The New India Assurance Company NIACL Share Price slipped to Rs 172.05 today, down 2.66% from the previous close, with market capitalisation at Rs 29,128.40 crore. The move places NIACL Share Price Today among the day’s notable insurance-sector decliners, even though the supplied data does not establish a company-specific catalyst. In NIACL Stock News terms, the session was defined by a lower close than the prior day, a wider intraday range, and a finish near the lower end of the day’s band. For readers tracking NIACL Share Price news on Univest, the key question is not only what changed in the session, but how the current valuation, profitability, and sector comparison frame today’s share price fall. The numbers also help separate a one-day move from the broader NIACL Stock Performance picture.

The New India Assurance Company (NIACL) Fundamental Analysis

Metric	Value
Market Capitalisation	Rs 29,128.4 crore
P/E Ratio	37.86x
P/B Ratio	1.19x
ROE	5.95%
ROCE	5.44%
EPS	Rs 4.67
Book Value Per Share	Rs 148.26
Dividend Yield	0.85%

NIACL’s market capitalisation is Rs 29,128.40 crore, and the company’s PE ratio is 37.86. Its PB ratio stands at 1.19, which places the stock at a lower book multiple than many insurance peers in the supplied benchmark set. EPS is Rs 4.67, which shows earnings attributable to each share, while book value is Rs 148.26 per share, indicating the accounting net worth behind each share. Dividend yield is 0.85%, a historical/current payout measure rather than a guarantee of future distribution. ROE is 5.95% and ROCE is 5.44%, both below the supplied sector benchmark medians, which adds context to the current NIACL Share Price level. In simple terms, the NIACL Fundamental Analysis data shows a business with modest profitability metrics against a valuation that is not low on PE, though its PB is restrained. That mix helps explain why NIACL Share Price news is closely watched on Univest alongside financial results and company quality metrics.

For readers looking at NIACL Stock Analysis, the relevant question is how the current price aligns with these numbers. The answer is that today’s NIACL Share Price fall came without a verified catalyst, so the session is best understood through valuation and return ratios rather than a single event trigger. The current NIACL Share Price Today context therefore combines a lower daily close with mid-single-digit returns on equity and capital employed.
