Buy Zen Technologies; target of Rs 2150: Choice Equity Broking

Choice Equity Broking's report on Zen Technologies

ZEN delivered a steady Q2FY26 performance with margin holding firm despite a softer topline, reflecting strong cost-efficiency and operating discipline. The order inflow was slower due to the government’s near-term focus on emergency procurement after Operation Sindoor. Yet, the management reiterated confidence that delayed simulator and anti-drone orders, worth around INR 650 Cr., will materialise in H2FY26. The company remains fundamentally sound, supported by a debt-free balance sheet, robust EBITDA margin and a strong over INR 1,100 Cr net cash position. We believe the recent stock correction largely prices in short-term execution delays rather than any structural weakness. ZEN’s INR-6,000 Cr cumulative execution guidance by FY28 remained intact. Owing to the rising domestic and global demand for anti-drone and simulator systems, we expect a sharp rebound in order inflows in the coming quarters. ZEN is also in business negotiations with several friendly nations, which result in export opportunities.

Outlook

We maintain a positive outlook on ZEN, supported by its strong IP-led capabilities and rising global demand for counter-drone and simulation systems. Reiterating our BUY rating with a target price of INR 2,150, we value the stock at 35x FY27–28E average EPS. We expect a meaningful acceleration in order inflows and execution through FY27–28E, driving earnings and valuation re-rating.
