Nippon Life India Asset Management has a 32.83% ROE and trades at 41.40x P\/E against a 17.97x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 27.55% peer average and its P\/E is above the 30.53x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.02 is above the 0.01 peer average, which matters because borrowing can inflate returns and add risk when business conditions weaken. These figures are best read together rather than in isolation, and they work as a starting point for your own research and not as a verdict.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_share_price_of_Nippon_Life_India_Asset_Management\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of Nippon Life India Asset Management?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Nippon Life India Asset Management was trading at Rs 1,057.30 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, within its 52-week range of Rs 795.80 to Rs 1,269.50. The stock trades about 17 percent below its 52-week high and about 33 percent above its 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 67,780 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 25.58, which is the earnings figure behind the 41.40x P\/E.

The 2 named peers compared here are HDFC Asset Management Company and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, chosen as comparable listed names so that the P\/E, ROE and debt figures come from the same live data source. Investors who want a wider view can compare more Finance sector stocks on the Univest Screener.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Nippon_Life_India_Asset_Management_compare_to_its_sector_peers_on_PE\"><\/span><strong>How does Nippon Life India Asset Management compare to its sector peers on P\/E?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Nippon Life India Asset Management&#8217;s P\/E of 41.40x is above the 30.53x average of the 2 named peers, with HDFC Asset Management Company at 33.19x and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC at 27.87x. It also sits above the 17.97x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Finance sector. A P\/E that is above a peer average can reflect a valuation discount or premium, but it can also reflect different growth or return expectations, so it should be read alongside ROE and debt. Its P\/B ratio of 14.54 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Nippon_Life_India_Asset_Managements_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is Nippon Life India Asset Management&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Nippon Life India Asset Management reported a return on equity of 32.83%, which is above the 27.55% average of its named peers, with HDFC Asset Management Company at 30.97% and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC at 24.13%.
