Coal India is known for consistently rewarding its investors with dividends. It has paid 29 dividends since February 2011. In the last year, the company declared a dividend of ₹26 per share, according to Trendlyne data. With the current share price, the dividend yield for Coal India stands at 6.82%.
Coal India is expected to post a decline in profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2024-25 ended December (Q3 FY25) on a yearly basis while in sequential terms, the profit could grow in high single digits. Similarly, revenue is likely to decline YoY but rise 17% QoQ.
Coal India’s EBITDA is likely to decline 7% YoY primarily due to lower e-auction prices, said Nuvama Research. The brokerage also expects flat volume (+1% YoY; 193mt), lower blended realisation (-2% YoY; INR1,690/t) and a marginal increase in CoP ex-employee cost (+2% YoY). "E-auction prices continue to be weak (down 19% YoY to ₹2,700/t), partially offset by higher e-auction volume (up 21% YoY to 19mt)," said the brokerage.
Ahead of its earnings today and amid weakness in the Indian stock market, Coal India share price was trading at ₹378.25, down 1.29%.
