The stock trades about 17 percent below its 52-week high and about 19 percent above its 52-week low. The dividend yield of 0.44% is a modest income component, so returns depend mainly on the share price. As with any single stock, investors should weigh these figures against their own valuation discipline and risk appetite rather than the sector label alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#000000;margin:14px 0;\">Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/ofss-best-stock-in-its-sector\">Is Oracle Financial Services Software the Best Stock in Its Sector?

Whether it earns the label of best stock in Education and Coaching depends on how much weight you give each of them and on how the business executes from here. Because the stock trades below its sector benchmark, the open question is whether earnings growth will close that gap or whether the discount is deserved. 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.

Arihant Academy has a 27.15% ROE and trades at 29.83x P\/E against a 107.86x Industry P\/E. Against the 2 peers compared in this article, its ROE is above the 23.24% peer average and its P\/E is above the 12.21x peer average. Its debt to equity ratio of 0.00 is below the 0.11 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_Arihant_Academy\"><\/span><strong>What is the current share price of Arihant Academy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Arihant Academy was trading at Rs 230.00 on the NSE as of 21 October 2026, and its 52-week range runs from Rs 192.50 to Rs 277.50. That leaves the share price 17 percent short of the 52-week high and 19 percent clear of the 52-week low. Its market capitalisation is Rs 279 Cr and its EPS (TTM) is Rs 7.71, which is the earnings figure behind the 29.83x 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_Arihant_Academy_belong_to\"><\/span><strong>What sector does Arihant Academy belong to?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Arihant Academy is classified under the Education and Coaching sector on Univest, and that group of listed companies is the reference point for the 107.86x Industry P\/E used in this article. The 2 named peers compared here are NIIT Learning Systems and Career Point, 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 Education and Coaching 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_Arihant_Academy_compare_to_its_sector_peers_on_PE\"><\/span><strong>How does Arihant Academy compare to its sector peers on P\/E?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Arihant Academy&#8217;s P\/E of 29.83x is above the 12.21x average of the 2 named peers, with NIIT Learning Systems at 10.61x and Career Point at 13.80x. It also sits below the 107.86x Industry P\/E, which is the benchmark for the wider Education and Coaching 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 8.30 gives one more view of how the market values its book value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Arihant_Academys_return_on_equity\"><\/span><strong>What is Arihant Academy&#8217;s return on equity?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Arihant Academy reported a return on equity of 27.15%, which is above the 23.24% average of its named peers, with NIIT Learning Systems at 16.06% and Career Point at 30.42%. 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 0.00 against a peer average of 0.11. 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_Arihant_Academy_based_on_its_sector_position\"><\/span><strong>Should I invest in Arihant Academy 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. Arihant Academy has a 27.15% ROE and a 29.83x P\/E, which make it worth researching further, and its dividend yield is 0.44%. You should also weigh its business outlook, earnings consistency, debt levels, your investment horizon and your own risk appetite before buying.

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 Arihant Academy based on its sector position?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Sector position is only one input into an investment decision.
