2026-10-21 · 1 source · Business Standard Markets

In short

Hindustan Zinc’s shares rose about 4% after its Q2 update. Jefferies said the stock is trading below its long-term average EV/EBITDA, and that a rebound in silver prices may matter most for the stock.

This matters because silver prices could help earnings and the share price. The reporting does not say when prices will recover or give any new company guidance.

What the reporting says

Hindustan Zinc rose about 4% after its Q2 update, with Jefferies saying the stock trades below its long-term average EV/EBITDA and that a recovery in silver prices would be key for performance. The note points to valuation support and metal-price recovery as the main drivers. The immediate next step is unclear, and no official filing or management comment is provided in the available reporting.

Why it matters

Hindustan Zinc’s shares moved higher after a markets note linked the stock’s outlook to silver prices and valuation. Jefferies said the company trades below its long-term average EV/EBITDA, suggesting room for re-rating if metal prices improve. The available reporting does not include the company’s own guidance, the exact Q2 results, or whether the move was sustained beyond the session.
