Coal India shares fell 4.06% to close at ₹410.15 on Tuesday after the state-run miner reported a marginal 0.7% rise in consolidated net profit to ₹8,849.81 crore for the June quarter. Total income rose 8% but total expenditure grew 12% year-on-year, leading to weaker operating performance and lower-than-expected realisations, brokerages said. Jefferies maintained a buy rating with a ₹500 target, citing a likely recovery in power demand from a weak monsoon that could aid Coal India's volumes in FY27. Citi and JPMorgan retained neutral ratings with targets of ₹430 and ₹435 respectively, flagging muted volume trends and cost headwinds from a potential wage revision in FY27. Morgan Stanley kept an equal-weight rating with a ₹420 target, noting weak operating numbers and cutting EBITDA estimates.
