Bharat Coking Coal shares fell sharply after the company reported a Q1 net loss, lower offtake, and weak operating performance. Revenue declined, EBITDA slipped into loss, and earnings disappointed investors. G Chokkalingam, Founder & MD, Equinomics Research, believes the long-term demand outlook for coking coal remains positive but advises investors to hold rather than buy at current levels. He also prefers Coal India over Bharat Coking Coal, citing its strong renewable energy expansion, critical minerals strategy, and attractive dividend yield.
