Coal India Reports 11-12% Q4 Profit Rise, Declares Rs 5.25 Final Dividend

Coal India reported a 11-12% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 10,839-10,908 crore for Q4 FY26, driven by higher revenue from operations of approximately Rs 46,490 crore and improved realizations despite a slight decline in sales volume. EBITDA grew about 12%, with margins expanding. Coal production was steady, while offtake declined marginally. The board declared a final dividend of Rs 5.25 per share, subject to shareholder approval. For FY26, net profit fell about 12%, with revenue largely flat. Brokerages remain divided on the stock's outlook amid mixed operational trends and expansion plans.
