2-Minute Summary
Z-Tech delivered a strong Q3 with revenue surging 74% YoY to ₹42 crore, driven by a 4x jump in the geotechnical (Terra) segment from new flood mitigation and mining stabilization projects. EBITDA grew 58% to ₹11.6 crore, though margins compressed ~280bps due to mix shift toward lower-margin geotech work. PAT rose 51% to ₹7.62 crore. Management reiterated FY26 guidance of ₹150 crore revenue and ₹40 crore PAT, implying a massive Q4 ramp. The parks vertical is transitioning from EPC to an asset-light O&M model, targeting 15+ operational parks by April 2026 (from 4 at start of year) and 100 parks in 3 years. Recurring revenue from ticketing/F&B is expected to reach 25% of parks revenue next year. Key risk: park inauguration delays due to government VIP schedules could push operational revenue recognition into FY27.
