What you see
A table of peer stocks with the same key columns you'd compare in a spreadsheet: price, 1D change, 1W/1M/1Y returns, PE, PB, ROE, market cap. Default sort: market cap descending — biggest peers at the top.
The current stock is highlighted in the table so you can read it as one row among many.
How peers are selected
Two layers:
- Industry match — companies in the same industry classification (NSE/BSE-defined). E.g. a private bank gets compared to other private banks, not to PSU banks or NBFCs.
- Market-cap proximity — within the industry, the peer list skews to companies of similar size. Comparing a ₹10,000 crore mid-cap bank to HDFC Bank is rarely the most useful comparison.
The list typically includes 6–10 peers. You can sort by any column.
What the table tells you, fast
Valuation question
Sort by PE ascending. Where does your stock sit relative to peers?
- Lowest PE in the table — either a genuinely cheap business or a market-disliked one
- Middle of the pack — fair valuation given the industry
- Highest PE — premium valuation; justify it by checking ROE / ROCE on the same row
A high PE on the highest ROE in the industry is often justified. A high PE on average ROE rarely is.
Quality question
Sort by ROE descending. The companies at the top are using shareholder equity most productively. A stock with the best ROE in its industry but only middle-of-the-pack PE is interesting — the market hasn't fully priced its quality.
Recent performance question
Sort by 1M or 3M returns. If your stock is the laggard relative to peers, there's often a stock-specific story you should investigate via the Filings tab. If it's the leader, ask whether the move is justified by news or just sentiment.
What the peers tab isn't great for
- Sector-wide views — go to the Sectors page for an industry overview
- Historical comparison — Peers shows current snapshots; you'd need to compare Financials tabs side-by-side
- Cross-sector comparison — a bank vs an IT company; the metrics don't translate
A common research pattern
After looking at a stock's Overview and Fundamentals, open Peers. Click the highest-ROE peer's symbol — read its overview and conviction strip. Then click the lowest-PE peer's symbol — same. You'll often find a more interesting stock than the one you started on.
