The stock stayed below the previous close throughout the day, with the high of Rs 2,438.10 also remaining under Rs 2,453.15. The day low of Rs 2,400.50 shows that the share traded close to the lower end of the day\u2019s range before finishing near that zone. The turnover of Rs 1.74 crore is a factual traded-value figure and should be read as such. In market-cap terms, the company remains a large, widely tracked business, so the price fall happened in a stock that has substantial visibility in the market.<\/p>\n<p>From a short-term market update perspective, the move was contained between Rs 2,400.50 and Rs 2,438.10. The supplied data does not show a verified event trigger, so the most accurate reading is that Asian Paints Share Price Today declined on the session and ended close to the intraday low. For readers following stock news, that makes today\u2019s move a straightforward price-action update rather than a cause-led story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asian_Paints_ASIANPAINT_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Asian Paints (ASIANPAINT) 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 2,34,466.31 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;\">49.38x<\/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;\">10.31x<\/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;\">21.62%<\/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;\">28.22%<\/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 49.68<\/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 237.98<\/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;\">1.12%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The company has a market capitalisation of Rs 2,34,466.The P\/E ratio is 49.38 and the P\/B ratio is 10.31, both materially above the industry benchmark medians shown later in this article.

On profitability, ROE of 21.62% is above the benchmark median of 14.75%, while ROCE of 28.22% is above the median of 19.33% and slightly above the benchmark average of 28.02%.<\/p>\n<p>This sector view shows why the company remains a closely watched large-name stock in Paints coverage. The benchmark market-cap median is Rs 9,858.09 crore, while Asian Paints at Rs 2,34,466.31 crore is the largest company in the supplied industry set. That scale, together with premium valuation and solid return ratios, is the main backdrop for today&#8217;s price fall.<\/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\/bergepaint\/berger-paints-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Berger Paints India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">BERGEPAINT<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">52,773.29<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">44.04<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.34<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.28<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/kansainer\/kansai-nerolac-paints-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Kansai Nerolac Paints<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">KANSAINER<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14,659.12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">24.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.13<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.78<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/jswdulux\/akzo-nobel-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Akzo Nobel India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">JSWDULUX<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">14,283.49<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">7.33<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">104.45<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">125.82<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/indigopnts\/indigo-paints-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Indigo Paints<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">INDIGOPNTS<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5,432.69<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">33.83<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.72<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">18.37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sirca\/sirca-paints-india-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>SIRCA Paints India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SIRCA<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2,295.85<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">35.16<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.8<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">15.77<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">20.28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Comparison with peers makes the update more useful. Berger Paints India has a P\/E of 44.04, P\/B of 7.34, ROE of 17.28% and ROCE of 23.14%, with market cap of Rs 52,773.29 crore.
