Sumitomo Chemical India (SUMICHEM) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis

Metric	Value
Current Price	Rs 504
Previous Close	Rs 514.35
Today's Move	-Rs 10.35 (-2.01%)
Open	Rs 516.3
High	Rs 516.3
Low	Rs 504
Turnover	Rs 0.25 crore
Market Capitalisation	Rs 25,753.42 crore
Market Cap Category	Large Cap

Intraday trading data shows a straightforward pattern. The stock opened at Rs 516.3, never traded above that level, and later declined to Rs 504. Since the open was also the high and Rs 504 was also the low, the session reflected selling pressure from early trade rather than a wide two-way move.

For readers tracking Sumitomo Chemical India Share Price today, the range is important because it shows the stock moved from the top of the day’s band to the bottom without recovering above the opening mark. The fall of Rs 10.35 from the previous close translates into a 2.01% decline. Even though turnover was only Rs 0.25 crore in the supplied data, the company’s size means the move is still worth noting.

This price action alone does not explain why the stock moved down. However, it does provide the starting point for a broader check on whether the stock’s current valuation and profitability profile remain aligned with how the market is pricing it relative to peers in Pesticides & Agrochemicals.

Sumitomo Chemical India (SUMICHEM) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 25,753.42 crore
P/E Ratio	44.31x
P/B Ratio	7.12x
ROE	17.26%
ROCE	23.39%
EPS	Rs 11.61
Book Value Per Share	Rs 72.21
Dividend Yield	0.25%

The company’s fundamentals present a mix of strong return ratios and premium valuation multiples. The P/E ratio is 44.31, while the P/B ratio is 7.12. Those numbers indicate that the market is assigning a relatively high multiple to both earnings and book value.

Profitability metrics are healthier than that valuation might initially suggest. ROE stands at 17.26% and ROCE at 23.39%, both of which point to meaningful capital efficiency. EPS is Rs 11.61 and book value per share is Rs 72.21. Dividend yield is 0.25%, which indicates a relatively modest payout against the market price reflected in the supplied data.

In simple terms, Sumitomo Chemical India Share Price is not being valued like an average industry stock. It carries a premium rating, and that premium is easier to understand only when compared with the broader industry and with specific listed peers. If returns remain comparatively strong, investors may view higher multiples differently than they would for a weaker profitability profile. If not, premium valuations naturally come under closer scrutiny.

Sumitomo Chemical India operates in the Chemicals sector and the Pesticides & Agrochemicals industry. The industry benchmark spans 34 companies, giving enough context to judge whether today’s valuation and profitability sit near the middle of the pack or well outside it.

On earnings valuation, the company’s P/E of 44.31 is above the industry median of 20.5 and also above the industry average of 35.3. The range across the benchmark is wide, from 9.76 to 319.17, so the stock is not at the highest P/E in the universe. Still, it clearly sits above the central trend.

The P/B ratio is even more notable. At 7.12, it is equal to the benchmark maximum, while the median is 2.08 and the average is 2.48. That means the market is valuing the company’s net worth at a much richer multiple than the typical firm in the same industry set.

On the other hand, return ratios are also stronger than the benchmark. ROE of 17.26% is above the median of 10.92% and the average of 8.48%. ROCE of 23.39% is likewise above the median of 13.1% and the average of 12.24%. Market capitalisation also stands out: Rs 25,753.42 crore is far above the industry median of Rs 1,078.61 crore and average of Rs 4,992.8 crore.

That combination explains much of the attention around Sumitomo Chemical India Share Price. The stock represents scale and above-average returns, but also a valuation that is already richer than much of the industry.

Peer Comparison

Company	Symbol	Market Cap (Cr)	P/E	P/B	ROE (%)	ROCE (%)
UPL	UPL	47,484.52	23.64	1.38	6.95	12
PI Industries	PIIND	36,382	31.1	3.16	12.35	16
Bayer CropScience	BAYERCROP	17,844.03	24.5	5.46	23.7	30.08
Sharda Cropchem	SHARDACROP	6,918.11	11.36	2.21	24.16	31.1
Dhanuka Agritech	DHANUKA	4,359.76	16.45	2.67	18.62	24.44

Peer data reinforces the same conclusion. Compared with selected companies in the industry, Sumitomo Chemical India sits among the larger names by market value, but it also trades at higher valuation multiples than several peers.

UPL has a market cap of Rs 47,484.52 crore, P/E of 23.64, P/B of 1.38, ROE of 6.95% and ROCE of 12%. PI Industries has a market cap of Rs 36,382 crore, P/E of 31.1, P/B of 3.16, ROE of 12.35% and ROCE of 16%.

Bayer CropScience shows a different balance: market cap of Rs 17,844.03 crore, P/E of 24.5 and P/B of 5.46, but stronger profitability with ROE of 23.7% and ROCE of 30.08%. Sharda Cropchem trades at a P/E of 11.36 and P/B of 2.21, while posting ROE of 24.16% and ROCE of 31.1%. Dhanuka Agritech trades at a P/E of 16.45 and P/B of 2.67 with ROE of 18.62% and ROCE of 24.44%.

Viewed against that set, Sumitomo Chemical India Share Price appears supported by respectable profitability and large scale, yet its earnings and book-value multiples remain materially higher than those of several peers, including some with equal or stronger return ratios.
