HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. traded at Rs 242.9, up 9.12% today, taking its market capitalisation to Rs 238 crore and putting the micro cap stock in focus.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price rose to Rs 242.9 on 17 August 2026, up 9.12% from the previous close of Rs 222.6, lifting the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 238 crore. In today’s Stock Market Today action, the move placed the Plastic Products company among notable Top Gainers Today on the BSE and made it relevant from both an event and valuation perspective.

The supplied data confirms a same-day price rise of Rs 20.3, with the stock opening at Rs 244.85, touching a day high of Rs 244.85 and a day low of Rs 211. Turnover stood at Rs 2.39 crore, while total traded volume was 98,296 shares, all reported on the BSE.

Why is it trending? Verified data establishes that the stock cleared the qualifying bar for its market-cap bucket and entered the day’s top gainer conversation. Why is the stock rising? The supplied market data confirms the price event but does not establish a company-specific catalyst. Important financial metrics still help frame the move: HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price is trading at a P/E of 7.21 and P/B of 2.37, with ROE at 241.86, ROCE at 69.67 and EPS at 30.86. Investors tracking this HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 238 crore
P/E Ratio	7.21x
P/B Ratio	2.37x
ROE	241.86%
ROCE	69.67%
EPS	Rs 30.86
Dividend Yield	0%

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. was valued at a P/E ratio of 7.21x, a P/B ratio of 2.37x. 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 241.86% and ROCE of 69.67%. 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 30.86, dividend yield of 0%. Dividend yield is a current or historical ratio and does not guarantee future distributions.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Fundamental Analysis shows that today’s share price rise is happening in a stock that still screens at relatively modest headline valuation multiples. At a market capitalisation of Rs 238 crore, the company sits firmly in the micro cap bracket, which says more about size than quality. Its P/E ratio is 7.21 and its P/B ratio is 2.37, two figures that become more meaningful when compared with the broader Plastic Products benchmark later in this report.

The profitability numbers stand out. Return on equity is 241.86 and return on capital employed is 69.67. ROE measures the return generated on shareholder equity, while ROCE captures returns earned on capital employed in the business. On the supplied figures alone, both metrics are very high and explain why HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Stock Analysis may attract attention beyond just today’s price move. Such returns can influence how investors read both earnings efficiency and capital productivity.

EPS is Rs 30.86. That matters because earnings per share links the quoted market price to the company’s reported earnings base and is a core input behind the P/E ratio of 7.21. Dividend yield is 0, which means the current data set does not show an active historical/current yield support in the stock’s valuation narrative. In other words, HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price is being discussed today more through price action, valuation and profitability than through income payout characteristics.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) is classified under sector: Plastic Products and industry: Plastic Products.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) has a P/E ratio of 7.21x, which is below the benchmark median of 18.94x, a difference of -61.93%. P/E is a valuation multiple and is not, by itself, a buy or sell signal.

HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) has a ROE of 241.86%, which is above the benchmark median of 7.04%, a difference of +3,335.51%. HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) has a ROCE of 69.67%, which is above the benchmark median of 9.69%, a difference of +618.99%.

The Plastic Products sector snapshot gives useful context for why HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price is drawing interest. The benchmark scope is the same industry, covering 140 companies. Against that universe, the company’s P/E of 7.21 is below the industry median of 18.94 and also below the average of 34.7, placing the stock on the lower side of the supplied earnings-valuation range.

The full industry P/E range is wide, from 0 to 384.19, which shows that valuation outcomes in Plastic Products vary sharply across listed companies. Even within that spread, HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price looks inexpensive on the supplied earnings multiple versus the benchmark median and average. That is a factual relative valuation point, not a recommendation. It simply means that the stock’s current price is supported by a lower P/E than the industry’s central tendency.

On price-to-book, the company’s P/B ratio of 2.37 is above the benchmark median of 1.49 and above the average of 1.89. So while earnings valuation appears lower than the sector norm, book-value valuation is somewhat richer than the same-industry midpoint. That mixed pattern makes the stock analytically more interesting than a simple cheap-or-expensive label would suggest.

Profitability measures are where the gap becomes dramatic. Company ROE stands at 241.86 versus an industry median of 7.04 and average of 11.07. Company ROCE is 69.67 against an industry median of 9.69 and average of 9.65. On supplied numbers alone, HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. is far above the benchmark on both return metrics. In size terms, its market capitalisation of Rs 238 crore is above the industry median of Rs 96.5 crore but below the average of Rs 329.15 crore, with the sector range extending from Rs 3.19 crore to Rs 3,143.8 crore. Univest therefore sees the stock as a micro cap participant in a much broader Plastic Products universe where valuation is low on P/E, above-median on P/B and unusually strong on supplied return ratios.

Its ROE of 241.86% compares with a peer median of 23.65% across the companies shown in the table. ROCE stood at 69.67% versus the displayed peer median of 22.21%, providing a capital-efficiency comparison. HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. (HPBL) has a market capitalisation of Rs 238 crore. Among the 5 peers shown, 5 have a larger market capitalisation.

Peer comparison helps place HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price within the listed Plastic Products space. The supplied peer set includes larger names such as Prince Pipes and Fittings Ltd., Ddev Plastiks Industries Ltd., Nilkamal Ltd., Xpro India Ltd., Cosmo First Ltd., EPACK PREFAB TECHN LTD, Apollo Pipes Ltd., Tarsons Products Ltd., Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. and Jai Corp Ltd. By market capitalisation, HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. at Rs 238 crore is much smaller than all of these peers, whose market values range from Rs 1,765.58 crore to Rs 3,143.8 crore in the listed comparison set.

On valuation, the company’s P/E of 7.21 is below Prince Pipes at 30.79, Ddev Plastiks at 13.43, Nilkamal at 22.19, Xpro India at 78.85, Cosmo First at 14.75, EPACK PREFAB TECHN at 24.38, Tarsons at 174.6 and Jai Corp at 18.94. That makes HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price one of the lower-P/E names in the displayed set. Its P/B of 2.37 is above Prince Pipes at 1.87, Nilkamal at 1.73, Cosmo First at 1.49, Jain Irrigation at 0.33 and Jai Corp at 1.16, but below Ddev Plastiks at 2.66, Apollo Pipes at 2.9, EPACK PREFAB TECHN at 3.07, Tarsons at 3.06 and Xpro India at 3.36.

The return profile is also notable. ROE at 241.86 is materially above Prince Pipes at 23.65, Nilkamal at 7.13, Xpro India at 40.04, Cosmo First at 39, EPACK PREFAB TECHN at 10.21, Apollo Pipes at 13.19, Tarsons at 28.19, Jain Irrigation at 4.07 and Jai Corp at 6.65. It is also above Ddev Plastiks, where ROE is -53.85. ROCE at 69.67 is similarly ahead of Prince Pipes at 28.73, Nilkamal at 10.95, Xpro India at 22.21, Cosmo First at 30.79, EPACK PREFAB TECHN at 13.83, Apollo Pipes at 16.68, Tarsons at 34.25, Jain Irrigation at 4.93 and Jai Corp at 9.48, as well as Ddev Plastiks at -4.05.

This makes HCP Plastene Bulkpack Ltd. Share Price News particularly interesting from a screening standpoint: the company is far smaller than its peers, cheaper on P/E than most of them, yet higher on the supplied return ratios than the entire displayed group. Univest would frame that as a data-led contrast worth monitoring rather than as a directional conclusion.
