Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) Share Price Falls 2.07% Today

Hindustan Aeronautics Share Price fell to Rs 4,712.50 on 02 September 2026 at 11:19:15 AM IST, down 2.07% or Rs 99.50 for the day. The move places the company’s market capitalisation at Rs 3,20,680.96 crore. The stock opened at Rs 4,775.35, touched an intraday high of Rs 4,775.55 and a low of Rs 4,708.10, leaving it near the lower end of the day’s range.

For investors tracking HAL today, the verified data confirms the decline but does not establish any company-specific reason for it. Even so, the stock remains important because Hindustan Aeronautics is a Large Cap name and the biggest company by market value in the supplied Aerospace & Defense benchmark set. That combination alone keeps the counter on market watchlists whenever a meaningful one-day move appears.

There is also a second layer to today’s action. Alongside the price weakness, the supplied numbers show turnover of Rs 10.67 crore, a P/E ratio of 34.52, ROE of 23.98% and ROCE of 31.99%. So while the session is clearly negative on price, the broader data set still presents a stock with scale, established profitability and relatively moderate sector valuations. That is why the price move is worth examining beyond the headline fall.

Hindustan Aeronautics Share Price today reflects a consistently weak session rather than a brief intraday dip. The stock moved from a previous close of Rs 4,812.00 to Rs 4,712.50, a decline of Rs 99.50. It opened at Rs 4,775.35 and the day’s high of Rs 4,775.55 stayed almost identical to that opening level, indicating that the stock did not sustain any meaningful early upward push.

From there, the price moved down to Rs 4,708.10 before hovering close to that low. When a stock remains near the bottom of its day range, it usually tells readers that the session stayed under pressure through trading hours. Turnover at Rs 10.67 crore confirms that the move happened with visible market activity, although the dataset does not say whether that activity was driven by company news, sector moves or broader market sentiment.

For anyone searching for a quick Hindustan Aeronautics Share Price update, the core takeaway is simple: the stock is down, it is trading below both the previous close and the opening price, and the session range shows sellers had control for most of the day. Because this is a very large listed defence name, even a modest percentage decline can attract broad investor attention.

Technical Indicators in Context

The supplied technical markers add useful perspective to the session. HAL’s RSI stands at 47.76, which places it near the middle zone rather than an extreme reading. That means the available data does not, by itself, point to a strongly stretched momentum condition in either direction. It only shows that the stock is in a neutral-to-soft momentum band while the day’s price trend remains weak.

The 50-day moving average is Rs 4,856.22, while the 200-day moving average is Rs 4,416.25. With the current price at Rs 4,712.50, the stock is trading below its 50 DMA but above its 200 DMA. Read carefully, that combination suggests that the near-term position is weaker than the intermediate average, while the longer-term placement remains above the 200-day reference supplied here. These are descriptive observations from the available numbers, not directional calls.

In practical terms, investors often watch whether a falling stock can hold above its day low and whether it starts reclaiming shorter moving averages over subsequent sessions. Today’s data only shows where HAL stands at this moment: below the 50 DMA, above the 200 DMA and with a mid-range RSI reading.

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 3,20,680.96 crore
P/E Ratio	34.52x
P/B Ratio	7.55x
ROE	23.98%
ROCE	31.99%
EPS	Rs 139.38
Book Value Per Share	Rs 637.27
Dividend Yield	0.94%

Fundamentally, HAL remains a very large business within its industry sample. The company’s market capitalisation is Rs 3,20,680.96 crore, and its valuation ratios stand at 34.52 times earnings and 7.55 times book value. On their own, those figures only describe how the market is pricing the stock relative to earnings and net worth. Their real usefulness appears when they are compared with the sector benchmark.

Profitability metrics are firm in the supplied data. ROE is 23.98% and ROCE is 31.99%, both of which indicate strong return generation relative to shareholder equity and capital employed. EPS comes in at Rs 139.38, while book value per share is Rs 637.27. Dividend yield is listed at 0.94%, which is a backward-looking market metric and should not be read as a guarantee of future payout.

So, despite today’s decline, the stock still sits on a numerical base that many investors watch closely: large size, healthy returns and lower valuation multiples than many peers in the same space. That does not remove price volatility, but it does explain why the counter can remain in focus during weaker sessions.

HAL operates in the Capital Goods sector and the Aerospace & Defense industry. Across the supplied 10-company same-industry benchmark, its valuation looks noticeably lower than the group’s central tendency, while its return ratios look stronger than the benchmark median and average. That mix helps explain why the stock may stay relevant even when the day’s tape is negative.

The company’s P/E of 34.52 is the lowest in the benchmark set, matching the group minimum and sitting well below the median P/E of 91.81 and average of 95.18. Its P/B of 7.55 is also the lowest in the group, below the median of 12.23 and average of 11.48. On profitability, HAL’s ROE of 23.98% is higher than the median of 16.51% and average of 16.35, while ROCE of 31.99% is above the median of 21.73% and average of 20.98.

Scale is another standout point. HAL’s market value of Rs 3,20,680.96 crore is the highest in the benchmark, above the group median of Rs 15,265.82 crore and average of Rs 71,432.26 crore. In short, the dataset portrays HAL as the largest company in its peer universe, one of the stronger return generators, and one of the lowest-valued names on the supplied P/E and P/B comparisons.
