Emami has a 26.51% ROE and trades at 22.02x P\/E against a 34.68x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 18.78% peer average and its P\/E is below the 29.94x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.06 is below the 0.07 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_Emami\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of Emami?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Emami was trading at Rs 378.20 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, within its 52-week range of Rs 361.15 to Rs 556.15. The stock trades about 32 percent below its 52-week high and about 5 percent above its 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 16,515 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 17.18, which is the earnings figure behind the 22.02x P\/E. Share prices change through the trading day, so check the live quote on Univest before acting on any number here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_sector_does_Emami_belong_to\"><\/span><strong>What sector does Emami belong to?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Emami is classified under the FMCG sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 34.68x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are Dabur India and Jyothy Labs, 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 FMCG sector stocks on the Univest Screener.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Emami_compare_to_its_sector_peers_on_PE\"><\/span><strong>How does Emami compare to its sector peers on P\/E?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Emami&#8217;s P\/E of 22.02x is below the 29.94x average of the 2 named peers, with Dabur India at 35.33x and Jyothy Labs at 24.55x. It also sits below the 34.68x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider FMCG sector. A P\/E that is below 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 5.65 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Emamis_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is Emami&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Emami reported a return on equity of 26.51%, which is above the 18.78% average of its named peers, with Dabur India at 16.59% and Jyothy Labs at 20.97%. ROE shows how much profit a company generates on every rupee of shareholders&#8217; equity, so a higher figure generally points to more efficient use of capital. ROE is easier to trust when leverage is modest, and here the debt to equity ratio is 0.06 against a peer average of 0.07. It is worth checking whether the ROE has been stable over several years rather than relying on a single reading.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_invest_in_Emami_based_on_its_sector_position\"><\/span><strong>Should I invest in Emami based on its sector position?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Sector position is only one input into an investment decision. Emami has a 26.51% ROE and a 22.02x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 2.64%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying. Spreading money across several stocks and sectors reduces concentration risk, and this article is educational content, not investment advice.

Emami has a 26.51% ROE and trades at 22.02x P\/E against a 34.68x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 18.78% peer average and its P\/E is below the 29.94x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.06 is below the 0.07 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.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the current share price of Emami?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Emami was trading at Rs 378.20 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, within its 52-week range of Rs 361.15 to Rs 556.15. The stock trades about 32 percent below its 52-week high and about 5 percent above its 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 16,515 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 17.18, which is the earnings figure behind the 22.02x P\/E. Share prices change through the trading day, so check the live quote on Univest before acting on any number here.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What sector does Emami belong to?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Emami is classified under the FMCG sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 34.68x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are Dabur India and Jyothy Labs, 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 FMCG sector stocks on the Univest Screener.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does Emami compare to its sector peers on P\/E?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Emami's P\/E of 22.02x is below the 29.94x average of the 2 named peers, with Dabur India at 35.33x and Jyothy Labs at 24.55x. It also sits below the 34.68x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider FMCG sector. A P\/E that is below 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 5.65 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Emami's return on equity?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Emami reported a return on equity of 26.51%, which is above the 18.78% average of its named peers, with Dabur India at 16.59% and Jyothy Labs at 20.97%. ROE shows how much profit a company generates on every rupee of shareholders' equity, so a higher figure generally points to more efficient use of capital. ROE is easier to trust when leverage is modest, and here the debt to equity ratio is 0.06 against a peer average of 0.07. It is worth checking whether the ROE has been stable over several years rather than relying on a single reading.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I invest in Emami based on its sector position?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Sector position is only one input into an investment decision. Emami has a 26.51% ROE and a 22.02x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 2.64%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying.
