Analyst coverage on Korea Zinc by Douglas Kim on Smartkarma has provided insights into recent company developments. In the report “Korea Zinc Announces Cancellation of Its Treasury Shares,” it was highlighted that the company’s decision to cancel all 2.04 million treasury shares acquired last year is expected to have a positive impact on its share price. Furthermore, Korea Zinc reported better than expected earnings in 1Q25, with a significant increase in sales in strategic minerals sectors like antimony, indium, and bismuth.

However, Douglas Kim also raised concerns in the report “Is Homeplus Debacle a Key Negative Tipping Point for MBK?” regarding negative sentiments surrounding MBK Partners due to the Homeplus debacle.

Additionally, in the report “M&A for Korea Zinc: Seoul Central District Court Makes Important Rulings,” it was noted that the Seoul Central District Court’s decision to maintain the concentrated voting system may influence the M&A proceedings of Korea Zinc in favor of Chairman Choi and his allies.
