Coal India stock hits 52-week high after opening coal e-auctions to Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan

BENGALURU, January 2, 2026, 08:04 ET Coal India opened its online coal auctions to buyers from Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal on Friday, letting companies across the border bid directly for its coal. The state-run miner’s shares jumped to a 52-week high. The change comes as demand from Indian power producers has softened, with coal-based generation down in seven of the past 12 months as renewable capacity expanded. Coal India’s supplies to consumers fell 2.2% in the April-to-December period from a year earlier, the company said. “This move should help Coal India boost margins,” said Rupesh Sankhe, a research analyst at

Microsoft stock forecast 2026: Wall Street sees 30% upside as AI spending payoff comes into focus

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 08:12 ET Wall Street analysts are starting 2026 bullish on Microsoft (MSFT), with TipRanks showing a “Strong Buy” consensus and an average price target of $631.36 for the shares.

Google stock’s best year since 2009 sets up a tougher 2026 test for Alphabet’s AI spending

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 08:10 ET Alphabet, the parent of Google, is starting 2026 after its shares rose 65% in 2025, the company’s best annual performance since 2009. The stock hit its 2025 low in April before rallying more than 100% from those levels, CNBC reported. The rally matters now because investors are shifting from the “AI story” to results that show the spending is paying off.

That puts pressure on Google Cloud to keep gaining share
