21 Sept 2026 · LiveMint Markets
Energy and oil firms including ONGC and Hindustan Petroleum have emerged as top companies offeirng high dividend yields, with Hindustan Petroleum at 6.7%.
The analysis
Oil and Natural Gas reported movement of 6.7%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -1.0% on the day at ₹221.99, and has returned -9.2% over three months. It sits 26% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved +1.0% over the same period, so Oil and Natural Gas is running 10.2 points behind its peers.
For Oil and Natural Gas, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.
