As of July 16, 2025, India Pesticides is considered overvalued with a PE ratio of 30.10 and lower ROE of 9.26%, especially compared to peers like UPL and Sharda Cropchem, despite a strong year-to-date return of 20.09%.
As of 16 July 2025, the valuation grade for India Pesticides has moved from fair to expensive, indicating that the company is overvalued. The key ratios reflect this assessment, with a PE ratio of 30.10, an EV to EBITDA of 20.50, and a Price to Book Value of 2.79. In comparison to its peers, India Pesticides' valuation appears less attractive, especially when contrasted with UPL, which has a PE ratio of 40.4 and an EV to EBITDA of 8.63, highlighting a significant premium in the market for UPL.

The company’s current valuation suggests it is overvalued, particularly given its lower ROE of 9.26% compared to peers like Sharda Cropchem, which is very attractive with a PE of 23.67. Furthermore, while India Pesticides has shown a strong year-to-date return of 20.09% compared to the Sensex's 5.75%, this performance does not justify its current high valuation relative to its earnings potential and peer performance.
