Why Hindustan Zinc's stock is down despite buzzing trading volumes
Hindustan Zinc's stock dipped 0.45% to ₹460.85 on Monday, even though trading volumes were buzzing.
The drop followed its June 2025 quarter results, which showed both revenue and net profit falling compared to the previous quarter—meaning earnings per share also took a hit.
Long-term growth story shines through
Even with the recent dip, Hindustan Zinc's bigger picture looks solid: over the past year, revenue climbed from ₹28,932 crore to ₹34,083 crore and net profit jumped from ₹7,759 crore to ₹10,353 crore.
A strong return on equity (77%) and steady dividends—plus moves like bonus shares and a stock split earlier this year—are keeping investor interest alive.
Weaker quarterly results lead to short-term dip
The short-term slide is mostly about weaker quarterly results.
But with multiple interim dividends announced in 2025 and proactive corporate moves (like analyst meets and credit rating updates), many see Hindustan Zinc as one to keep an eye on for long-term growth—even if there are bumps along the way.
