Stocks in the news
IOC:
On July 30, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOC) reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 3,722.63 crore for the first quarter of the current financial year, marking a 75 percent decline from the same period last year. The company had posted a profit of Rs 14,735.30 crore in the year-ago period. This significant drop in profits is attributed to low gross refining margins (GRMs). Sequentially, the net profit decreased by 32 percent, as the company had reported a net profit of Rs 5,487.92 crore in the quarter ending March 31. Revenue for the first quarter of FY25 declined by nearly three percent to Rs 2.19 lakh crore compared to the previous year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) fell by 55 percent from last year to Rs 11,024.51 crore.
Coal India:
Coal India is expected to report a decline in net profit for the April-June quarter, primarily due to reduced eAuction premiums, which are a result of lower global coal prices and sufficient domestic production. According to Bloomberg estimates, Coal India’s net profit is projected to be Rs 5,436.1 crore, reflecting a 40 percent decrease quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and a 2 percent decline year-on-year (YoY). Revenue for the period is anticipated to be Rs 36,792 crore, marking a 2 percent increase YoY but a 4 percent decrease QoQ. EBITDA is forecasted to be Rs 6,807 crore, down 40 percent QoQ and 1.3 percent YoY. During the quarter, Coal India’s production rose by 7.9 percent YoY to 189.3 million tons, and dispatches increased by 5.2 percent YoY to 196.6 million tons. Despite the lower e-auction premiums, higher overall volumes may partially offset revenue losses. The company plans to sell 15 percent to 20 percent of its total volume through e-auction, with the remaining 80 percent secured through the Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) route, thus reducing its reliance on e-auction premiums.
