Why ZEE shares declined 6% today 

ZEE shares declined 6.34 per cent to hit a low of Rs 82.12 apiece. In this case, the scrip fell as the media firm reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 102 crore for the March quarter against a net profit of Rs 188.4 crore in the same quarter last year. 

MOFSL said Zee Entertainment exited a subdued FY26 on a dismal note with 7 per cent YoY decline in consolidated revenue. Its ad revenue dipped 4 per cent YoY while adjusted Ebitda plunged 51 per cent YoY, a 36 per cent miss over MOFSL estimate, due to higher A&P and other expenses. Reported profitability was even weaker due to a change in accounting of the movie rights, MOFSL said.

"Despite a continued trend of ad revenue decline for the past several years, we have built in a 3.5 per cent CAGR in ad revenue over FY26-28E, which has downside risks from the structural shift in ad spending to the digital medium," MOFSL said.
