Every NSE index, cheapest firstHow the Nifty500 Healthcare’s valuation reads today
- Against the market. The Nifty500 Healthcare trades at 2.32× the Nifty 50’s P/E, against a median of 1.81× across 297 days they were both priced — a wider premium 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 36.16 (Jan 2026) and as high as 47.29 (Aug 2026). 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. 45.93 today, up from 39.81 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 Nifty500 Healthcare level itself is what separates the two.

Where the Nifty500 Healthcare P/E ratio sits today
| Zone | P/E range | What it has meant |
|---|---|---|
| Undervalued | below 37.70 | Historically cheap — the zone that has rewarded adding, not waiting. |
| Fairly valued | 37.70 – 39.55 | Nothing to act on. Keep SIPs running at their normal size. |
| Slightly expensive | 39.55 – 45.51 | Above the ten-year middle. Stagger a lump sum rather than timing it. |
| Expensiveyou are here | above 45.51 | Historically dear — rebalancing to your target allocation is the honest response. |
Bands are the 10th and 90th percentiles of 297 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.
All three, since 2025
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 Nifty500 Healthcare P/E ratio today?
The Nifty500 Healthcare closed at a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.93 on 11 September 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 Nifty500 Healthcare overvalued right now?
Against its own history it is expensive: a P/E of 45.93 is the 93rd percentile of 297 daily closes, with a ten-year median of 39.55. 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 Nifty500 Healthcare?
There is no single good number, but there is a measured middle: 37.70 to 45.51 is the middle 80% of 297 daily closes, and the median sits at 39.55. Below 37.70 is the cheapest tenth of this index's own history and above 45.51 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 Nifty500 Healthcare P/B ratio?
The Nifty500 Healthcare price-to-book ratio is 5.70 as of 11 September 2026, against a ten-year median of 5.74. 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 Nifty500 Healthcare dividend yield?
The Nifty500 Healthcare dividend yield is 0.42% as of 11 September 2026, against a ten-year median of 0.54%. 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 — 142 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.
