Mahindra &#038; Mahindra has an 18.37% ROE and trades at 17.19x P\/E against a 23.82x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is below the 19.04% peer average and its P\/E is below the 23.70x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 1.44 is below the 2.25 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_Mahindra_Mahindra\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of Mahindra &#038; Mahindra?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Mahindra &#038; Mahindra was trading at Rs 2,793.70 on the NSE as of 15 October 2026, within its 52-week range of Rs 2,744.30 to Rs 3,839.90. The stock trades about 27 percent below its 52-week high and about 2 percent above its 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 3,48,064 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 162.78, which is the earnings figure behind the 17.19x P\/E.

It also sits below the 23.82x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Automobile &#038; Ancillaries 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 3.74 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Mahindra_Mahindras_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is Mahindra &#038; Mahindra&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Mahindra &#038; Mahindra reported a return on equity of 18.37%, which is below the 19.04% average of its named peers, with Maruti Suzuki India at 13.70% and Ashok Leyland at 24.37%. 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 1.44 against a peer average of 2.25. 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_Mahindra_Mahindra_based_on_its_sector_position\"><\/span><strong>Should I invest in Mahindra &#038; Mahindra 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.
