7 Oct 2026 · LiveMint Markets
PTC India leads with a dividend yield of 16.7%, highest among 10 stocks. The company declared two interim dividends in 2026 and proposed a final dividend. Other top dividend-yielding companies include Coal India at 6.3% and REC at 6.1% as per October 2026 analysis.
The analysis
Coal India reported movement of 6.3%, 6.1% and 16.7%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.7% on the day at ₹414.50, and has returned -3.6% over three months. It sits 14% below its 52-week high. The metals & mining sector has moved +2.0% over the same period, so Coal India is running 5.6 points behind its peers.
For Coal India, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Buybacks, dividends and splits change what a shareholder actually receives, and often signal how management reads its own value.
