Price to earnings (P/E), price to book (P/B) and dividend yield for the Nifty Midcap Select, which is currently fairly valued — the 16th percentile of 1,265 daily closes since 2016. Close of 27 Oct 2026.
Every NSE index, cheapest firstHow the Nifty Midcap Select’s valuation reads today
- Against the market. The Nifty Midcap Select trades at 1.38× the Nifty 50’s P/E, against a median of 1.53× across 1,265 days they were both priced — a deeper discount than usual. A sector can look dear on its own numbers while being cheap against the market, and that gap is usually the more useful of the two.
- The range it has actually traded in. Its P/E has been as low as 17.55 (Nov 2023) and as high as 67.39 (Oct 2024). Both ends are real closes, not a model — and the high end of an index P/E is usually an earnings collapse rather than a price melt-up, which is why the bands below are percentiles and not a mean.
- Versus a year ago. 26.36 today, down from 30.90 a year ago. The ratio moves on price and on earnings, so a falling P/E can mean the index got cheaper or that its constituents earned more — the Nifty Midcap Select level itself is what separates the two.

Where the Nifty Midcap Select P/E ratio sits today
| Zone | P/E range | What it has meant |
|---|---|---|
| Undervalued | below 23.62 | Historically cheap — the zone that has rewarded adding, not waiting. |
| Fairly valuedyou are here | 23.62 – 33.06 | Nothing to act on. Keep SIPs running at their normal size. |
| Slightly expensive | 33.06 – 54.12 | Above the historical middle. Stagger a lump sum rather than timing it. |
| Expensive | above 54.12 | Historically dear — rebalancing to your target allocation is the honest response. |
Bands are the 10th and 90th percentiles of 1,265 daily closes, with the median as the middle line — so the cheapest and dearest tenth of this index’s own history bound the outer zones, and one freak print cannot move them. They describe where this index has traded, not where it should — a market can stay expensive for years, and this is not a signal to act on.
When the Nifty Midcap Select P/E was here, what came next
For every month-end since 07 Jul 2016: the index’s annualised return over the following 1, 3 and 5 years, grouped by the valuation zone it started in. Median, with the worst and best start underneath.

Price return only (index levels carry no dividends, so each figure understates an investor’s return by about the dividend yield). Start months overlap: a 5-year window spans 60 of them, so the counts are not independent observations. A zone needs 12 starts before it is summarised. The past spread of outcomes is wide in every zone — this is a record, not a forecast.
All three, since 2016
Each cell is the median of that month’s daily closes — one day’s print can be an earnings-revision artefact, and on a grid this size that day would colour the whole month. Hover a cell for the trading-day count behind it, or the line above it for any day’s close. All three are always shown; the buttons at the top only change which metric the valuation zones describe.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Nifty Midcap Select P/E ratio today?
The Nifty Midcap Select closed at a price-to-earnings ratio of 26.36 on 27 October 2026. NSE publishes it once a day after the close, on a consolidated trailing-twelve-month basis, so it moves on the index and on quarterly earnings revisions — there is no intraday figure.
Is the Nifty Midcap Select overvalued right now?
Against its own history it is fairly valued: a P/E of 26.36 is the 16th percentile of 1,265 daily closes, against a median of 33.06 over that span. That describes where this index has traded, not where it should — a market can stay expensive for years, and this is not a signal to act on.
What is a good P/E ratio for the Nifty Midcap Select?
There is no single good number, but there is a measured middle: 23.62 to 54.12 is the middle 80% of 1,265 daily closes, and the median sits at 33.06. Below 23.62 is the cheapest tenth of this index's own history and above 54.12 the dearest tenth. Compare it to the index's own past rather than to another market's — earnings mix and growth differ, so an Indian P/E and a US one are not the same quantity.
What is the Nifty Midcap Select P/B ratio?
The Nifty Midcap Select price-to-book ratio is 3.96 as of 27 October 2026, against a historical median of 4.32. P/B compares the index to the book value of its constituents' assets, which makes it the steadier of the two — book value does not swing on one quarter's earnings the way a P/E denominator can.
What is the Nifty Midcap Select dividend yield?
The Nifty Midcap Select dividend yield is 0.81% as of 27 October 2026, against a historical median of 0.80%. It reads backwards from the other two: a HIGH yield is the cheap end, because the same dividends are being bought for a lower price.
How often does this page update, and where do the numbers come from?
From NSE's own daily index file, which carries P/E, P/B and dividend yield for every index it prices — 144 of them have a meaningful P/E today. It is published once after each close and picked up by the hourly refresh, so the figures here are the last published close, never a live quote.

How to read these numbers
Consolidated trailing-twelve-month, free-float weighted, one value a day — and why the absolute number tells you almost nothing on its own.
Valuation predicts ten-year returns and not next year’s. What that gap means, and when a reading should change anything.
