Gujarat Fluorochemicals (FLUOROCHEM) Share Price Falls 2.41% Today
Gujarat Fluorochemicals (FLUOROCHEM)share price fell to Rs 4,578.45 today, down 2.41% from the previous close. Market cap was Rs 51,972.78 crore.

Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price fell to Rs 4,578.45 today, down 2.41%, while the company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 51,972.78 crore. The stock belongs to the Large Cap basket within the Chemicals industry, and the latest move is notable because it came after a stronger opening and then turned into a broad intraday decline.

The stock was down Rs 113.15 from the previous close of Rs 4,691.60. It opened at Rs 4,810.90, touched an intraday high of Rs 4,848.00 and later moved down to a low of Rs 4,553.00. The supplied data confirms the move in price, but it does not establish any company-specific catalyst behind it. In

That broader context matters because Gujarat Fluorochemicals combines a large market value with valuation multiples that are above industry medians, while return ratios are closer to benchmark middle levels. So, when the stock records a visible same-day decline, the discussion quickly extends beyond the price move itself to whether the prevailing valuation remains supported by fundamentals relative to the chemicals universe.

Gujarat Fluorochemicals (FLUOROCHEM) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis

Metric Value
Current Price Rs 4,578.45
Previous Close Rs 4,691.6
Today's Move -Rs 113.15 (-2.41%)
Open Rs 4,810.9
High Rs 4,848
Low Rs 4,553
Turnover Rs 3.41 crore
Market Capitalisation Rs 51,972.78 crore
Market Cap Category Large Cap

From a trading perspective, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price showed a clear reversal during the session. The stock opened above the previous close and even moved up to Rs 4,848.00, but that strength did not hold. As the day progressed, the stock declined sharply enough to test Rs 4,553.00 before recovering slightly to Rs 4,578.45 at the recorded time.

This pattern suggests that market participants saw selling pressure emerge after the open rather than a simple continuation from the prior close. The day’s range of Rs 295.00 between high and low also points to meaningful intraday volatility. For a large-cap chemicals company, that kind of range is enough to attract trader attention even without any verified corporate announcement attached to the move in the supplied data.

Turnover stood at Rs 3.41 crore, which gives an additional snapshot of activity but does not by itself explain the direction. For near-term observers, the technical picture in the supplied data is straightforward: price closed below the previous close and near the lower part of the session’s range after failing to sustain an early upside attempt.

Technical Indicators in Focus

The available technical indicators add a useful layer to the day’s price action. The RSI stood at 58.55, the 50-day moving average was Rs 4,622.19, and the 200-day moving average was Rs 3,821.51.

With the current price at Rs 4,578.45, the stock was below its 50 DMA of Rs 4,622.19 but above its 200 DMA of Rs 3,821.51. That places Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price in an interesting middle position: weaker than its recent medium-term average, yet still above its longer-term average. The RSI at 58.55 does not indicate an extreme reading based on the supplied figure alone, but it does suggest the stock was not at a deeply compressed level in this snapshot.

Taken together, the numbers imply that today’s decline pulled the stock below the 50-day average while leaving the longer-term trend reference intact. Investors who track momentum often watch this kind of setup closely because it can shape short-term sentiment even when the broader long-term placement remains above the 200 DMA.

Gujarat Fluorochemicals (FLUOROCHEM) Fundamental Analysis

Metric Value
Market Capitalisation Rs 51,972.78 crore
P/E Ratio 83.8x
P/B Ratio 6.42x
ROE 7.65%
ROCE 9.58%
EPS Rs 55.99
Book Value Per Share Rs 730.59
Dividend Yield 0.06%

On fundamentals, Gujarat Fluorochemicals is a sizeable listed company, but the most striking aspect of the snapshot is the gap between valuation and profitability. The stock trades at 83.80 times earnings and 6.42 times book value. Those are elevated multiples in absolute terms and they become more relevant on a day when the share price is under pressure.

Profitability metrics are more moderate. ROE is 7.65% and ROCE is 9.58%, while EPS stands at Rs 55.99 and book value per share is Rs 730.59. Dividend yield is 0.06%, indicating a very low yield based on the supplied data. In plain terms, this is not a snapshot of a low-multiple stock backed by unusually high return ratios. Instead, it is a stock with premium valuation measures and return metrics that need to be judged more carefully against sector norms.

That is one reason Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price gets close scrutiny when it falls. If a stock trades at higher-than-typical multiples, daily declines often trigger a recheck of whether its operating return profile is strong enough to justify that premium.

Benchmark Average Market Cap Rs 5,463.77 crore

Gujarat Fluorochemicals operates in the Chemicals sector and Chemicals industry. The sector benchmark in the supplied dataset covers 178 companies, giving a broad base for comparison.

On valuation, the company’s P/E of 83.80 is well above the industry median of 26.16 and also above the industry average of 49.98 across 152 companies with available P/E data. The industry P/E range stretches from 4.40 to 783.11, so the stock is not an outlier at the extreme top, but it is still clearly positioned above the middle and above the average.

The same pattern appears in price-to-book. Gujarat Fluorochemicals has a P/B of 6.42, versus an industry median of 1.89 and an average of 2.92 across 177 companies. By contrast, return metrics are much closer to benchmark medians. ROE of 7.65% is just below the industry median of 7.73%, though above the industry average of -2.85%. ROCE of 9.58% is slightly below the median of 9.84% and below the average of 18.38%.

Market capitalisation provides the opposite picture: at Rs 51,972.78 crore, the company is far larger than the industry median market cap of Rs 449.83 crore and well above the industry average of Rs 5,463.77 crore. So the stock stands out on size, but its profitability does not stand out to the same degree as its valuation multiples. That contrast is central to interpreting the latest move in Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price.

Peer Comparison

Company Symbol Market Cap (Cr) P/E P/B ROE (%) ROCE (%)
Solar Industries India SOLARINDS 1,85,957.06 97.29 27.94 32.49 38.16
Pidilite Industries PIDILITIND 1,66,565.83 62.71 14.37 24.29 32.38
SRF SRF 76,981.53 35.72 5.23 13.8 14.21
Navin Fluorine International NAVINFLUOR 43,808.15 56.51 10.63 20.24 21.39
Godrej Industries GODREJIND 38,352.18 33.12 3.37 22.65 10.64

The peer set sharpens the relative picture. Solar Industries India trades at a higher P/E of 97.29, but it also posts much stronger ROE of 32.49% and ROCE of 38.16%. Pidilite Industries trades at a lower P/E of 62.71 and has higher ROE of 24.29% and ROCE of 32.38%.

SRF, with a market cap of Rs 76,981.53 crore, trades at 35.72 times earnings and has ROE of 13.80% and ROCE of 14.21%, both above Gujarat Fluorochemicals. Navin Fluorine International, though smaller at Rs 43,808.15 crore, also shows lower P/E at 56.51 and stronger ROE and ROCE at 20.24% and 21.39%. Godrej Industries trades at 33.12 times earnings with ROE of 22.65% and ROCE of 10.64%.

In that context, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Share Price appears to reflect a richer valuation than several peers despite less dominant return ratios. That does not prove the stock is mispriced, but it does explain why a down day can bring valuation debates into sharper focus.
