The stock\u2019s EPS is Rs 21.42, book value per share is Rs 155.48 and dividend yield is 0.29%. These figures matter because EPS reflects earnings attributable to each share, book value shows accounting net worth per share, and dividend yield reflects the payout relative to price.<\/p>\n<p>On profitability, ROE stands at 13.94% and ROCE at 19.95%. ROCE is above ROE in the supplied data, suggesting capital employed is generating a stronger return than equity alone. In Astral Fundamental Analysis, the valuation remains the standout feature: the P\/E and P\/B both sit well above many industry reference points. That does not explain today\u2019s fall, but it does explain why Astral Stock Analysis tends to attract attention whenever the share price moves sharply.<\/p>\n<p>The same logic applies to Astral Financial Results coverage and Astral Company News commentary. When valuation is richer than the industry norm, investors usually look more closely at earnings, book value and profitability versus price. The dataset shows a company with scale, solid ROCE and a valuation above the wider benchmark set.<\/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;\">Plastic Products<\/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;\">Plastic Products<\/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;\">65.17x<\/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;\">19.83x<\/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;\">34.26x<\/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;\">0x to 459.45x<\/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;\">8.98x<\/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;\">1.64x<\/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;\">2.89x<\/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;\">13.94%<\/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;\">8.2%<\/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;\">7.4%<\/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;\">19.95%<\/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;\">11.33%<\/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;\">13.43%<\/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 37,503.56 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 112.55 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 1,250.2 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The benchmark covers 155 companies in the same industry. Astral\u2019s P\/E of 65.17 stands above the benchmark median of 19.83 and the benchmark average of 34.26. Its P\/B ratio of 8.98 is also above the benchmark median of 1.64 and average of 2.89. By contrast, ROE at 13.94% is higher than the benchmark median of 8.20%, and ROCE at 19.95% is higher than the benchmark median of 11.33% and average of 13.43%.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark market-cap data adds scale context. The sector median market capitalisation is Rs 112.55 Cr, the average is Rs 1,250.20 Cr, and the largest company in the benchmark set is Rs 45,018.32 Cr. Astral\u2019s market cap of Rs 37,503.56 Cr is therefore far above the median and within the upper end of the industry range. That is why Astral Share Price often draws attention when valuation and profitability are compared across the sector.<\/p>\n<p>For readers following Astral Share Price and Astral Share News, the sector takeaway is straightforward: profitability sits above the sector centre, but valuation multiples do too.
