Hindustan Zinc shares are under scrutiny following a 6% drop in silver prices to $73 per ounce, attributed to year-end profit-taking. Despite this dip, silver is on track for historic 2025 gains, up 157% year-to-date, driven by monetary easing, geopolitical risks, and strong demand. Jefferies maintains a Buy rating, highlighting the company's advantage from high metal prices and cost efficiencies, projecting significant EPS growth.
