Market cap was Rs 75,963.26 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price fell to Rs 346.5 on 08 September 2026, down 2.85% for the day from the previous close of Rs 356.65. The move took the company\u2019s market capitalisation to Rs 75,963.26 crore. Intraday data shows the stock opened at Rs 355.95, which was also the day\u2019s high, and later touched a low of Rs 346.3.<\/p>\n<p>For investors tracking the stock, the supplied data confirms the decline but does not identify a company-specific trigger. That makes the available numbers more important than speculation. The stock is classified as Large Cap, turnover stood at Rs 2.6 crore, RSI was 33.98, and the price remained below both the 50-day moving average of Rs 374.17 and the 200-day moving average of Rs 396.25.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the price move, the fundamental picture is mixed. The company carries a P\/E ratio of 45.41 and a P\/B ratio of 1.42, while ROE stands at 30.93% and ROCE at 23.1%. EPS is Rs 7.85, book value is Rs 250.31, and dividend yield is 6.8%. In other words, today\u2019s discussion is not only about a falling stock price but also about how valuation and profitability compare within the listed refinery space.<\/p>\n<div

The stock opened at Rs 355.95, never moved above that level, and slipped to Rs 346.3 before trading at Rs 346.5. Against the previous close of Rs 356.65, that amounts to a decline of Rs 10.15 or 2.85%.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the day high matched the opening price suggests selling pressure persisted through the session covered by the data. The last traded price staying close to the day low reinforces that reading. Turnover of Rs 2.6 crore confirms market activity, but the figures supplied for this update do not establish a direct reason behind the move.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical context, RSI at 33.98 places the stock near the lower end of momentum readings, while the current price sits below the 50-DMA of Rs 374.17 and the 200-DMA of Rs 396.25. Those data points do not forecast what comes next, but they do show that the stock is trading below two widely followed trend markers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hindustan_Petroleum_Corporation_HINDPETRO_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HINDPETRO) 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 75,963.26 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;\">45.41x<\/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;\">1.42x<\/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;\">30.93%<\/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;\">23.1%<\/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 7.85<\/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 250.31<\/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;\">6.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The company\u2019s fundamentals show strong return ratios alongside a demanding earnings multiple. A P\/E of 45.41 is elevated for a refinery business in the current peer set, while the P\/B of 1.42 is far less stretched. EPS of Rs 7.85 and book value of Rs 250.31 provide per-share context, with the market price still above book value.<\/p>\n<p>ROE at 30.93% and ROCE at 23.1% indicate strong profitability on the supplied data. Dividend yield of 6.8% also stands out because it shows a relatively high yield against the current stock price. That combination explains why today\u2019s weakness does not translate into a simple fundamental conclusion. Profitability looks solid, but valuation remains a key point of debate.<\/p>\n<p>For readers assessing Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price through fundamentals alone, the main takeaway is balance rather than certainty: the business metrics appear healthy in several areas, yet the earnings multiple remains far above many sector peers.<\/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;\">Crude Oil<\/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;\">Refineries<\/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;\">45.41x<\/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;\">9.66x<\/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;\">16.93x<\/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;\">5.1x to 45.41x<\/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;\">1.42x<\/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;\">1.42x<\/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;\">1.46x<\/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;\">30.93%<\/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;\">21.52%<\/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;\">22.08%<\/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;\">23.1%<\/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;\">21.26%<\/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;\">22.37%<\/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 75,963.26 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 75,963.26 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 3,21,165.56 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The company operates in the Crude Oil sector under the Refineries industry, and the benchmark set covers seven same-industry companies. Within that group, the valuation contrast is sharp. HPCL\u2019s P\/E of 45.41 is well above the median P\/E of 9.66 and the average of 16.93, while also matching the top end of the benchmark range.<\/p>\n<p>P\/B tells a different story. At 1.42, the company is exactly at the benchmark median and slightly below the 1.46 average. Profitability is stronger than the sector medians: ROE of 30.93% is above the 21.52% median and 22.08% average, while ROCE of 23.1% is above the 21.26% median and 22.37% average.<\/p>\n<p>Market-cap context is also useful. The company\u2019s Rs 75,963.26 crore market value matches the benchmark median, though it sits below the average because very large players skew the industry mean upward. This is why the stock remains interesting in sector analysis: strong returns, median size within the peer set, but a P\/E that stands at the highest end of the group.<\/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\/reliance\/reliance-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Reliance Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">RELIANCE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17,89,001.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.71<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.91<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.95<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/ioc\/indian-oil-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Indian Oil Corporation<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">IOC<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,93,884.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0.88<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21.52<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">19.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bpcl\/bharat-petroleum-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Bharat Petroleum Corporation<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">BPCL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,36,966.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.38<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">28.47<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">27.09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/mrpl\/mangalore-refinery-and-petrochemicals-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Mangalore Refinery And Petrochemicals<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">MRPL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">30,652.95<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.66<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.01<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.17<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18.13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/chennpetro\/chennai-petroleum-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Chennai Petroleum Corporation<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">CHENNPETRO<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">21,618.96<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.1<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.76<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">32.13<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">35.15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer data shows why valuation is central to the discussion. Compared with Reliance Industries, HPCL is much smaller in market cap at Rs 75,963.26 crore versus Rs 17,89,001.62 crore, but it shows higher ROE and ROCE than Reliance\u2019s 10.95% and 12.17%. Yet Reliance still trades at a lower P\/E of 23.71.<\/p>\n<p>Against Indian Oil Corporation, the company has higher ROE and ROCE than IOC\u2019s 21.52% and 19.69%, but IOC\u2019s P\/E is only 5.69. BPCL offers a closer comparison on business profile: its P\/B of 1.38 is close to HPCL\u2019s 1.42, its ROCE of 27.09% is higher, and its P\/E is far lower at 7.9.<\/p>\n<p>MRPL trades at a P\/E of 9.66 with weaker return ratios than HPCL, while Chennai Petroleum has the strongest ROE and ROCE in this set at 32.13% and 35.15% but a P\/E of just 5.1. Put simply, the company does not look weak on profitability versus peers; it looks expensive on earnings multiple versus most of them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_the_Stock\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching the Stock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price fell 2.85% to Rs 346.5 and remained close to the day low of Rs 346.3.<\/li>\n<li>The stock opened at Rs 355.95, and that level also marked the day\u2019s high.<\/li>\n<li>RSI stood at 33.98, while the price stayed below both the 50-DMA and 200-DMA.<\/li>\n<li>P\/E at 45.41 is above the same-industry median of 9.66 and average of 16.93.<\/li>\n<li>ROE of 30.93% and ROCE of 23.1% remain above industry medians.<\/li>\n<li>Market capitalisation of Rs 75,963.26 crore places the company at the benchmark median within its seven-company industry set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Hindustan_Petroleum_Corporation\"><\/span><strong>About Hindustan Petroleum Corporation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation operates in the Crude Oil sector and the Refineries industry.
