The New India Assurance Company Share Price was at Rs 201.15 on 10 September 2026, down Rs 4.60 or 2.24% from the previous close of Rs 205.75, taking the company’s market capitalisation to Rs 33,825.20 crore.

For investors tracking The New India Assurance Company Share Price Today, the supplied data confirms the price fall but does not establish a company-specific catalyst. That still makes NIACL Stock News relevant: the stock remains a Large Cap insurance name, its valuation sits close to the industry average on P/E, and its profitability metrics remain below the broader insurance benchmark. On Univest, that combination of today’s price action, sector-relative valuation and profitability profile helps explain why the stock is trending in market searches.

The key points to monitor next are whether the stock holds above its recent intraday low, how it behaves relative to its moving-average base, and whether its fundamental and sector metrics justify fresh investor attention after today’s decline.

The New India Assurance Company (NIACL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 33,825.2 crore
P/E Ratio	44.08x
P/B Ratio	1.39x
ROE	5.95%
ROCE	5.44%
EPS	Rs 4.67
Book Value Per Share	Rs 148.26
Dividend Yield	0.73%

The supplied fundamentals show a mixed picture: The New India Assurance Company Share Price is being valued at a P/E ratio of 44.08 and a P/B ratio of 1.39, while return ratios remain relatively modest with ROE at 5.95% and ROCE at 5.44%. That means the market is still assigning a meaningful earnings multiple, but current profitability is below several insurance-sector benchmarks discussed later.

EPS stands at 4.67, which represents earnings attributable to each share. Book value per share is Rs 148.26, giving context to the P/B ratio of 1.39 and suggesting the stock is priced only moderately above its accounting net worth. Dividend yield is 0.73, which indicates a relatively historical payout support at the current market price. For investors researching The New India Assurance Company Fundamental Analysis and NIACL Earnings context, this combination is notable: valuation is not deeply discounted on earnings, but it is comparatively restrained on book value. In Univest’s view, that leaves the stock in a zone where market attention depends less on headline valuation alone and more on whether profitability measures improve relative to peers and the insurance benchmark.

The insurance sector comparison shows why The New India Assurance Company Share Price is attracting analytical attention today. Within a same-industry benchmark covering 11 companies, NIACL’s P/E of 44.08 is slightly above the sector median of 42.48 but just below the average of 44.83. The sector P/E range is wide, from 6.92 to 108.18, so NIACL is not an outlier on earnings valuation.

The picture changes on book value and profitability. NIACL’s P/B ratio of 1.39 is well below the industry median of 4.37 and average of 4.48, within a sector range of 1.01 to 8.70. That suggests the market is assigning a lower balance-sheet multiple to the stock than it does to many listed insurance peers. However, company ROE of 5.95% trails the sector median of 12.62% and average of 13.63, while ROCE of 5.44% is also below the median of 11.82% and average of 14.60. On size, NIACL’s market capitalisation of Rs 33,825.20 crore is below the industry median of Rs 61,009.26 crore and average of Rs 1,02,455.06 crore, though still comfortably above the minimum of Rs 14,207.25 crore and far below the maximum of Rs 5,18,713.06 crore. On Univest, that makes NIACL a sizeable insurance player whose valuation looks more conservative on book value than on profitability.

Peer data puts The New India Assurance Company Share Price in an interesting middle ground. Compared with Life Insurance Corporation of India, NIACL trades at a far higher P/E than LICI’s 8.58, while LICI also posts much stronger ROE of 37.70% and ROCE of 37.75%, alongside a much larger market cap of Rs 5,18,713.06 crore. Against SBI Life Insurance Company, NIACL’s P/E of 44.08 is lower than 65.00 and its P/B of 1.39 is far lower than 8.40, but SBI Life delivers stronger ROE of 13.77% and ROCE of 14.15%.

HDFC Life Insurance Company trades at P/E of 56.58 and P/B of 5.71, again above NIACL on valuation multiples, while posting ROE of 11.54% and ROCE of 10.01%. ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company appears stronger on profitability too, with ROE of 17.90% and ROCE of 23.62%, while trading at a lower P/E of 30.60 than NIACL. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company shows P/B of 4.87, ROE of 12.62% and ROCE of 11.82%, all ahead of NIACL’s current return ratios. In short, NIACL’s peer position is supported by a lower P/B multiple, but challenged by weaker profitability metrics. That balance is central to any NIACL Stock Analysis on Univest.
