Zee Entertainment Share Price
Share

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 Share Price Surges Over 8% to Hit Six-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.

Q4FY25 Performance: Profit Soars Despite Ad Revenue Decline

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.

Why ZEEL Share Price Is Rallying on June 23, 2025

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:

Key Growth Initiatives Announced:

  • New Business Verticals: ZEEL plans to tap into segments such as micro dramas, user-generated content (UGC), live events, edutainment, and emerging sports to expand its audience base and diversify revenue.
  • Distribution Model Overhaul: The company is working on a revamped distribution strategy to attract and retain a larger viewership.
  • Content Enhancement: Offering content in both long and short-form formats to appeal to all age groups.
  • Media-Tech Investments: Leveraging technology to enrich viewer experience.
  • Inorganic Growth: Targeted acquisitions or partnerships in high-growth areas like digital media and music.

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.

FY26 Focus: Clear Execution Roadmap

  • Break-even Target: ZEEL aims to achieve EBITDA break-even in Z5 by FY26, from an EBITDA loss of ₹548 crore in FY25 (excluding costs borne by ZEEL Network).
  • Execution Commitment: The company has committed to a 100% execution of its business plans for the year ahead.

ZEEL Share Price Performance

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%.
