Coal India Q3 Results: Coal India, the state-run coal mining company, is set to report its December quarter (Q3 FY24) results on Monday, February 12. The company, according to Zee Business Research, will report a weak set of numbers, given the high base due to last year's e-auction realisation.
The company is expected to post consolidated revenue of Rs 35,226 crore, up 0.16 per cent year-on-year (YoY), while EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, is likely to fall 12 per cent YoY to Rs 9,187 crore. Margins are also expected to decline to 26 per cent against 30 per cent logged in the year-ago period. Profit after tax (PAT), or net profit, is estimated to fall 13 per cent YoY to Rs 6,720 crore.
The premium for e-auctions is expected to be around 70 per cent. Key monitorables include the dividend announcement.
The stock ended 5 per cent lower at Rs 433.05 on the BSE.
