Market cap was Rs 1,483.68 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Kothari Industrial Share Price fell to Rs 140.85 on 11 September 2026, down 8.39% for the day, leaving the Small Cap company with a market capitalisation of Rs 1,483.68 crore. The stock has become part of today\u2019s market conversation because the decline was sharp, the intraday range stayed weak after the open, and the latest verified data also points to stretched valuation on price-to-book and negative return ratios.<\/p>\n<p>For investors searching Kothari Industrial Share Price Today or Kothari Industrial Stock News, the immediate takeaway is simple: the supplied data confirms a steep same-day decline from the previous close of Rs 153.75, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the move. That means the attention is being driven by price action rather than a verified corporate trigger in the data set.<\/p>\n<p>What should investors monitor next? The current price versus the 50-day moving average of Rs 144.35, the much wider gap to the 200-day moving average of Rs 168.88, the company\u2019s P\/B ratio of 7.08, and return metrics such as ROE of -22.29% and ROCE of -16.89%. As Univest tracks, the stock is also drawing attention because its fundamentals look weaker than many diversified peers on profitability.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65

close of Rs 153.75 and then sliding to an intraday low of Rs 138.15. The day\u2019s high was also Rs 150.85, which means the stock failed to move above its opening level and remained under pressure through the session. By the latest update, the stock was down Rs 12.90, or 8.39%, at Rs 140.85.<\/p>\n<p>The intraday pattern matters because it shows that the session\u2019s best level came right at the open, while the closing-side reference in the supplied data sits much closer to the day low than the day high. Turnover stood at Rs 0.20 crore, which confirms that the price move attracted measurable trading interest even though the available data does not identify a specific company event. In Small Cap names, such sharp single-day moves often draw extra investor attention because price discovery can shift quickly when sentiment changes. On Univest, this Kothari Industrial Share Price Update stands out as a price-led event that now needs to be assessed alongside valuation and financial quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kothari_Industrial_Corporation_KOTIC_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Kothari Industrial Corporation (KOTIC) 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 1,483.68 crore<\/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;\">7.08x<\/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;\">-22.29%<\/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;\">-16.89%<\/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 -3<\/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 21.7<\/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%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Kothari Industrial Fundamental Analysis gives important context to today\u2019s decline. With a market capitalisation of Rs 1,483.68 crore, the company sits in the Small Cap bracket, which describes size rather than business quality. The more revealing numbers are on valuation and returns. The stock trades at a P\/B ratio of 7.08, while book value per share is Rs 21.7. That means the market price remains substantially above the accounting net worth represented by each share.<\/p>\n<p>Earnings and return ratios are also noteworthy. EPS stands at -3, indicating a loss on a per-share basis in the supplied data. ROE is -22.29%, which shows negative return on shareholder equity, while ROCE is -16.89%, pointing to weak capital efficiency as well. Dividend yield is 0, so the current data does not indicate any historical payout support relative to the market price.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, these figures explain why Kothari Industrial Share Price and Kothari Industrial Share News are drawing scrutiny beyond today\u2019s fall alone. A relatively high price-to-book multiple, negative EPS, and negative profitability ratios can make investors look more closely at whether valuation and financial performance are aligned. On Univest, that naturally shifts the analysis toward sector and peer positioning.<\/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;\">Diversified<\/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;\">Diversified<\/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>Benchmark Median P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">19.22x<\/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;\">45.53x<\/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;\">10.66x to 302.76x<\/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;\">7.08x<\/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;\">1.49x<\/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;\">4.28x<\/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;\">-22.29%<\/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;\">7.53%<\/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;\">4.52%<\/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;\">-16.89%<\/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;\">8.13%<\/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;\">7.62%<\/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 1,483.68 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 208.18 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 16,262.87 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The diversified sector snapshot shows that Kothari Industrial is being assessed against 18 companies in the same industry, and that benchmark helps frame whether today\u2019s move sits against demanding or moderate sector valuations. For the industry group, the median P\/E is 19.22, the average P\/E is 45.53, and the overall range runs from 10.66 to 302.76 across 13 companies with available P\/E data.<\/p>\n<p>For price-to-book, where the company\u2019s own data is available, Kothari Industrial stands at 7.08. That is well above the diversified industry median P\/B of 1.49 and also above the average P\/B of 4.28. The benchmark range runs from -0.07 to 28.44 across 18 companies, so the stock is not at the top end of the range, but it is clearly trading richer than the industry midpoint on this measure.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability comparisons are more challenging for the company. Kothari Industrial\u2019s ROE of -22.29% is far below the sector median of 7.53% and the average of 4.52. Its ROCE of -16.89% is also below the median of 8.13% and average of 7.62. By market capitalisation, the company\u2019s Rs 1,483.68 crore is above the industry median of Rs 208.18 crore but below the average of Rs 16,262.87 crore, reflecting the skew created by much larger names in the basket. This is why Univest views the stock\u2019s sector context as mixed on size but weak on returns and premium on P\/B.<\/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\/grasim\/grasim-industries-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Grasim Industries<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">GRASIM<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,25,081.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">39.67<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.32<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.72<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/3mindia\/3m-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>3M India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">3MINDIA<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37,218.44<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">63.88<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18.44<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">28.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">51.87<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/dcmshriram\/dcm-shriram-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>DCM Shriram<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">DCMSHRIRAM<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15,549.01<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.97<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.87<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.63<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.72<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hndfds\/hindustan-foods-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Hindustan Foods<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HNDFDS<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7,426.67<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">48.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.24<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14.15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/balmlawrie\/balmer-lawrie-and-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Balmer Lawrie &amp; Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">BALMLAWRIE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">3,001.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.66<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.03<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer comparison sharpens that picture. Among the supplied diversified peers, Kothari Industrial\u2019s market capitalisation of Rs 1,483.68 crore is much smaller than Grasim Industries at Rs 2,25,081.61 crore, 3M India at Rs 37,218.44 crore, DCM Shriram at Rs 15,549.01 crore and Hindustan Foods at Rs 7,426.67 crore, but closer to Balmer Lawrie at Rs 3,001.12 crore.<\/p>\n<p>Valuation and returns also stand out. Kothari Industrial\u2019s P\/B of 7.08 is higher than Grasim\u2019s 2.12, DCM Shriram\u2019s 1.87 and Balmer Lawrie\u2019s 1.40, and even above Hindustan Foods at 6.24, though below 3M India\u2019s 18.44. On profitability, the contrast is sharper: Kothari Industrial\u2019s ROE of -22.29% and ROCE of -16.89% are below all five listed peers in the supplied set. Those peers show positive ROE figures from 10.03% to 28.90% and positive ROCE figures from 9.72% to 51.87%.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of a supplied company P\/E means the cleanest relative comparison is through P\/B and return ratios, and on that basis Kothari Industrial looks expensive relative to several peers while also generating weaker profitability. That combination helps explain why Kothari Industrial Stock Analysis is attracting attention after today\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Investors_Are_Watching_Kothari_Industrial\"><\/span><strong>Why Investors Are Watching Kothari Industrial<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The stock fell 8.39% in a single session to Rs 140.85 from the previous close of Rs 153.75.<\/li>\n<li>The day\u2019s high matched the open at Rs 150.85, while the low extended to Rs 138.15, showing a weak intraday structure.<\/li>\n<li>The current price is below the 50-day moving average of Rs 144.35 and well below the 200-day moving average of Rs 168.88.<\/li>\n<li>Fundamental ratios show stress, with EPS at -3, ROE at -22.29%, ROCE at -16.89% and dividend yield at 0.<\/li>\n<li>Sector and peer data show a P\/B ratio of 7.08, above the industry median of 1.49 and higher than several diversified peers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Kothari_Industrial\"><\/span><strong>About Kothari Industrial<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kothari Industrial Corporation is classified in the diversified sector and diversified industry in the supplied market data.
