Zee Entertainment’s share price jumped over 8% as the company outlined plans to achieve EBITDA break-even in Z5 and surpass its historical EPS over the next three years. The sharp rally was further supported by record trading volumes, which hit a nine-month high.
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) share price surged over 8% as of 11:26 AM on the NSE, marking its sharpest single-day rally in over two months. With this rise, the ZEEL stock is now trading at a fresh six-month high. The trading volume also hit a significant milestone, with over 6 crore shares exchanged on NSE—its highest volume in the past nine months.
The surge comes in the wake of strong Q4FY25 results and renewed investor optimism driven by the company’s strategic growth roadmap for FY26.
ZEEL posted a 14-fold jump in consolidated net profit at ₹188.4 crore in Q4FY25, compared to the same quarter last year. This figure includes one-time gains from its portfolio rationalisation initiatives and the reclassification of Margo Networks as a discontinuing operation, contributing ₹7.9 crore.
However, revenue from operations saw a marginal rise of 0.7% YoY to ₹2,184.1 crore. This modest increase was largely weighed down by a sharp 24.56% decline in advertising revenue, which dropped to ₹837.5 crore.
The rally is primarily driven by management commentary and strategic disclosures made in the company’s latest investor presentation, outlining its growth initiatives and focus areas for FY26:
The company stated that the capital deployed in these initiatives aims to enhance profitability over the next three years and surpass its historically highest earnings per share (EPS), even on a larger capital base.
In the last three months, ZEEL share price has gained 37.53%, while on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the stock is up 20.66%.
