The session began at Rs 349.65, stayed below that level through the day, and reached an intraday high of Rs 349.8 before slipping to an intraday low of Rs 343.55. That leaves the close very close to the day\u2019s bottom range, which is the main reason the stock is drawing attention in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Stock News today.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s market capitalisation of Rs 74,792.96 crore keeps it in the Large Cap category. Turnover stood at Rs 12.37 crore, which is a factual traded-value measure for the session. There is no company-specific reason in the supplied data for the decline, so the verified takeaway is to the price move itself, the day\u2019s range and the closing level. For readers following Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price Update, the immediate question is how today\u2019s decline fits with the company\u2019s valuation and sector context. That takes the analysis from the day\u2019s price action into fundamentals and peers.<\/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 74,792.96 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;\">44.75x<\/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;\">1.4x<\/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;\">6.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price Today can be read alongside a market capitalisation of Rs 74,792.96 crore, a P\/E ratio of 44.75, a P\/B ratio of 1.4, ROE of 30.93%, ROCE of 23.1%, EPS of Rs 7.85, book value of Rs 250.31 and dividend yield of 6.9%. Each of these figures adds a different layer to Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Stock Analysis. EPS shows earnings attributable to each share, book value per share shows the accounting net worth behind each share, and dividend yield reflects the historical payout relative to the current share price.<\/p>\n<p>The headline valuation is the P\/E ratio of 44.75, which is well above the sector median of 9.2 in the supplied benchmark set. The P\/B ratio of 1.4 sits in line with the sector median of 1.4 and close to the sector average of 1.41. ROE at 30.93% and ROCE at 23.1% both sit above the benchmark medians of 21.52% and 21.26% respectively. Taken together, these figures give Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price a valuation and profitability profile that is more expensive on earnings than many peers, while also showing stronger return metrics than the sector midpoint. Univest views that combination as important context when the stock is moving lower without a stated catalyst.<\/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;\">44.75x<\/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;\">9.2x<\/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;\">16.4x<\/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;\">4.91x to 44.75x<\/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;\">1.4x<\/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;\">1.41x<\/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 74,792.96 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 74,792.96 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 3,01,218.28 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Hindustan Petroleum Corporation operates in the Crude Oil sector and the Refineries industry, and the supplied benchmark set includes 7 companies in the same industry. That scope matters because it lets investors compare valuation and returns on a like-for-like basis rather than on broad market averages. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Share Price sits alongside a company P\/E of 44.75 against a benchmark median of 9.2, an average of 16.4, a minimum of 4.91 and a maximum of 44.75. The company P\/B of 1.4 matches the sector median and is close to the average of 1.41.<\/p>\n<p>On profitability, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation reports ROE of 30.93% and ROCE of 23.1%, both above the benchmark medians of 21.52% and 21.26%.

company\u2019s P\/E of 44.75 is higher than IOC at 5.7, BPCL at 7.79, MRPL at 9.2, Chennai Petroleum at 4.91 and Continental Petroleums at 20.26, and also above Reliance at 22.2.<\/p>\n<p>On return
