Final Verdict
Zen Technologies is a high-potential defence tech play benefiting from India’s strategic shift toward indigenous military solutions. Its FY2025 results confirm strong demand, and its product leadership in simulators and anti-drone systems offers a durable moat. However, the current valuation demands patience. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹1,450–₹3,400) reflect cautious optimism—rewarding growth but respecting execution risks. Suitable only for investors with high risk tolerance and a 5-year horizon.
