Hindustan Copper shares fell 3.3% to Rs 515 on December 31, influenced by a dip in copper prices after a significant surge. Record copper prices in 2025 were driven by global supply disruptions and strong demand from electrification and AI infrastructure. Despite near-term caution and profit-taking, analysts suggest a 'buy on dips' strategy, noting the broader positive trend for copper and the company's strong market position.
