NSE publishes one P/E for the NIFTY 50. How it is measured changes the answer: reported or core earnings, with or without the banks, the index or the typical stock. Here is each of them, side by side, every trading day, and why they differ.
The first reading appears after the first factsheet is loaded and a day's prices are in.
This page shows NSE's published NIFTY 50 P/E for the latest trading day alongside four rebuilt measures: trailing P/E from the last four published quarters, core P/E without other income and one-off items, P/E without financials, and the median constituent's P/E.
Because they measure different things: reported or adjusted earnings, standalone or consolidated, trailing or forward, the index aggregate or the median stock, with or without banks. Each choice moves the figure by several points; this page shows them side by side and explains the gaps.
The P/E on profit from the business itself: pre-tax profit without other income (treasury and investment gains) and exceptional items, taxed at the quarter's own rate. For banks and other lenders only exceptional items are removed, because their other income is part of their business.
No. On each day, only quarters already published are used, counted from 45 days after the quarter ends (60 days for the March quarter).
