P/E Ratio	65.17x
P/B Ratio	8.98x

Astral Share Price is trading with a market capitalisation of Rs 37,503.56 Cr, a P/E ratio of 65.17 and a P/B ratio of 8.98. The stock’s EPS is Rs 21.42, book value per share is Rs 155.48 and dividend yield is 0.29%. These figures matter because EPS reflects earnings attributable to each share, book value shows accounting net worth per share, and dividend yield reflects the payout relative to price.

On profitability, ROE stands at 13.94% and ROCE at 19.95%. ROCE is above ROE in the supplied data, suggesting capital employed is generating a stronger return than equity alone. In Astral Fundamental Analysis, the valuation remains the standout feature: the P/E and P/B both sit well above many industry reference points. That does not explain today’s fall, but it does explain why Astral Stock Analysis tends to attract attention whenever the share price moves sharply.

The same logic applies to Astral Financial Results coverage and Astral Company News commentary. When valuation is richer than the industry norm, investors usually look more closely at earnings, book value and profitability versus price. The dataset shows a company with scale, solid ROCE and a valuation above the wider benchmark set.

The benchmark market-cap data adds scale context. The sector median market capitalisation is Rs 112.55 Cr, the average is Rs 1,250.20 Cr, and the largest company in the benchmark set is Rs 45,018.32 Cr. Astral’s market cap of Rs 37,503.56 Cr is therefore far above the median and within the upper end of the industry range. That is why Astral Share Price often draws attention when valuation and profitability are compared across the sector.

For readers following Astral Share Price and Astral Share News, the sector takeaway is straightforward: profitability sits above the sector centre, but valuation multiples do too.
