The Hindustan Zinc share price opened at Rs 559.85 on 21 Oct 2026, up 3.98% from Rs 538.40, and that was the day’s high. By 11:20 AM IST it traded at Rs 537.65, down 0.14%, so the gap-up had faded completely (my calculation). Q2 FY27 net profit rose 142% to Rs 6,412 crore on revenue of Rs 15,093 crore, up 77%. The stock is still about 27% below its 52-week high of Rs 733.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hindustan Zinc share price gapped up about 4% to Rs 559.85 at the open on 21 Oct 2026 after the company reported record Q2 FY27 results, with net profit up 142% to Rs 6,412 crore, EBITDA at a record Rs 9,285 crore and revenue up 77% to Rs 15,093 crore. The jump in profit came from higher silver and zinc prices and a 29% fall in zinc cost to $703 a tonne, and silver revenue more than doubled to Rs 4,111 crore. The opening gain then faded fully, and the stock traded near Rs 538 by late morning, below its 50-day average of Rs 575.59 and with a 14-day RSI of 36.7. Whether to buy Hindustan Zinc or its parent Vedanta depends on whether you expect metal prices to stay high, so the levels below are reference points and not a target or stop-loss recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Hindustan Zinc share price closed at Rs 538.40 on 19 Oct, down 0.30%, before the results came out after market hours. The first session after the Q2 results in my data is 21 Oct, and the Hindustan Zinc share price opened 3.98% higher, touched Rs 559.85 and then slid back to the previous close.<\/p>\n
