Vedanta Share Price Fall 4.5% After Viceroy Research Report Raises Concerns

New Delhi, February 5, 2026: Vedanta Ltd shares fell nearly 4.5% intraday on February 5, 2026. This was done following the release of a report by Viceroy Research that highlighted concerns related to the Vedanta group’s corporate structure.

This fall occurred despite otherwise good operational indicators of Vedanta. This underscores the impact of external research publication and governance issues on short-term market responses.

Why the Vedanta Ltd Share Price Moved

The stock movement followed the publication of a report by Viceroy Research. This raised questions around the group’s holding structure, leverage, and inter-company financial linkages.

While no new regulatory action was announced, the report brought renewed focus on debt servicing and cash-flow visibility at the group level, leading to increased caution among some market participants.

Stock Performance Snapshot

As of 2:49 pm on February 5, 2026, Vedanta Ltd share price was trading near ₹654, down about 4.9% from the previous close. The company’s market capitalisation stood at approximately ₹256,000 crore. The stock has traded within a 52-week range of ₹362 to ₹770.

At current levels, Vedanta was trading at a P/E ratio of about 23.4, with a book value of ₹103 per share. The stock continues to offer a relatively high dividend yield of around 6.6%. This has historically supported investor interest during periods of volatility.

What This Means for Investors

The stock movement highlights the sensitivity of Vedanta shares to governance-related developments and third-party research commentary and market participants are likely to track management communication, disclosures related to group-level debt reduction, and developments in underlying commodity prices.
