Trading volumes are limited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EPW_India_Valuation_Is_It_Justified\"><\/span><strong>EPW India Valuation: Is It Justified?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At a P\/B ratio of 6.41, the market pays about Rs 6.41 for every rupee of book value, and the EPS (TTM) of Rs 8.98 is the earnings base behind the P\/E. The stock trades about 15 percent below its 52-week high and about 2.4 times its 52-week low. The company does not currently show a dividend yield, so returns for shareholders depend mainly on the share price.

Whether it earns the label of best stock in Refurbished IT Hardware depends on how much weight you give each of them and on how the business executes from here. Because the stock trades above its sector benchmark, execution matters more than usual if the current valuation is to hold. As with any individual stock decision, this analysis is educational and investors should do their own research or consult a SEBI-registered advisor before investing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#CC0000;border-radius:8px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13px;line-height:1.7;margin:0;\"><strong style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information.

EPW India has a 24.01% ROE and trades at 26.72x P\/E against a 22.60x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 14.19% peer average and its P\/E is above the 19.71x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.24 is below the 0.39 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_EPW_India\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of EPW India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> EPW India was trading at Rs 239.95 on the NSE as of 21 October 2026, and its 52-week range runs from Rs 98.00 to Rs 282.05. That leaves the share price 15 percent short of the 52-week high and 2.4 times the 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 275 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 8.98, which is the earnings figure behind the 26.72x 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_EPW_India_belong_to\"><\/span><strong>What sector does EPW India belong to?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> EPW India is classified under the Refurbished IT Hardware sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 22.60x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are Redington and Rashi Peripherals, 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 Refurbished IT Hardware sector stocks on the Univest Screener, since no two companies in a sector have exactly the same business mix.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_EPW_India_compare_to_its_sector_peers_on_PE\"><\/span><strong>How does EPW India compare to its sector peers on P\/E?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> EPW India&#8217;s P\/E of 26.72x is above the 19.71x average of the 2 named peers, with Redington at 20.89x and Rashi Peripherals at 18.53x. It also sits above the 22.60x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Refurbished IT Hardware 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 6.41 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_EPW_Indias_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is EPW India&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> EPW India reported a return on equity of 24.01%, which is above the 14.19% average of its named peers, with Redington at 14.67% and Rashi Peripherals at 13.71%. 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 0.24 against a peer average of 0.39. 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_EPW_India_based_on_its_sector_position\"><\/span><strong>Should I invest in EPW India 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. EPW India has a 24.01% ROE and a 26.72x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 0.00%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying.

Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 14.19% peer average and its P\/E is above the 19.71x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.24 is below the 0.39 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 EPW India?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"EPW India was trading at Rs 239.95 on the NSE as of 21 October 2026, and its 52-week range runs from Rs 98.00 to Rs 282.05. That leaves the share price 15 percent short of the 52-week high and 2.4 times the 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 275 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 8.98, which is the earnings figure behind the 26.72x 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 EPW India belong to?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"EPW India is classified under the Refurbished IT Hardware sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 22.60x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are Redington and Rashi Peripherals, 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 Refurbished IT Hardware sector stocks on the Univest Screener, since no two companies in a sector have exactly the same business mix.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does EPW India compare to its sector peers on P\/E?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"EPW India's P\/E of 26.72x is above the 19.71x average of the 2 named peers, with Redington at 20.89x and Rashi Peripherals at 18.53x. It also sits above the 22.60x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Refurbished IT Hardware 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 6.41 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is EPW India's return on equity?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"EPW India reported a return on equity of 24.01%, which is above the 14.19% average of its named peers, with Redington at 14.67% and Rashi Peripherals at 13.71%. 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 0.24 against a peer average of 0.39. 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 EPW India based on its sector position?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Sector position is only one input into an investment decision. EPW India has a 24.01% ROE and a 26.72x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 0.00%. 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.
