Because no verified catalyst was available, this article does not attribute the move to earnings, corporate action, sector news, or market rumours. If a confirmed announcement becomes available later, it should be added as a separate update.

Within the session the stock reached the lower circuit level of Rs 145.35.

What the Shivam Chemicals Lower Circuit Means

A lower circuit is the minimum price level a stock is allowed to reach during a trading session under the applicable exchange price band. For Shivam Chemicals Ltd., the captured lower circuit price was Rs 145.35 on 26 October 2026.

The circuit mechanism is meant to slow extreme price movement and keep trading orderly. It is a market-structure fact, not a return forecast. In this article, the lower circuit explains what happened in the session and where the price band was reached.

Shivam Chemicals Ltd. Fundamentals and Valuation

Available market data gives a fuller picture than price action alone. For Shivam Chemicals Ltd., PE ratio was 41.99, PB ratio was 6.24, book value was Rs 24.5, EPS was 3.64, ROE was 8.29%, ROCE was 11.39%, dividend yield was 0% and debt-to-assets ratio was 0.44, on a market cap of Rs 259.9 crore. These are available financial indicators and should not be read as a buy, sell, or hold view.

At the reported PB ratio of 6.24, the market valued Shivam Chemicals Ltd. above its reported book value per share. That premium can reflect growth expectations, asset quality, or simply thin trading in a smaller counter.

For investors tracking lower circuit moves, these metrics help separate the price event from the broader financial profile. A sharp one-day move can attract attention, but valuation and return ratios still need to be reviewed separately.

Peer Company	Market Cap	PE	PB	ROE
Chemplast Sanmar Ltd.	Rs 2904.47 crore	-	-10.54	-1244.14%

A dash in the PE column means no PE ratio was carried for that company in the source data, which happens when reported earnings are negative or have not been refreshed. Those companies are left out of the average below rather than counted as zero.

Several of these peers are far larger by market capitalisation than Shivam Chemicals Ltd. Size differences change liquidity and cost of capital, so the table is sector context rather than a like-for-like ranking.

Shivam Chemicals Ltd.'s PE ratio was 41.99, compared with an available peer PE average of 21.52, calculated from the 4 peer companies that had a PE on record. This comparison is a valuation reference point, not a recommendation.

Technical Snapshot

The technical snapshot adds context: RSI was 45.77, the 50-day moving average was 138.06 and the 200-day moving average was 113.52.

Worth flagging: the last traded price and the 50-day average point in different directions. Indicator values in the dataset can lag the live session, so they should be checked against a live chart before being relied on.

What Readers Should Know

The main confirmed fact is that Shivam Chemicals Ltd. hit the lower circuit on BSE at Rs 145.35 on 26 October 2026, with a -5% day move.

The practical limitation after a lower-circuit session is execution. Sellers queue at the band with few buyers, so exiting at the quoted price may not be possible. The other limitation is that no official catalyst was confirmed at the time of writing.

Readers should treat lower circuit events as market updates, not standalone investment conclusions. The price band shows heavy near-term selling pressure, but follow-up analysis should consider business fundamentals, valuation, liquidity, risk, and confirmed company disclosures.
