Synopsis: Hindustan Zinc Limited has released its audited Q4 FY26 results along with a first interim dividend of Rs.11 per equity share, further strengthening its reputation as one of India’s most reliable cash-generating metal companies. The firm delivered strong sequential growth in both revenue and profit during the March quarter. Despite this, the stock is trading slightly lower, reflecting investor caution amid global commodity volatility.
Hindustan Zinc Limited, part of the Vedanta Group and the world’s second-largest integrated zinc producer, closed FY26 on a positive note. In its board meeting held on April 24, 2026, the company approved its financial results for both the quarter and the full year ending March 31, 2026.
A key highlight is the announcement of an interim dividend of Rs.11 per share (550%), totaling Rs.4,648 crore, with April 30, 2026 set as the record date. The company continues to benefit from strong demand in infrastructure and galvanization, while its low-cost structure supports industry-leading margins.
On April 24, 2026, Hindustan Zinc shares were trading at approximately Rs.590, compared to the previous closing price of Rs.586, reflecting a gain of 0.68%. The stock is witnessing mild buying interest following the results and dividend announcement. At the current price, the company’s market capitalization stands around Rs.2,45,470 crore, reinforcing its strong position in India’s metals sector.
In Q3 FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs.10,980 crore and total income of Rs.11,273 crore. Total expenses were Rs.6,369 crore, leading to a profit before tax of Rs.5,205 crore and a net profit of Rs.3,916 crore. The quarter reflected stable performance with moderate realizations, while margins remained strong due to disciplined cost control.
In Q4 FY26, Hindustan Zinc delivered a strong improvement across key metrics. Revenue from operations increased to Rs.13,544 crore, while total income rose to Rs.13,824 crore. Total expenses increased to Rs.7,073 crore, but stronger revenue growth offset the rise effectively. Profit before tax surged to Rs.6,751 crore, and net profit rose to Rs.5,033 crore, marking a 27% sequential increase.
Hindustan Zinc’s Q4 FY26 performance and Rs.11 interim dividend highlight its strong financial position and consistent shareholder returns. The stock’s modest gain today reflects a positive market response, supported by strong earnings momentum.
With robust cash flows, high margins, and steady demand outlook, the company enters FY27 on a strong footing. Key factors to watch include global zinc prices and cost dynamics, but overall, Hindustan Zinc remains a high-dividend, fundamentally strong player in the metals sector.
