Wockhardt (WOCKPHARMA) Share Price Falls 2.42% Today as Stock Slips to Rs 1,837.90

Wockhardt Share Price fell to Rs 1,837.90 on 01 September 2026, down 2.42% for the day, taking the decline to Rs 45.65 from the previous close of Rs 1,883.55. The company’s market capitalisation stood at Rs 32,103.58 crore, placing it in the Large Cap category.

Today’s move is drawing attention because the verified data confirms a same-day decline, but it does not establish any company-specific catalyst behind it. The stock opened at Rs 1,883.55, touched an intraday high of Rs 1,910, and then slipped to a low of Rs 1,834.50 before hovering near that lower end of the day’s range. Turnover stood at Rs 4.65 crore.

For investors tracking Wockhardt, the near-term focus is on three areas: whether the stock stabilises after trading below its 50-day moving average of Rs 1,915.73, how its valuation compares with the Pharmaceuticals & Drugs industry benchmark, and whether current profitability ratios support the prevailing multiple. Univest reviews the price move, sector context and peer positioning below.

Wockhardt (WOCKPHARMA) Share Price Today: Price Action Analysis

Metric Value
Current Price Rs 1,837.9
Previous Close Rs 1,883.55
Today's Move -Rs 45.65 (-2.42%)
Open Rs 1,883.55
High Rs 1,910
Low Rs 1,834.5
Turnover Rs 4.65 crore
Market Capitalisation Rs 32,103.58 crore
Market Cap Category Large Cap

Wockhardt Share Price Today reflects a clear intraday loss, with the stock moving from Rs 1,883.55 to Rs 1,837.90, a decline of Rs 45.65 or 2.42%. The move matters because the session began flat at the previous close, briefly extended to Rs 1,910, and then reversed enough to test Rs 1,834.50.

The spread between the day’s high and low shows active trading through the session. Trading near the intraday low rather than rebounding toward the open suggests selling pressure persisted later in the day. Turnover of Rs 4.65 crore also shows that the counter remained in focus, especially given its Large Cap classification and market cap of Rs 32,103.58 crore.

For readers following the stock closely, the available data confirms the decline itself but does not identify a specific trigger. That makes the next layer of analysis more relevant: valuation, profitability, and relative standing within the pharma pack.

Wockhardt (WOCKPHARMA) Fundamental Analysis

Metric Value
Market Capitalisation Rs 32,103.58 crore
P/E Ratio 74.83x
P/B Ratio 6.08x
ROE 4.29%
ROCE 6.79%
EPS Rs 25.17
Book Value Per Share Rs 309.81
Dividend Yield 0%

Wockhardt’s current fundamental snapshot shows a relatively elevated valuation alongside moderate profitability. At the available price, the company trades at a P/E ratio of 74.83 and a P/B ratio of 6.08. EPS stands at 25.17, while book value per share is Rs 309.81.

Return ratios are comparatively subdued in the supplied data. ROE is 4.29% and ROCE is 6.79%, indicating positive but not especially strong returns on equity and capital employed. Dividend yield is 0, so the present case in the available numbers is linked more to valuation and earnings expectations than to cash payout.

Market capitalisation at Rs 32,103.58 crore is substantial, but size alone does not settle the valuation question. With a P/E of 74.83 against ROE of 4.29% and ROCE of 6.79%, the stock naturally invites comparison with the broader Pharmaceuticals & Drugs benchmark and with large listed peers.

Wockhardt operates in the Healthcare sector and the Pharmaceuticals & Drugs industry. The benchmark snapshot gives useful context for the current decline because it shows valuation above central industry levels, while profitability trails benchmark medians and averages.

The industry benchmark covers 201 companies. Within that universe, Wockhardt’s P/E of 74.83 is above the industry median of 30.92 and above the average of 48.02, though still far below the maximum of 667.16. The P/E sample count is 168, with a minimum of 3.87. On price-to-book, Wockhardt’s 6.08 is above the median of 2.88 and average of 4.34 across 199 companies, within a range of -11.1 to 27.39.

Profitability looks softer versus the same industry. ROE of 4.29% trails the industry median of 11.81% and average of 11.21%, while ROCE of 6.79% is below the median of 13.65% and average of 13.76%. At the same time, market capitalisation of Rs 32,103.58 crore is above the industry median of Rs 683.05 crore and the average of Rs 14,252.90 crore. That mix of large size, premium valuation and weaker return ratios remains central to how the stock is being assessed.

Peer Comparison

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries SUNPHARMA 4,60,696.31 38.8 5.43 14.85 19.11

Cipla CIPLA 1,14,554.33 33.94 3.25 11.83 16

Against major listed pharmaceutical peers, Wockhardt occupies a middle ground on valuation but lags more clearly on profitability. Its P/E of 74.83 is higher than Sun Pharmaceutical Industries at 38.8, Zydus Lifesciences at 25.69 and Cipla at 33.94, but lower than Divi's Laboratories at 83.91 and Torrent Pharmaceuticals at 86.82.

On P/B, Wockhardt’s 6.08 sits above Sun Pharma’s 5.43, Zydus’ 4.3 and Cipla’s 3.25, but below Divi’s 13.89 and Torrent’s 21.1. The sharper contrast is on returns: ROE of 4.29% is below Sun Pharma’s 14.85%, Divi’s 16.19%, Torrent’s 26.76%, Zydus’ 19.69% and Cipla’s 11.83%. ROCE shows the same pattern, with Wockhardt at 6.79% against 19.11%, 21.51%, 19.27%, 21.39% and 16.0% respectively.

Size-wise, its market cap of Rs 32,103.58 crore is well below Sun Pharma at Rs 4,60,696.31 crore, Divi’s at Rs 2,46,062.83 crore, Torrent at Rs 1,91,515.22 crore, Zydus at Rs 1,18,403.70 crore and Cipla at Rs 1,14,554.33 crore. So the stock is being judged in a peer frame where valuation is not low, while return ratios remain weaker than several established competitors.
