AM IST, down 2.24% for the day, taking the large-cap company\u2019s market capitalisation to Rs 29,571.41 crore. The stock is drawing attention because today\u2019s decline came after a weaker intraday move from the open, while the available data also shows a premium valuation against its depository-services benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>For investors tracking CDSL Share Price Today, the verified data confirms the price fall but does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the move. That is why the stock is trending more for its market action, valuation and sector positioning than for any confirmed news trigger in the supplied dataset. The key numbers in focus are a P\/E ratio of 62.09, P\/B ratio of 14.09, ROE of 24.47, ROCE of 32.75, EPS of 22.55, book value of 99.39 and dividend yield of 0.91. On Univest, these figures matter because they help separate a routine share price decline from a broader stock analysis question around valuation, profitability and peer positioning.<\/p>\n<div

The stock opened at Rs 1,393 against the previous close of Rs 1,400, which immediately placed it below the prior session\u2019s reference level. It then touched a day high of Rs 1,393, meaning the opening print also marked the session high in the supplied data, before slipping to a day low of Rs 1,360. The stock was last at Rs 1,368.70, down Rs 31.30 or 2.24%.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern suggests that the market did not reclaim the opening level during the observed session, and that keeps today\u2019s price action on the weaker side. Turnover stood at Rs 104.69 crore, showing that the move was meaningful enough to attract attention in a large-cap name within the Business Services space. For anyone searching CDSL Share Price Live or CDSL Share Price Update, the main takeaway is straightforward: the stock remained under pressure through the day, and the supplied data confirms the event even though it does not identify a specific company news catalyst. That makes valuation and industry context especially important in interpreting the move on Univest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Central_Depository_Services_India_CDSL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Central Depository Services (India) (CDSL) 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 29,571.41 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;\">62.09x<\/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;\">14.09x<\/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;\">24.47%<\/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;\">32.75%<\/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 22.55<\/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 99.39<\/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;\">0.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>CDSL Fundamental Analysis shows a company with strong profitability metrics, but also a valuation that sits at the upper end of its immediate industry set. CDSL Market Cap stands at Rs 29,571.41 crore, which places it above the same-industry benchmark average market capitalisation of Rs 20,050.47 crore, the median of Rs 17,332.86 crore, the minimum of Rs 15,964.74 crore and equal to the benchmark maximum of Rs 29,571.41 crore. That size context helps explain why the stock gets close market attention.<\/p>\n<p>On valuation, the stock trades at a P\/E ratio of 62.09 and a P\/B ratio of 14.09. Both are above the same-industry averages of 46.85 and 10.72, and also above the medians of 44.31 and 11.11. In fact, CDSL sits at the maximum P\/E and maximum P\/B within the four-company benchmark set. Profitability is solid, with ROE at 24.47 and ROCE at 32.75. Those are slightly above the benchmark medians of 23.57 and 31.73, but below the averages of 26.18 and 34.74. EPS is 22.55, which represents earnings attributable to each share.

That matters because CDSL Stock News today is not just about a one-day decline; it is also about how the stock is valued against a small, directly comparable peer group.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark shows the industry P\/E range running from 36.69 to 62.09 across four companies, with a median of 44.31 and an average of 46.85. CDSL, at 62.09, is at the top of that range. The P\/B range runs from 6.60 to 14.09, with a median of 11.11 and an average of 10.72, and here too CDSL sits at the top end. On returns, the benchmark ROE median is 23.57 and average is 26.18, while the ROCE median is 31.73 and average is 34.74. CDSL\u2019s ROE of 24.47 is marginally above the median but below the average; its ROCE of 32.75 is also above the median but below the average.<\/p>\n<p>So, sector analysis presents a balanced picture. The company is larger than its benchmark median and average by market capitalisation, and its return ratios remain healthy. However, its valuation multiples are richer than both median and average industry levels. That is a useful lens for readers following CDSL Share Price Fall or broader market movers on Univest.<\/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\/cams\/computer-age-management-services-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Computer Age Management Services<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">CAMS<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18,381.72<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">36.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.93<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">40.21<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">52.08<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/nsdl\/national-securities-depository-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>National Securities Depository<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">NSDL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">16,284<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">41.91<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.38<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/kfintech\/kfin-technologies-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>KFin Technologies<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">KFINTECH<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15,964.74<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">46.72<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.28<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">22.67<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">30.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer comparison shows why the stock remains closely tracked even on a day of weakness.
