Saurashtra Cement Ltd. fell to Rs 62.7, down 9.54% today, with market capitalisation at Rs 766.66 crore and turnover near Rs 0.2 crore.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price came under pressure on 07 August 2026, with the stock falling to Rs 62.7 from the previous close of Rs 69.31, a decline of Rs 6.61 or 9.54% in the session. With a market capitalisation of Rs 766.66 crore, the company sits in the Micro Cap basket, and today’s move was large enough to place it among the notable top decliners tracked by Univest.

For investors searching Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price Today, the headline number is straightforward: the stock opened at Rs 63.55, traded as high as Rs 65, and slipped to an intraday low of Rs 62.7, which was also the current traded price at the time of this update. The available data confirms the price fall and the scale of the decline, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the move.

That still makes this Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Stock News relevant. A nearly double-digit single-day share price decline in a micro cap stock matters because such moves can quickly change near-term sentiment, valuation optics and trading interest. Today’s price action also stood out against total traded volume of 4,15,936 shares across exchanges and turnover of Rs 0.2 crore on the tracked exchange. In this Univest stock analysis, the focus is on what the verified data shows across price action, fundamentals, sector positioning and peer comparison, and what investors should monitor next in Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price Today.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. (SAURASHCEM) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 766.66 crore
P/E Ratio	115.28x
P/B Ratio	0.8x
ROE	15.09%
ROCE	20.91%
EPS	Rs 0.6
Dividend Yield	0%

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. was valued at a P/E ratio of 115.28x, a P/B ratio of 0.8x. These multiples provide valuation context, but they should not be labelled expensive or inexpensive without a comparable peer or sector benchmark.

Profitability and capital efficiency were represented by ROE of 15.09% and ROCE of 20.91%. ROE relates profit to shareholder equity, while ROCE measures returns generated on the capital employed in the business.

Per-share and shareholder-return metrics included EPS of Rs 0.6, dividend yield of 0%. Dividend yield is a current or historical ratio and does not guarantee future distributions.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price may be under pressure today, but the broader financial picture is more mixed than the single-day move alone suggests. The stock combines a small market capitalisation with strong profitability ratios on some measures, while its valuation multiples show a sharp contrast between earnings-based and book-based pricing.

At a market capitalisation of Rs 766.66 crore, Saurashtra Cement Ltd. remains a micro cap company in the Construction Materials space. Its price-to-earnings ratio is 115.28, while the price-to-book ratio is 0.8. That combination is unusual on the surface: the P/E is elevated, but the P/B is below 1, which means the stock is trading at less than its reported book value even as the earnings multiple appears high. In Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Fundamental Analysis, that divergence is one of the most important datapoints to track.

The company’s return ratios provide further context. Return on equity stands at 15.09%, and return on capital employed is 20.91%. Those are not weak profitability readings in isolation and indicate that the business has been generating a reasonable return on shareholder capital and total operating capital based on the supplied figures. EPS is Rs 0.6, which shows the earnings attributable to each share on the reported basis. Dividend yield is 0, which indicates there is no current historical payout yield reflected in the data at the present market price.

The gap between EPS of Rs 0.6 and the current price of Rs 62.7 helps explain why the P/E ratio expands to 115.28. In other words, even a modest absolute earnings base can translate into a very high earnings multiple when the denominator is small. At the same time, a P/B ratio of 0.8 suggests the market is valuing the stock below its accounting net asset base. For investors following Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price Fall and Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Stock Analysis, that means the stock does not fit neatly into a simple “expensive” or “cheap” label without sector comparison. That sector lens is especially important here, because Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price Today is moving against the backdrop of a specific industry benchmark rather than in a vacuum.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price sits within the Construction Materials sector and the Cement & Construction Materials industry, and the benchmark data offers a useful frame for judging valuation and profitability. Relative to the same-industry sample, the company looks expensive on P/E, modest on P/B and comparatively firm on return ratios.

The supplied sector snapshot uses a benchmark scope of the same industry and covers 25 companies. Within that sample, Saurashtra Cement Ltd.’s company P/E of 115.28 stands well above the median P/E of 13.58 and also above the average P/E of 55.17. The benchmark P/E range runs from 8.4 to 319.74 across 11 companies with available P/E data, which shows that the industry itself has a wide spread in earnings multiples. Even inside that broad range, 115.28 is materially above the middle of the pack.

On price-to-book, the company’s P/B of 0.8 is below the benchmark median of 1.06 and also below the benchmark average of 0.96. The industry’s P/B range stretches from -11.6 to 9.79 across 25 companies, so Saurashtra Cement Ltd. sits toward the lower end of conventional book-value pricing. That gives a very different message from the earnings multiple.

Profitability compares better. Company ROE is 15.09%, exactly in line with the industry median of 15.09% and above the average of 10.55 across 25 companies. Company ROCE of 20.91% is above the median ROCE of 16.58 and well above the average of 13.13. In size terms, the company’s market capitalisation of Rs 766.66 crore is above the benchmark median of Rs 679.71 crore but below the average of Rs 859.6 crore, within a range of Rs 2.46 crore to Rs 2,867.94 crore. For Univest readers tracking Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price and sector analysis, the key takeaway is that valuation signals are split, while return metrics are relatively stronger than the benchmark averages.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. (SAURASHCEM) has a P/E ratio of 115.28x compared with the displayed peer median of 11.45x. This is a relative valuation comparison, not a buy or sell signal. Its ROE of 15.09% compares with a peer median of 11.03% across the companies shown in the table. ROCE stood at 20.91% versus the displayed peer median of 13.8%, providing a capital-efficiency comparison. Saurashtra Cement Ltd. (SAURASHCEM) has a market capitalisation of Rs 766.66 crore. Among the 5 peers shown, 5 have a larger market capitalisation.

Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price can be better understood by comparing it with listed peers in the same industry. The peer set shows that the company is much smaller than leading names in the group, carries a far higher P/E than most peers with available earnings multiples, and yet posts return ratios that are competitive with several companies.

Among the supplied peers, Ramco Industries Ltd. has a market cap of Rs 2,867.94 crore, P/E of 9.46, P/B of 0.64, ROE of 3.49% and ROCE of 5.28%. Orient Cement Ltd. stands at Rs 2,842.54 crore market cap with P/E of 13.58, P/B of 1.28, ROE of 18.75% and ROCE of 23.13%. Mangalam Cement Ltd. is valued at Rs 2,583.1 crore with P/E of 20.03, P/B of 2.64, ROE of 11.03% and ROCE of 13.8%.

Looking at somewhat closer size comparisons, Deccan Cements Ltd. has a market cap of Rs 800.39 crore, P/E of 28.28, P/B of 1.08, ROE of 22.69% and ROCE of 26.62%, while NCL Industries Ltd. stands at Rs 787.28 crore with P/E of 8.4, P/B of 0.85, ROE of 24.38% and ROCE of 27.18%. Against these figures, Saurashtra Cement Ltd. at Rs 766.66 crore is close to Deccan Cements and NCL Industries in size, but its P/E of 115.28 is far higher than either. Its P/B of 0.8 is lower than Deccan’s 1.08 and marginally below NCL’s 0.85.

On profitability, Saurashtra Cement Ltd.’s ROE of 15.09% is stronger than Ramco Industries and Mangalam Cement, but below Orient Cement, Deccan Cements and NCL Industries. Its ROCE of 20.91% is solid and ahead of several peers, though still below Orient Cement’s 23.13%, Deccan Cements’ 26.62% and NCL Industries’ 27.18%. KCP Ltd., with a market cap of Rs 1,997.63 crore, P/E of 11.45, P/B of 1.06, ROE of 22.01% and ROCE of 21.41%, also highlights how unusually high Saurashtra Cement Ltd.’s P/E remains versus comparable names. For Univest, that makes Saurashtra Cement Ltd. Share Price News as much a valuation story as a price action story.
