NHPCAll-Time High & Drawdowns

₹118, first reached on 15 July 2024. NHPC Ltd. last closed at ₹75, which is 36.8% below it. This is an intraday high adjusted for stock splits but not for dividends, so it is directly comparable with the price quoted today. Figures update when our data pipeline runs rather than continuously.

36.8% below it. Recovering that would take a gain of about 58.2% from here — the asymmetry that makes falls harder to undo than they look, because a 50% fall needs a 100% gain to reverse.

Over the last twelve months NHPC Ltd. traded between ₹72 and ₹89, and last closed at ₹75. Both figures are intraday — the highest and lowest prices actually printed in the window, not the highest and lowest closes.

-47.8%, from a peak in September 2009 to a low in July 2013. That is measured on total return, so dividends are counted as reinvested and the fall in the quoted price was deeper still. It is also measured on month-end values, which means an intra-month low that recovered before the month closed is not captured — the real worst moment was at least this bad.

6 years and 11 months. It fell from its September 2009 peak, bottomed in July 2013, and did not close a month above the old peak again until August 2016 — the climb back from the bottom alone took 3 years and 1 month. Depth gets the attention, but the waiting is what most people find hard.

Because they measure different things and both are correct. The ₹118 figure is a price — the highest NHPC ever traded at, on the same basis prices are quoted today. The drawdown section instead tracks the value of a holding whose dividends were reinvested, and its peak is the high point of that holding rather than of the price. On a company that pays dividends the two always differ, and using the second one to answer "what is the all-time high" would understate it.

That is not a question this page answers, and we do not make recommendations. What it can tell you is exactly how far NHPC Ltd. has fallen from its high, how deep its worst fall was, and how long the recovery took — the historical context most price pages leave out. A stock that recovered from every previous fall may not recover from this one, and a large fall is not by itself evidence of value.
