Brokerages lift Hindustan Zinc targets after June-quarter beat; HSBC sets ₹770
Hindustan Zinc's earnings beat, driven by strong realized zinc and silver prices and record-low zinc cash costs (~$851/t), prompted multiple brokerages to raise targets and EBITDA forecasts. The results provide near-term fundamental validation for base-metals and silver pricing, highlighting resilient margins despite seasonal volume softness and reinforcing expectations of cost discipline and project-led growth. This is modestly supportive for broader industrial-metals sentiment.
