Hindustan Zinc reported Q1 FY26 consolidated revenue from operations of ₹7,771 crore, down about 4.4% from ₹8,130 crore in Q1 FY25. Net profit stood at ₹2,234 crore versus ₹2,345 crore, a decline of roughly 4.7%, with EPS of ₹5.29 against ₹5.55. Operating margin held steady at 38% and net profit margin at 29%, indicating broadly stable profitability despite lower topline. The Board declared an interim dividend of ₹10 per share on June 11, 2025, totaling ₹4,225 crore, which reduced net worth from ₹13,326 crore to ₹11,345 crore and pushed the debt-equity ratio up to 1.19 from 0.80. Statutory auditors S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP issued an unmodified (clean) review report, though they highlighted the recent short-seller allegations against Vedanta Group entities, including HZL, as an emphasis-of-matter note; management has called the allegations baseless and made no adjustments.
Results are modestly weak on a year-on-year basis, with revenue and profit both declining, but margins and earnings quality remain intact. The large dividend payout has meaningfully increased leverage on the balance sheet, which investors should monitor, while the short-seller overhang is a key risk that could weigh on sentiment even though auditors did not modify their opinion.
