Jefferies Raises Hindustan Zinc Target, Prefers It Over Hindalco Amid Metal Price Shifts
Jefferies raised its target price for Hindustan Zinc to Rs 750, citing strong zinc and silver prices driven by supply constraints and market recovery, leading to a nearly 3% rise in its shares. Conversely, Hindalco shares fell about 1% as aluminium prices declined and earnings estimates were lowered. The brokerage maintained a 'Buy' rating on Hindustan Zinc and a 'Hold' on Hindalco, highlighting a more favorable earnings outlook for the zinc and silver producer compared to the aluminium major.
