Shares of Hindustan Zinc Ltd were trading marginally lower on Tuesday despite the company’s announcement of a Rs 10 per share interim dividend for the financial year 2025–26.
As per the board resolution passed on June 11, the first interim dividend of Rs 10 per equity share (500% on the face value of Rs 2) has been approved. The record date for this dividend is June 17, 2025, and the payout will be made within the statutory timeline.
Meanwhile, the company’s stock was trading at Rs 532.40, down 0.31% or Rs 1.65, at 1:13 PM on the NSE. The stock touched a day high of Rs 540.70 and a low of Rs 526.50. Hindustan Zinc’s market capitalization stood at Rs 2.25 lakh crore, and it had an average trading volume of 3.52 million shares.
Despite the dividend, the minor dip suggests that broader market conditions or profit booking might be weighing slightly on the stock. The dividend yield currently stands at 3.57%.
