Coal India at a glance

Coal India trades under the ticker COALINDIA on the NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) and is classified in the Energy / Oil & Gas sector. This page brings together a live AI forecast, a discounted-cash-flow (DCF) valuation, and the fundamentals investors most often look at before taking a position.

Because Coal India sits in the Energy / Oil & Gas space, its results tend to move with the drivers specific to that sector. The valuation framework below reflects the growth, risk and discount-rate assumptions we apply to Energy / Oil & Gas companies rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

How we value a Energy / Oil & Gas stock like Coal India

Our 3-stage DCF model projects earnings for Coal India using sector-calibrated growth: roughly 10.0% EPS growth in the high-growth phase (years 1–5), fading to about 7.0% (years 6–10), and a long-run terminal growth of 6.5%.

Those cash flows are discounted at an estimated cost of equity of 15.1%, built from a 7.0% risk-free rate, a sector beta of 0.95, and an equity risk premium of 8.5% (CAPM). The output is an intrinsic value per share and a "margin of safety" versus the current ₹ market price — shown live in the Valuation tab.

A near-market beta means Coal India has roughly tracked the broader index in volatility terms.

Key things to watch with Coal India

Before relying on any single number, sanity-check the inputs: is the current P/E reasonable versus Coal India's own history and its Energy / Oil & Gas peers? Are earnings growing on a durable basis, or boosted by one-offs? How sensitive is the intrinsic value if growth comes in a couple of points below the sector assumption?

The AI Forecast tab adds qualitative colour — bull and bear cases, catalysts and risks — while the Valuation tab keeps the maths transparent. Treat both as a research starting point, not a recommendation.
