Nifty Finance - Capital Markets Index — Constituents & Performance
The Finance - Capital Markets companies below are the listed Indian Finance - Capital Markets universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Finance - Capital Markets index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.

How has Finance - Capital Markets moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 9% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies fell 1% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 6 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
03 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Finance - Capital Markets outperforming NIFTY 500?
Finance - Capital Markets has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.3% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 0%. 1 of 6 covered companies currently beats NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Centrum Capital Ltd is the strongest against the sector itself at +21.8%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Finance - Capital Markets has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.3% over 52 weeks and 0% over 13 weeks. 1 of 6 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 2 of 5 beat the sector itself. Centrum Capital Ltd leads with income of ₹3,577 crore, based on 6 of 6 comparable companies through Mar 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 60.6% evidence confidence.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

05 · what price has already done
Market action
Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Finance - Capital Markets at +13.7%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +22.3%. 1 of 6 covered companies is above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-07-31.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind NIFTY 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS NIFTY 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Finance - Capital Markets itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Income Scale & Growth Durability
Centrum Capital Ltd has the highest Income among the 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies compared here, at ₹3,577 crore. National Securities Depository Ltd is next at ₹1,530 crore. Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd has the highest Income growth at 27.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Income series carries 14 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: Centrum Capital Ltd is the scale leader at ₹3,577 crore, 133.8% ahead of National Securities Depository Ltd. Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd's growth is 27.8% from a ₹69 crore base, with 14 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap133.8% versus #2 · National Securities Depository Ltd
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage6/6 companies · 66 observations
Investor read: Centrum Capital Ltd is the scale benchmark; Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Centrum Capital Ltd's growth falls below Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Funding Base & Its Composition
No company in this Finance - Capital Markets comparison reports a funding base figure this section can compare, so the Deposits rank is empty. On Borrowings, Centrum Capital Ltd is highest at ₹16,058 crore, across 6 of 6 companies with a usable reading.
What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable deposits leader.
LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/6 companies · 0 observations
Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current borrowings signal.
For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

Withheld from this chart: Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) — its two data sources disagree by up to 16% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd (PRUDENT) — its two data sources disagree by up to 3% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.

Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd has the highest ROE among the 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies compared here, at 28.6%. Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd is next at 27.7%. Aditya Birla Money Ltd has the highest ROE change at +9.5 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies.

Investor read: Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roe change signal.
ROE shows the return to shareholders, but should be read with asset quality and leverage.

Gross NPA — Leaders & Improvers
No company in this Finance - Capital Markets comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 6 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out. Filings were read through Jun 2026.
Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.
Withheld from this comparison: Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) — its two data sources disagree by up to 16% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd (PRUDENT) — its two data sources disagree by up to 3% on reported income across 14 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies compared here, at 0.24×. National Securities Depository Ltd is next at 0.4×. Centrum Capital Ltd has the lowest P/BV at 3.7×, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.24×, 40% below National Securities Depository Ltd. Only 5 of 6 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.
Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. Lower is better only if asset quality and return durability hold; cheap book value with weakening NPAs is not automatically attractive.

13 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Finance - Capital Markets comparison names 8 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 6 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 3 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 2 have second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
- 3 companies draw at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; they are marked unverified wherever those figures appear.
- 2 companies are missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.
- Thin comparisons: Funding base, Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-31. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
FundamentalsThrough Jun 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
Market dataThrough 2026-07-31 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
Source standing0 cross-checked · 4 unverified · 2 withheld, of 6 graded companies.
How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.

Finance - Capital Markets company comparison FAQs
These 23 answers restate the Finance - Capital Markets comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 6 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-31. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Finance - Capital Markets sector outperforming NIFTY 500?

Which Finance - Capital Markets company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd ranks first at 63.5/100 with 60.6% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Finance - Capital Markets company has the lowest comparable P/BV-to-ROE?
Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.24, among 5 of 6 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Finance - Capital Markets comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
What is the Nifty Finance - Capital Markets index?
The Nifty Finance - Capital Markets index tracks India's listed Finance - Capital Markets companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 6 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Finance - Capital Markets sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Finance - Capital Markets stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd places first among 6 listed Finance - Capital Markets companies, followed by Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.
How many Finance - Capital Markets stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 6 listed Finance - Capital Markets companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.
Which Finance - Capital Markets company is the biggest?
Centrum Capital Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of ₹3,577 crore, ahead of National Securities Depository Ltd at ₹1,530 crore. That covers 6 of 6 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Finance - Capital Markets company makes the most profit?
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd earns the most, at ₹471 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 6 of 6 comparable companies. Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 20.6%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Finance - Capital Markets company earns the highest return on capital?
Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd leads on return on assets at 21.1%, across 4 of 6 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Finance - Capital Markets stock is the cheapest?
On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Wealth First Portfolio Managers Ltd screens cheapest at 0.24×. Only 5 of 6 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Finance - Capital Markets sector beating the market?
Finance - Capital Markets has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 11.3% over the last 52 weeks and 0% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 1 of 6 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Finance - Capital Markets stock has the strongest price momentum?
Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Finance - Capital Markets company scores highest for research priority?
Prudent Corporate Advisory Services Ltd scores 63.5 out of 100 with 60.6% evidence confidence, from 22.7 points on growth and earnings, 16.5 on capital efficiency, 5.8 on valuation and 18.5 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Finance - Capital Markets companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 6 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Finance - Capital Markets sector?
The 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies on this page carry ₹60,755 crore of combined market value. Central Depository Services (India) Ltd is the largest at ₹27,860 crore, about 46% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-05.
What is the Finance - Capital Markets sector's P/B ratio?
The median price-to-book ratio across the 6 Finance - Capital Markets companies on this page is 14.2×, measured on the 6 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-05.
How is the Finance - Capital Markets sector performing?
1 of the 6 covered Finance - Capital Markets companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 11.3% behind NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-05.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
