Market cap was Rs 23,434.19 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Chennai Petroleum Corporation Share Price fell to Rs 1,500 on 15 September 2026, down 4.68% for the day. The stock was lower by Rs 73.7 versus the previous close of Rs 1,573.7, while the company\u2019s market capitalisation stood at Rs 23,434.19 crore. The move puts the refinery stock in focus for traders and investors tracking sharp single-session declines.<\/p>\n<p>For readers following Chennai Petroleum Corporation Share Price Today, the supplied data confirms the price move but does not identify any company-specific trigger. The stock opened at Rs 1,578.4, touched an intraday high of Rs 1,595, and fell to a low of Rs 1,495. Turnover stood at Rs 12.09 crore, showing active trading through the session.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate takeaway is straightforward: price action weakened across the day after an early attempt to hold above the previous close. From here, market participants are likely to watch whether the stock stabilises near recent levels, and how today\u2019s decline compares with the company\u2019s valuation and profitability profile against other listed refinery names.<\/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

Although the stock opened at Rs 1,578.4 and moved up to Rs 1,595, that strength faded as the session progressed. The eventual move down to Rs 1,495 before trading around Rs 1,500 indicates that sellers had the upper hand for much of the day.<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s trading range of Rs 100 between high and low is notable on its own. More important, however, is the shift from an early level above the previous close to a close-in-trade below it by Rs 73.7. That sequence often draws attention because it signals intraday sentiment turned weaker rather than improving into the session.<\/p>\n<p>At Rs 23,434.19 crore in market capitalisation, Chennai Petroleum remains a meaningful listed refinery player. Since no specific cause is provided in the dataset, the clean approach is to read the move through price behaviour first, and then examine whether fundamentals and sector comparisons offer additional context.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chennai_Petroleum_Corporation_CHENNPETRO_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Chennai Petroleum Corporation (CHENNPETRO) 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 23,434.19 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;\">5.61x<\/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;\">1.93x<\/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;\">32.13%<\/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;\">35.15%<\/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 280.3<\/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 814.3<\/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;\">3.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Even after today\u2019s decline, the company\u2019s core valuation and return metrics remain a major part of the discussion. The stock trades at a P\/E of 5.61 and a P\/B of 1.93. EPS is Rs 280.3, book value is Rs 814.3 per share, and dividend yield is 3.94% based on the supplied figures.<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers describe a stock with a low earnings multiple but a valuation above book value. That mix matters because investors often read it as a sign that the market is assigning value to profitability quality, not just to asset backing. In other words, the market is not pricing the company as a distressed low-multiple outlier on book value terms alone.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability is where the data becomes more striking. ROE stands at 32.13% and ROCE at 35.15%, both strong by conventional comparison. For market participants reviewing Chennai Petroleum Corporation Share Price after a weak session, these figures suggest the story is not to one day\u2019s trading move. The stock\u2019s fundamental profile remains part of the reason it stays on investor watchlists.<\/p>\n<p>One more reference point is the technical backdrop from the supplied dataset: RSI is 56.01, while the 50-day DMA is 1,392.88 and the 200-day DMA is 1,118.9. With the stock at Rs 1,500, the current price is above both moving averages. That does not remove the significance of today\u2019s fall, but it does provide additional context around the broader trend levels being watched.<\/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;\">5.61x<\/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;\">9.82x<\/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;\">16.77x<\/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;\">5.61x to 44.69x<\/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;\">1.93x<\/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;\">1.4x<\/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;\">1.48x<\/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;\">32.13%<\/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;\">35.15%<\/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 23,434.19 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 74,686.57 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 3,07,787.23 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The company operates in the Crude Oil sector within the Refineries industry, and the benchmark set covers seven same-industry companies. On valuation, Chennai Petroleum\u2019s P\/E of 5.61 is below the industry median of 9.82 and average of 16.77. It is also the lowest P\/E in the range provided, which runs from 5.61 to 44.69.<\/p>\n<p>That suggests the stock is priced cheaply relative to peers on earnings multiple terms. But the comparison changes on price-to-book. Chennai Petroleum\u2019s P\/B of 1.93 is above the industry median of 1.4 and average of 1.48, placing it closer to the top end of the peer range of 0.88 to 2.04.<\/p>\n<p>Profitability helps explain that gap. The company\u2019s ROE of 32.13% is above the peer median of 21.52% and average of 22.08%, while ROCE of 35.15% is above the peer median of 21.26% and average of 22.37%. In market-cap terms, Chennai Petroleum at Rs 23,434.19 crore is below both the industry median and average, which reflects the presence of much larger listed energy names in the group.<\/p>\n<p>Put together, the sector snapshot shows an unusual combination: one of the lowest P\/E ratios in the industry, a relatively elevated P\/B ratio, and profitability metrics that exceed benchmark medians and averages. That combination is a key reason today\u2019s decline is being watched closely.<\/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;\">17,02,393.37<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">22.78<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.84<\/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;\">1,90,989.75<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.68<\/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;\">1,32,107.49<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.71<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.35<\/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\/hindpetro\/hindustan-petroleum-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HINDPETRO<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">74,686.57<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">44.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.4<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">30.93<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.1<\/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;\">30,828.21<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.82<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.04<\/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<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer data reinforces the same pattern.
