Market cap was Rs 26,543 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">CDSL Share Price is lower today, with Central Depository Services (India) trading at Rs 1,241.30 after a 2.26% decline and a market capitalisation of Rs 26,543 crore. According to latest Univest figures, the move is relevant because it comes from a high-value large cap in Depository Services, a segment where valuation, profitability and relative scale are watched closely. CDSL Share Price today has moved within a narrow intraday band, and the stock\u2019s latest session is drawing attention because the price event is confirmed, but no company-specific catalyst is established. In this CDSL Share Price news note, Univest data points to a clean price fall, while the fundamental and sector backdrop help explain why the stock remains an active part of stock market today discussions.<\/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

According to latest Univest data, additional metrics include EPS of Rs 22.55, book value per share of Rs 99.39, dividend yield of 1%, 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 41.25x, median ROE of 23.57%, median ROCE of 31.73%.

CDSL supports the depository ecosystem, which makes its business tied to market infrastructure rather than manufacturing or consumer demand.

The company\u2019s current profile, together with its listed ratios, makes CDSL Share Price a useful reference point for investors comparing market infrastructure names. In CDSL Stock News coverage, the business model is usually judged by profitability, valuation and sector positioning rather than by broad cyclicals. That is why CDSL Share Price today is best read through its market cap, P\/E, P\/B, ROE and ROCE rather than through headline sentiment alone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_CDSL_Share_Price_on_Univest\"><\/span><strong>Track CDSL Share Price on Univest<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/cdsl\/central-depository-services-(india)-ltd-share-price-today\">Central Depository Services (India) (CDSL) live share-price page<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\/top-decliners\">Univest top decliners screener<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\">Univest market blogs<\/a> to review live stock data, top decliners and related market analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Track CDSL Share Price on Univest for live share price updates, fundamental ratios, 52-week levels and market insights in one place.
