Market cap was Rs 2,62,688.08 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"univest-article-timestamp\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#5F6673;margin:8px 0 18px 0;;margin-top:0!important;margin-bottom:0!important;\"><strong>Published:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31 August 2026 at 9:20:12 AM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">Hindustan Zinc fell to Rs 594.20, down 4.42% today, with market capitalisation at Rs 2,62,688.08 crore. The Hindustan Zinc Share Price move came without a verified company-specific catalyst in the supplied data.<\/p>\n<p>Hindustan Zinc Share Price moved lower today, with the stock ending at Rs 594.20 after a 4.42% decline. The move reduced the stock by Rs 27.50 from the previous close of Rs 621.70, while market capitalisation remained at Rs 2,62,688.08 crore. In the supplied Hindustan Zinc Stock News data, the price event is clear, but no company-specific catalyst is established. That makes the session relevant mainly as a price action update rather than a reason-led move.<\/p>\n<p>For readers tracking Hindustan Zinc Share Price Today, the decline is important because it came after an opening at Rs 603.80 and a day high of the same level, before the stock touched a low of Rs 592.05. Univest notes the day\u2019s move as a factual share price fall, and the available numbers allow a review of valuation, sector context and peer positioning. In short, the Hindustan Zinc Share Price story today is about the decline itself, the company\u2019s Large Cap profile and how the stock compares within the non-ferrous metals space.<\/p>\n<div

The stock opened at Rs 603.80, which also marked the day high, and then moved to a low of Rs 592.05 before settling at Rs 594.20. That leaves the stock Rs 27.50 below the previous close of Rs 621.70, equal to a 4.42% decline. The turnover was Rs 4.33 crore.<\/p>\n<p>As per the supplied classification, Hindustan Zinc is a Large Cap company, and its market capitalisation stands at Rs 2,62,688.08 crore. The fact pattern is straightforward: Hindustan Zinc Share Price Today weakened during the session and closed below both the previous close and the opening level. The move is material enough to appear in Hindustan Zinc Stock News and Hindustan Zinc Share Price Fall searches, but the supplied data does not establish a reason behind it.<\/p>\n<p>From a market-news perspective, this is a clean Hindustan Zinc Share Price Update: the session had a tight range between Rs 603.80 and Rs 592.05, the close was nearer the low than the open, and the stock finished with a clear day-on-day decline. That sets up the next question for investors: how does this price sit against fundamentals and the broader sector backdrop?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hindustan_Zinc_HINDZINC_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Hindustan Zinc (HINDZINC) Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 2,62,688.08 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">15.39x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">9.35x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">76.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">69.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>EPS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 40.39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Book Value Per Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 66.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.61%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The Hindustan Zinc Share Price fall comes against a set of financial ratios that remain central to any Hindustan Zinc Fundamental Analysis. The stock trades at a P\/E of 15.39 and a P\/B of 9.35. Its EPS is Rs 40.39, which is the earnings attributable to each share, while book value is Rs 66.5 per share, showing the accounting net worth behind each share. Dividend yield is 1.61%.<\/p>\n<p>Return ratios in the supplied data are elevated: ROE is 76.94% and ROCE is 69.83%. These figures describe profitability on equity and capital employed, but they should be read alongside valuation rather than in isolation. The market capitalisation of Rs 2,62,688.08 crore and the Large Cap label place the company among the biggest names in the sector by size, not by quality. For Hindustan Zinc Share Price readers, the key point is that the decline happened even as the company\u2019s reported return ratios remain far above the sector benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>In a stock analysis context, Hindustan Zinc Stock News today is therefore not about weak reported fundamentals. Instead, the available numbers show a company with a high P\/B, a moderate P\/E relative to peers in the same industry, and a sizeable market value. Univest frames this as a factual Hindustan Zinc Share Price news event that needs valuation and sector context more than narrative speculation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_and_Industry_Context\"><\/span><strong>Sector and Industry Context<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Non &#8211; Ferrous Metals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Metal &#8211; Non Ferrous<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Scope<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">same industry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">15.39x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">19.35x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/E<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">25.37x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark P\/E Range<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">5.7x to 129.59x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">9.35x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">1.93x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average P\/B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">2.06x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">76.94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">15.93%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">-13.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">69.83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">18.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">25.82%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Company Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 2,62,688.08 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Median Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 434.41 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Benchmark Average Market Cap<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 21,018.6 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Hindustan Zinc operates in the Non &#8211; Ferrous Metals sector and the Metal &#8211; Non Ferrous industry. The supplied sector snapshot covers 34 companies in the same industry, which is useful for benchmarking Hindustan Zinc Share Price against sector norms. The company\u2019s P\/E of 15.39 is below the sector median of 19.35 and below the sector average of 25.37. Its P\/B of 9.35 is well above the sector median of 1.93 and the sector average of 2.06.<\/p>\n<p>On profitability, Hindustan Zinc\u2019s ROE of 76.94% is far above the sector median of 15.93%, while ROCE of 69.83% is also above the sector median of 18.91%. The market cap of Rs 2,62,688.08 crore is higher than the sector median market cap of Rs 434.41 crore and also exceeds the sector average of Rs 21,018.6 crore.
