The move places NIACL Share Price Today among the day\u2019s notable insurance-sector decliners, even though the supplied data does not establish a company-specific catalyst. In NIACL Stock News terms, the session was defined by a lower close than the prior day, a wider intraday range, and a finish near the lower end of the day\u2019s band. For readers tracking NIACL Share Price news on Univest, the key question is not only what changed in the session, but how the current valuation, profitability, and sector comparison frame today\u2019s share price fall. The numbers also help separate a one-day move from the broader NIACL Stock Performance picture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

That compares with the previous close of Rs 176.75, showing a day change of Rs -4.70 and a dayChangePercent of -2.66%. The session therefore reflected a clear share price fall in relation to the prior close, but the supplied data does not establish a company-specific reason for the move. Turnover stood at Rs 1.49 crore, which is the only turnover figure available for the session and should be read as a factual traded-value metric, not as an explanation. With marketCapCategory supplied as Large Cap, NIACL Share Price Today sits within that company-size context. For investors following NIACL Stock News, this makes today\u2019s decline a price-action event that should be read alongside fundamentals and sector comparison rather than in isolation. Univest tracks this kind of NIACL Share Price update to help readers see the full session context.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_New_India_Assurance_Company_NIACL_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>The New India Assurance Company (NIACL) 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 29,128.4 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;\">37.86x<\/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;\">1.19x<\/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;\">5.95%<\/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;\">5.44%<\/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 4.67<\/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 148.26<\/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;\">0.85%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>NIACL\u2019s market capitalisation is Rs 29,128.40 crore, and the company\u2019s PE ratio is 37.86. Its PB ratio stands at 1.19, which places the stock at a lower book multiple than many insurance peers in the supplied benchmark set. EPS is Rs 4.67, which shows earnings attributable to each share, while book value is Rs 148.26 per share, indicating the accounting net worth behind each share. Dividend yield is 0.85%, a historical\/current payout measure rather than a guarantee of future distribution. ROE is 5.95% and ROCE is 5.44%, both below the supplied sector benchmark medians, which adds context to the current NIACL Share Price level. In simple terms, the NIACL Fundamental Analysis data shows a business with modest profitability metrics against a valuation that is not low on PE, though its PB is restrained. That mix helps explain why NIACL Share Price news is closely watched on Univest alongside financial results and company quality metrics.<\/p>\n<p>For readers looking at NIACL Stock Analysis, the relevant question is how the current price aligns with these numbers. The answer is that today\u2019s NIACL Share Price fall came without a verified catalyst, so the session is best understood through valuation and return ratios rather than a single event trigger. The current NIACL Share Price Today context therefore combines a lower daily close with mid-single-digit returns on equity and capital employed.<\/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;\">Insurance<\/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;\">Insurance<\/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;\">37.86x<\/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;\">39.33x<\/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;\">44.63x<\/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;\">6.67x to 109.08x<\/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;\">1.19x<\/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;\">4.57x<\/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;\">4.51x<\/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;\">5.95%<\/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;\">12.62%<\/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;\">13.63%<\/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;\">5.44%<\/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;\">11.82%<\/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;\">14.6%<\/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 29,128.4 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 59,193.46 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 1,02,339.41 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The Insurance sector benchmark in the supplied data covers the same industry with 11 companies. NIACL\u2019s PE of 37.86 sits below the benchmark PE median of 39.33 and below the benchmark PE average of 44.63, while also sitting well above the minimum of 6.67 and below the maximum of 109.08. On PB, NIACL\u2019s 1.19 is far below the benchmark PB median of 4.57 and below the PB average of 4.51, based on 11 companies. That contrast matters because NIACL Share Price Today is being assessed against a sector where book multiples vary widely. The company\u2019s ROE of 5.95% is below the benchmark ROE median of 12.62% and below the benchmark ROE average of 13.63%, while ROCE at 5.44% is also below the benchmark ROCE median of 11.82% and average of 14.6%. The benchmark market-cap set ranges from Rs 14,312.55 crore to Rs 5,17,131.81 crore, with a median of Rs 59,193.46 crore and an average of Rs 1,02,339.41 crore. Against that backdrop, NIACL Share Price sits within a Large Cap profile but below the benchmark median market capitalisation. Univest uses this NIACL Share Price comparison to place today\u2019s move in sector context rather than reading it as a standalone event.<\/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\/lici\/life-insurance-corporation-of-india-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Life Insurance Corporation of India<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">LICI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5,17,131.81<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.61<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">2.65<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sbilife\/sbi-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>SBI Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">SBILIFE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,75,365.1<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">67.42<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.72<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">13.77<\/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\/hdfclife\/hdfc-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>HDFC Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">HDFCLIFE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,15,255.85<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">58.35<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5.89<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.54<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">10.01<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicigi\/icici-lombard-general-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ICICIGI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">77,640.14<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">31.98<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.57<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">17.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">23.62<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicipruli\/icici-prudential-life-insurance-company-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">ICICIPRULI<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">67,046.85<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.62<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">11.82<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Among the supplied peers, NIACL\u2019s PE of 37.86 is higher than LICI at 8.61 and GICRE at 6.67, but lower than SBI Life at 67.42, HDFC Life at 58.35 and Go Digit at 47.71.
