2026-10-27 companies

Toronto, Monday, 26 October 2026.
Surpassing its entire 2025 sales in early 2026, ZenaTech projects 2027 operational breakeven, balancing 425% revenue expansion with disciplined fiscal management despite substantial early growth investments.

ZenaTech’s Remarkable Revenue Surge in 2026

ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA, FSE: 49Q, BMV: ZENA) has demonstrated an extraordinary financial trajectory in 2026, with first-half revenue reaching C$17.73 million (approximately US$12.6 million), representing a staggering 425% year-over-year increase [1][2][3][4][5][6]. This performance eclipsed the company’s entire 2025 revenue of C$12.9 million by approximately 37%, marking a significant inflection point in its growth story [4][6]. The Drone as a Service (DaaS) segment proved to be the primary revenue driver, accounting for 93% of total first-half revenue with C$16.44 million (US$11.7 million) [1][2][3][4][5][6].

Sequential Growth Accelerates in Q3 2026

The company’s momentum continued into the third quarter, with preliminary revenue estimates for Q3 2026 ranging between C$13.4 million and C$14.8 million (US$9.5 million to US$10.5 million), representing sequential growth of 44% to 59% over the previous quarter’s C$9.33 million [1][2][3][4][5][6]. This growth trajectory follows Q2 2026’s 316% year-over-year increase to C$9.33 million, driven by both organic expansion and acquisitions [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Revenue growth has been particularly robust across ZenaTech’s global operations, with average organic revenue growth of 27.1% across approximately 20 DaaS locations acquired in 2025 [5][6].

Path to Profitability: The 2027 Breakeven Target

Despite these impressive revenue figures, ZenaTech continues to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term profitability. Management has established a strategic target to achieve adjusted EBITDA breakeven by 2027, emphasizing that this remains an internal planning goal rather than a guaranteed financial outcome [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The company’s leadership, including CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., has emphasized that breakeven is a secondary objective to building a scalable technology platform and creating long-term shareholder value [1][2][4][5][6]. Passley noted, ‘Achieving breakeven is an important objective, but we are not building ZenaTech for a single financial reporting period.’ The breakeven timeline is subject to various factors including top-line execution, acquisition integration costs, supply chain conditions, and market acceptance of new technologies [4].

Financial Position and Strategic Flexibility

As of June 30, 2026, ZenaTech reported a strong balance sheet with C$34.6 million (US$24.5 million) in cash and marketable securities, C$149.3 million (US$105.9 million) in total assets, and C$91.4 million (US$64.8 million) in shareholders’ equity [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The company’s financial position provides substantial flexibility to pursue strategic investments that could potentially defer the 2027 breakeven timeline, including acquisitions, defense programs, international expansion, or investments in emerging technologies [1][2][3][4][5][6]. This approach reflects a balanced strategy of aggressive revenue growth combined with disciplined capital allocation, a model that has become increasingly common among high-growth technology firms transitioning from scaling to profitability phases.
