Eyes on Coal India’s financial performance

Coal India will announce its second quarter ending September financial performance on Saturday. Coal India, the country’s fifth largest company by market capitalisation, is expected to post flat to negative growth in profits. Analysts, however, expect revenues to improve by about five per cent year-on-year on growth in realisations/ despatches. The stock is expected to react adversely, if the results fail to meet even the modest Street expectations.

Shares of the company will be in demand following the good show.
