Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 6,156.74 crore
P/E Ratio	36.89x
P/B Ratio	3.33x
ROE	7.9%
ROCE	10.65%
EPS	Rs 5.73
Book Value Per Share	Rs 63.47
Dividend Yield	0.09%

IOL Chemicals And Pharmaceuticals Share Price is now being assessed against fundamentals that look mixed. The stock trades at 36.89 times earnings and 3.33 times book value. EPS stands at Rs 5.73, while book value per share is Rs 63.47. Dividend yield is 0.09%.

Profitability is positive but moderate. ROE is 7.9% and ROCE is 10.65%, which means the business is generating returns, though not at especially strong levels relative to many larger pharmaceutical peers. This is relevant because valuation is not unusually low despite those return ratios.

In short, IOL Chemicals And Pharmaceuticals Share Price is not being valued like a distressed stock, but the reported return profile also does not place it among the stronger profitability names in its broader industry set.

Technical Context

Even after today’s decline, the stock remains above both key long-term moving averages. The current price of Rs 194 is above the 50 DMA of Rs 177.47 and well above the 200 DMA of Rs 121.64. That indicates the broader trend context is still stronger than the one-day move alone might suggest.

The RSI reading of 73.75 is also elevated. While RSI on its own does not explain why the stock fell today, it does show that momentum had been strong enough to place the stock at a relatively high reading before or during this move. As a result, the session combines short-term weakness with a price still trading above important average levels.

IOL Chemicals And Pharmaceuticals Share Price sits within the Healthcare sector and Pharmaceuticals & Drugs industry. In the supplied same-industry benchmark of 200 companies, the stock’s valuation looks slightly above median on both earnings and book value, but its profitability trails industry medians.

The company’s P/E of 36.89 is above the median of 32.73 and below the average of 49.1. Its P/B of 3.33 is above the median of 3.06 and below the average of 4.42.
