Nifty Metal's own figures as NSE publishes them each day, Sept 2016 to Sept 2026 (2,478 sessions). The shaded band is where the middle half of those days sit, the dashed line their median. It says where the index has been priced, not where it should be: a multiple can be low because earnings are about to fall.
The sector's results, added up

Q1 FY27 results
45 of 45 companies have filed · their profit together is +51.9% on the same quarter a year before (39 companies)
Added up over the 35 companies that filed every quarter shown, of the 50 whose filings we hold and the 59 in the sector; each on a consolidated basis where it files one. For banks, revenue is total income. A sum is dominated by its largest companies, and says nothing about one that is not in it.

From the shareholding patterns filed for the quarter to Jun 2026, against Mar 2026, by the 45 of 59 companies whose filings for both we hold (91% of the sector's market value), each weighted by its market value. Mutual funds and insurers are part of domestic institutions. Foreign institutions leaves out the shares a depository holds behind ADRs and GDRs, which companies file under a different head from one quarter to the next; those sit in “public and others”. “pp” is percentage points of the company's shares. A holder's share also moves when a company issues or buys back shares; these are the filed figures, not a reading of anyone's intent.
Closes are end-of-day, adjusted for splits and bonuses. P/E and ROE come from the last four quarters of filings, for the companies whose filings we hold. A company's sector is the one the exchanges classify it in; these are facts about the companies, not a view on the sector.
