Zee Entertainment shares nosedive after ₹100 crore-plus Q4 loss
Mumbai/IBNS: The share prices of Zee Entertainment Enterprises dropped over 6 percent after the company reported a net loss in the fourth quarter of FY 2025-26, media reports said.
Company slips into loss in Q4
Zee Entertainment Enterprises reported a consolidated net loss of around Rs. 102-104 crore in the January-March quarter of FY26.
The company had posted a profit of nearly Rs. 188 crore during the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
The sharp decline in profitability reportedly weighed heavily on investor sentiment, triggering a sell-off in the stock.
- Revenue fell around 5-7% year-on-year to nearly ₹2,025 crore.
- Weak advertising demand hurt earnings, especially amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that impacted ad spending.
- Expenses rose sharply due to higher content costs, movie rights amortisation changes, legal expenses, and increased spending on launches and publicity.
- Despite the loss, Zee5’s digital business improved significantly, with subscription revenue rising and operating losses narrowing.
- The company also announced a final dividend of ₹2 per share.
