Coal India Q1 FY26: Profits Down Despite Strong Scale…

Coal India’s Q1 performance for June 2025 reflects a dip across all major metrics, despite maintaining massive scale. Sales declined 2% YoY to ₹35,842 crore, compared to ₹36,465 crore last year. While the drop is marginal, it shows muted topline growth. Sequentially, sales are also down from ₹37,825 crore in March 2025. EBIDT fell 13% YoY to ₹12,521 crore, indicating pressure on operating margins. This drop from ₹14,339 crore last year signals higher costs or reduced realization. Net profit took a sharper hit, dropping 20% YoY to ₹8,734 crore from ₹10,944 crore in June 2024. The decline also continues from the March quarter’s ₹9,593 crore. EPS (Earnings Per Share) slipped 20% YoY to ₹14.19, down from ₹17.78 last year and ₹15.58 last quarter, pointing to lower per-share earnings for investors. Coal India remains a cash-rich PSU with a massive market cap of ₹2.31 lakh crore and a low PE of just 7.0, making it attractive from a valuation perspective. But the earnings slowdown may weigh on near-term sentiment.
