FACT Share Price declined to Rs 778.35 today, down 2.21% from the previous close of Rs 795.90. The company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 51,503.69 crore, placing it in the Large Cap category and making the move relevant within today’s stock news flow. In this FACT Share Price Today update, the supplied data confirms a same-day fall, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. For readers tracking FACT Stock News, the key question is what the price action shows and how it compares with the company’s fundamentals, sector context and peer set. Univest is using only the verified figures in the data set to frame this share price fall objectively.

Market Cap Category	Large Cap

FACT Share Price Today finished at Rs 778.35 after opening at Rs 796.00, matching the day’s high, before touching a low of Rs 778.35. The stock therefore moved from Rs 795.90 at the previous close to Rs 778.35, a decline of Rs 17.55 or 2.21%. This is the factual price action that defines today’s move in FACT Stock News. Turnover stood at Rs 0.19 crore, which is the exact value supplied for the session and should be read only as a traded-value metric. The move also matters because the company sits in the Large Cap category with a market cap of Rs 51,503.69 crore. For investors scanning FACT Share Price Fall headlines, today’s session shows a lower close than the previous day and a close at the intraday low. That is the relevant event detail, while the reason for the move remains unstated in the supplied data. FACT Share Price Update readers can now place the day’s move alongside the company’s financial and sector context.

For a fuller view, Univest places this share price fall next to the company’s fundamentals, market valuation and sector benchmark rather than relying on the day’s headline change alone.

The Fertilisers And Chemicals Travancore (FACT) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 51,503.69 crore
P/B Ratio	39.97x
ROE	-2.91%
ROCE	7.89%
EPS	Rs -1.64
Book Value Per Share	Rs 19.91
Dividend Yield	0%

FACT’s fundamental profile shows a mixed set of metrics. Market capitalisation is Rs 51,503.69 crore, which is substantial compared with the peer set discussed later in this article. The company’s price-to-book ratio is 39.97, while book value per share is Rs 19.91. That combination means the current market price is far above the accounting book value per share. EPS is Rs -1.64, ROE is -2.91%, ROCE is 7.89% and dividend yield is 0. These numbers are important for FACT Fundamental Analysis because they show earnings per share, return on equity, return on capital employed and current payout data in the same frame. The supplied figures do not support a simple one-line interpretation; instead, they show that the stock is valued at a much higher multiple of book value than the sector median, while profitability metrics are not uniformly strong. Univest uses this context to keep FACT Share Price analysis anchored to verifiable numbers rather than assumptions.

Put differently, FACT Stock Analysis today is not only about the decline in price. It is also about how a Large Cap company with negative EPS and ROE, but positive ROCE, sits against a sector benchmark that can be very different from the company’s own valuation profile.

FACT operates in the Chemicals sector and Fertilizers industry. The supplied benchmark scope covers the same industry with 27 companies, which gives a useful comparison set for FACT Share Price analysis. Across that benchmark, the median P/B is 1.20 and the average P/B is 3.46, while FACT’s P/B is 39.97. The benchmark median ROE is 8.13% and the average ROE is 11.63%, while FACT’s ROE is -2.91%. The benchmark median ROCE is 12.86% and the average ROCE is 12.31%, while FACT’s ROCE is 7.89%. On market capitalisation, the industry median is Rs 485.53 crore and the average is Rs 6,531.58 crore, compared with FACT’s Rs 51,503.69 crore. This is the most useful sector lens for FACT Share Price Today because it shows the company above the industry median in size and far above the benchmark median in P/B, while profitability metrics sit below the benchmark medians supplied. Univest readers looking at FACT Stock News can therefore see how the company’s share price fall sits inside a broad industry valuation comparison rather than in isolation.

The benchmark range also matters. The industry P/B range runs from -14.2 to 39.97, ROE ranges around the supplied set, and market cap ranges from Rs 5.90 crore to Rs 57,390.82 crore. That means FACT is near the top end of the peer group by size, but the current valuation ratios and returns need to be read against the exact data rather than against general sector assumptions.

Peer Comparison

Company	Symbol	Market Cap (Cr)	P/E	P/B	ROE (%)	ROCE (%)
Coromandel International	COROMANDEL	57,390.82	31.5	4.46	16.08	23.92
Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals	CHAMBLFERT	16,753.28	8.71	1.53	20.41	25.5
Paradeep Phosphates	PARADEEP	16,008.79	14.91	2.23	18.21	15.09
Madhya Bharat Agro Products	MBAPL	7,686.33	49.61	13.1	31.5	19.41
Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals	GSFC	6,056.86	8.93	0.5	5.52	7.17

FACT’s peer group shows a wide spread in valuation and returns, and that comparison is central to FACT Share Price Today analysis. Coromandel International has a market cap of Rs 57,390.82 crore, P/B of 4.46, ROE of 16.08% and ROCE of 23.92%. Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals reports Rs 16,753.28 crore in market cap, P/B of 1.53, ROE of 20.41% and ROCE of 25.50%. Paradeep Phosphates stands at Rs 16,008.79 crore, P/B of 2.23, ROE of 18.21% and ROCE of 15.09%. Madhya Bharat Agro Products has Rs 7,686.33 crore in market cap, P/B of 13.10, ROE of 31.50% and ROCE of 19.41%. Against those names, FACT is much larger by market capitalisation than most peers, but its P/B of 39.97 is above every peer listed here, and its ROE of -2.91% and ROCE of 7.89% sit below several of them. Univest therefore presents FACT Share Price news as a case where size, valuation and return metrics point in different directions.

From a stock analysis angle, the peer table shows that the share price fall did not happen in a vacuum. It came on a day when the company’s valuation and return profile remained distinct from several directly comparable fertiliser businesses.
