Last traded price, day change, 52-week range and key ratios for popular Indian stocks — factual exchange data only, never a buy or sell recommendation.
How to read stock data
A stock quote looks dense, but it is really just a few numbers answering simple questions. The last traded price (LTP) tells you what the share is worth right now. The day change — shown as a percentage — tells you how far it has moved since the previous close. The day high and low show the range it has swung through today, and the 52-week high and low show that range over the past year. Together they answer "what's it worth, how is it moving, and where does that sit in its recent history?" None of it is a signal to act — it is a description of the market, not a forecast.
What LTP, 52-week, market cap, P/E and dividend yield mean
Five terms do most of the heavy lifting on any stock page:
- LTP (Last Traded Price) — the price of the most recent trade. The headline number.
- 52-week high / low — the highest and lowest price over the trailing year; the context for today's price.
- Market cap — share price × shares outstanding, in ₹ crore; the market's valuation of the whole company, and how it gets sorted into large-, mid- and small-cap.
- P/E ratio — price ÷ earnings per share; how many rupees you pay per rupee of annual profit. Best compared with sector peers.
- Dividend yield — annual dividend ÷ price, as a %; the cash income the share returns, separate from price gains.
Each per-stock page on this site lays out exactly these fields. Where a value reads —, the live feed hasn't refreshed that number yet — we never show an invented figure.
NSE vs BSE — which price is "the" price?
India has two main exchanges: the NSE (National Stock Exchange, home of the Nifty 50) and the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange, home of the Sensex). Most large companies are listed on both, and arbitrage keeps the two prices within paise of each other, so the LTP you see is effectively the same on either. The NSE carries the higher trading volume; the BSE is the older exchange. Your broker lets you buy the same share on whichever you prefer.
A note on "share price target" searches
Many people search for a stock's "share price target". It is worth being clear: any target figure you see is a third-party analyst estimate, not a fact and not our recommendation. Masala Money shows only factual market data — price, range and standard ratios — and never publishes price targets or predictions. For a view on where a stock might go, read the analyst's full report and reasoning, and remember different analysts often disagree sharply. For your own decisions, do your own research and consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LTP (Last Traded Price) of a stock?
LTP is the price at which the most recent trade in that stock was executed on the exchange. During market hours it updates in real time; after the close it is the day's closing price. It is the single best snapshot of "what the share is worth right now", but it is a market price, not a valuation — and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
What does the 52-week high and low mean?
The 52-week high and low are the highest and lowest prices the stock traded at over the past one year. They frame where today's price sits in its recent range — near the 52-week high suggests strong momentum, near the low the opposite — but past range says nothing definite about the future. Treat them as context, not a signal.
What is market capitalisation (market cap)?
Market cap = share price × total number of shares outstanding, usually quoted in ₹ crore. It is the market's valuation of the whole company. Companies are grouped as large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap by market cap; larger caps are generally less volatile, smaller caps more so.
What does the P/E ratio tell me?
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is the share price divided by earnings per share. A P/E of 25 means investors are paying ₹25 for every ₹1 of annual profit. A high P/E can mean high growth expectations or an expensive stock; a low P/E can mean a value opportunity or a struggling business. Compare it with the company's sector peers, never in isolation.
What is dividend yield?
Dividend yield = annual dividend per share ÷ share price, shown as a percentage. A 3% yield means a ₹100 share pays ₹3 a year in dividends. It tells you the cash income a share returns, separate from any price gain — useful for income-focused investors, but a very high yield can also flag a falling price, so check why it is high.
What is the difference between NSE and BSE?
The NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) are India's two main stock exchanges. Most large companies are listed on both, and prices are near-identical because of arbitrage. The NSE has higher trading volumes and its Nifty 50 is the headline index; the BSE is older and its benchmark is the Sensex. You can buy the same share on either exchange through your broker.
