Hindustan Zinc announced its Q1 FY26 results with revenue of ₹7,771 crores, down 4% year-on-year, hit by lower volumes and softer zinc and lead prices. Profit after tax came in at ₹2,234 crores, down 5% year-on-year, while EBITDA was ₹3,860 crores with an industry-leading margin of around 50%. The company clocked its highest-ever Q1 mined metal production at 265 kilotonnes and its lowest-ever Q1 zinc cost of production at $1,010 per tonne, an improvement of 9% year-on-year. Silver continued to be a major profit driver, contributing about 41% to profitability. The Board declared a first interim dividend of ₹10 per share (totalling ₹4,225 crores), approved a 250 kilotonne-per-annum integrated metal expansion worth around ₹12,000 crores, and won two critical mineral blocks (Potash in Rajasthan and Rare Earth Elements in Uttar Pradesh).
Short-term profits dipped due to weaker commodity prices, but record production, falling costs, a healthy ~50% EBITDA margin, and a generous dividend cushion the impact for shareholders. The expansion plan and critical mineral acquisitions point to long-term growth, which could be positive for the stock over time.
