Zen Technologies share price continued their downward trend for the third consecutive session after the company posted weaker Q3 FY25 results. The stock plunged 10% in today’s session, extending its 3-day loss to 33%.

Zen Technologies share price fell 10% to ₹972.00 as of 1:37 PM IST on February 18. The stock opened at ₹1,059.90, reaching a high of ₹1,059.90 and a low of ₹972.00.

Sequential Decline Despite Yearly Growth in Q3 Performance

Zen Technologies reported a 22% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹38.62 crore, primarily driven by higher other income. However, net profit nearly halved from ₹65.24 crore in the previous quarter, reflecting a sharp sequential decline. Revenue grew 44% year-on-year to ₹141.52 crore, up from ₹98.08 crore but saw a 41% drop from ₹241.69 crore in Q2, largely due to shipment delays and a shift in revenue booking to the next quarter. 

EBITDA margins weakened to 35.90% from 47.34% in the same period last year but improved slightly from 35.12% in the previous quarter.

Revenue Guidance and Order Pipeline for Future Growth

Despite missing revenue expectations in Q3 FY25, Zen Tech remains optimistic about its future. The company expects ₹800 crore worth of inflows in Q4 FY26, providing revenue visibility beyond FY25. It maintains its ₹900 crore revenue target for FY25 with an EBITDA margin target of 35%. Zen Tech is also expanding its simulator portfolio with the acquisition of ARIPL, a naval simulator firm, and has signed MoUs and partnerships for air-based simulation solutions.
