ITC share price closed September 17 at ₹266.20, up ₹2.05 or 0.78%. The stock opened at ₹265 after a previous close of ₹264. Its displayed low was ₹264 and the high ₹269, leaving only ₹5 between the day's rounded extremes. ITC finished ₹2.20 above the low and ₹2.80 below the high.

The latest price remained close to the lower end of its annual range. ITC's 52-week low was ₹256 and its high ₹426. The September 17 close stood only ₹10.20 above the low, while the distance to the annual high was ₹159.80. Market capitalisation came in at ₹3,33,543 crore.

Volume was 14,457,291 shares, sizeable compared with the compact daily price band. Moving-average levels all remained higher than the final price. The 50-day DMA was ₹273.60, just ₹7.40 above the close. The 100-day DMA stood at ₹285.50, while the 200-day measure was ₹310.90. Those latter gaps widened to ₹19.30 and ₹44.70.

Each of the four recent return periods was negative. The one-month return was -4.31%, and the three-month reading was -8.73%. ITC recorded -13.64% over six months and -35.56% over one year. The magnitude of the negative return therefore increased across the longer six-month and one-year windows.

September 17 was considerably quieter than those longer-period figures. ITC began only ₹1 above the rounded previous close and never moved outside the ₹264–₹269 displayed band. It settled at ₹266.20 after gaining less than 1% for the day. The closing price remained below all three moving averages and just over ₹10 above the annual low, making the stock's 52-week positioning one of the clearest figures in the latest data. The combination of more than 14 million shares of volume and only a ₹5 high-low span also differentiated the session from several wider-ranging Nifty constituents.
