The stock was lower by Rs 17.65 from the previous close of Rs 680.60, while the company\u2019s market capitalisation stood at Rs 33,183.32 crore. HSCL is classified as a Large Cap company in the Chemicals sector and Carbon Black industry.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied data confirms the decline but does not identify any company-specific trigger behind it. That means today\u2019s market focus is on verified trading data, valuation measures and peer positioning rather than on a confirmed corporate development. For readers tracking Himadri Speciality Chemical Share Price Today, the key numbers include P\/E of 42.97, P\/B of 6.96, ROE of 18.10%, ROCE of 22.42%, EPS of Rs 15.84 and book value of Rs 97.80.<\/p>\n<p>The stock also traded near its intraday low. It opened at Rs 674.35, touched a high of Rs 683.80, slipped to Rs 662.00 and was last recorded at Rs 662.95. Turnover for the session was Rs 14.82 crore. With the stock now below its 50-day moving average of Rs 732.21 but above its 200-day moving average of Rs 587.21, the setup points to short-term pressure within a still-higher long-term band.<\/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

session low. That sequence shows that early support did not hold through the trading window captured in the data.<\/p>\n<p>The price structure also matters. The day\u2019s low of Rs 662.00 sits very close to the latest traded price of Rs 662.95, which suggests the stock had not staged a meaningful rebound at the time of the reading. For traders and investors alike, that is a sign that selling pressure remained visible into the latter part of the session snapshot.<\/p>\n<p>Technical reference points add more context. The current price is below the 50-DMA of Rs 732.21, which indicates weakness relative to the stock\u2019s recent medium-term average. However, it remains above the 200-DMA of Rs 587.21, so the longer-term trend base is still intact in simple moving-average terms. RSI stands at 33.72, a level many market participants monitor when gauging near-term momentum conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Himadri_Speciality_Chemical_HSCL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Himadri Speciality Chemical (HSCL) 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 33,183.32 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;\">42.97x<\/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;\">6.96x<\/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;\">18.1%<\/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;\">22.42%<\/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 15.84<\/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 97.8<\/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;\">0.12%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Fundamentally, HSCL stands out for scale and returns. With a market value of Rs 33,183.32 crore, it is the largest company in the supplied same-industry dataset. That size gives it a very different profile from much smaller listed peers in the Carbon Black segment.<\/p>\n<p>On valuation, the stock trades at 42.97 times earnings and 6.96 times book value. Those two ratios point in different directions when compared with peers. The P\/E is not aggressive relative to the supplied industry set, but the P\/B is clearly elevated versus the benchmark averages. This matters because the market may be assigning a premium to the business based on profitability, scale or balance-sheet expectations reflected in book-value multiples.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability ratios are notably stronger than several peers. ROE of 18.10% indicates the company is generating better returns on shareholder equity than the industry median of 9.47%. ROCE of 22.42% is also materially ahead of the industry median of 10.21%. EPS of Rs 15.84 and book value of Rs 97.80 provide the underlying per-share base behind those valuation ratios. Dividend yield is 0.12%, which suggests the stock is not presently characterised by a high-cash-yield profile.<\/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;\">Chemicals<\/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;\">Carbon Black<\/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;\">42.97x<\/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;\">48.25x<\/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;\">61.66x<\/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;\">42.97x to 93.75x<\/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;\">6.96x<\/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;\">3.35x<\/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;\">3.94x<\/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;\">18.1%<\/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;\">9.47%<\/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;\">3.02%<\/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;\">22.42%<\/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;\">10.21%<\/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;\">9.59%<\/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 33,183.32 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 6,406.3 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 11,578.6 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The sector snapshot covers four companies in the same industry. Within that sample, HSCL\u2019s P\/E of 42.97 is below the median of 48.25 and the average of 61.66. It also sits at the minimum of the supplied P\/E range. In that sense, the earnings multiple is comparatively restrained within its peer basket.<\/p>\n<p>The book-value comparison tells a different story. The industry median P\/B is 3.35 and the average is 3.94, while HSCL stands at 6.96, which is also the maximum in the benchmark set.
