Hindustan Zinc Latest Update

Hindustan Zinc's board is set to meet tomorrow, June 11, 2025, to consider and approve the first interim dividend for FY2025-26. The record date for this potential dividend has been fixed as June 17, 2025, and the trading window for company securities is currently closed for designated persons until June 13. This anticipation has contributed to a recent uptick in the stock's performance. The company recently reported strong financial results for Q4 FY25 and the full FY25. Q4 FY25 saw a 47.35% YoY surge in consolidated net profit to ₹3,003 crore and a 20.37% increase in revenue to ₹9,087 crore, driven by improved operational efficiencies and cost management. For the full FY25, Hindustan Zinc achieved its second-highest ever revenue of ₹34,083 crore (18% YoY growth) and EBITDA of ₹17,465 crore (28% YoY growth), with PAT increasing by 33% to ₹10,353 crore. Looking ahead, Hindustan Zinc is aggressively expanding its portfolio into critical minerals. The CEO expects rare earth minerals to contribute 30% of the company's revenue within the next five years, having already established an exploration company for this. Additionally, the company is focusing on maximizing silver production, which contributes a significant portion of its earnings, especially if zinc prices don't see substantial increases. Hindustan Zinc has also secured India's first potash and rare earth element critical mineral blocks, aligning with its long-term strategy of securing high-quality assets and supporting national mineral security.
