Korea Zinc posts record Q2 profit on strong metals demand

Korea Zinc recorded its highest-ever operating profit in the second quarter of this year, mainly driven by robust demand for key metals. The company said Wednesday that its second-quarter sales revenue and operating profit jumped to 6.37 trillion won ($4.46 billion) and 587 billion won, respectively, rising 66.6 percent and 126.8 percent from a year earlier. Korea Zinc also marked its 106th consecutive quarter of operating profit since the company began mandatory quarterly earnings disclosures.
