According to reports from Essential Business Intelligence, defensive plays are gaining traction, with utilities, FMCG, PSUs and select metals emerging as key areas of interest. Investors are also watching for dividend and bonus-related announcements, which could provide additional triggers for stocks with a strong track record of shareholder payouts.
Coal India maintained a 6% dividend yield in fiscal 2026, unchanged from fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. As reported by Essential Business Intelligence, the company's consistent dividend performance provides stability for investors seeking reliable income streams. The outlook remains mixed, with commentary and expectations around fiscal 2027 numbers likely to remain key for investors.
