📈 The Numbers That Prove It's Working
ZENA isn't talking about growth. It's reporting it. ⁽²⁾
- 💰 Q3 2025 revenue: $4.35M, up 1,225% year-over-year ⁽²⁾
- 📦
DaaS contributed $3.57M in Q3 alone vs. zero in Q3 2024 ⁽²⁾
- 📊 Nine-month 2025 revenue: $7.73M vs. $2M for all of 2024 ⁽²⁾
- 💵 Working capital: $23.6M vs. $3.4M at year-end 2024 ⁽²⁾
- 🏦 Cash reserves and marketable securities: $19.5M as of September 30, 2025 ⁽²⁾
The DaaS model changes the math permanently. Hardware sales are lumpy. Service revenue repeats. Every acquisition adds recurring customers. Every
new vertical expands the opportunity. ⁽⁹⁾
🔑 Certification + Key Alignment: The Setup Details
- 🎯 Green UAS certification in progress for ZenaDrone 1000, the IQ Nano, and IQ Square: the industry’s fast-track pathway to Blue UAS, which is the Pentagon procurement standard ⁽¹⁰⁾
- 🏛️ Congressional engagement: ZenaDrone representatives
met with key offices and staff of Members of Congress in Washington, D.C. to discuss drone innovation and U.S. manufacturing plans ⁽¹¹⁾
- 🔬 Quantum navigation system in development for GPS-denied environments: a capability increasingly critical to modern defense ⁽¹¹⁾
- 👤 60%+ insider control: CEO Dr. Shaun Passley controls over 50% of the voting stock and owns ~20% directly. Top three shareholders control over 54%. Tight float:
~38.9M shares outstanding ⁽¹⁾
- ⭐ Maxim Group BUY rating — Five-star analyst Matthew Galinko with a $7 price target, reiterated November 2025 ⁽¹⁾
🎯 Bottom Line
Here's why ZENA should be front of radar:
- 4 defense press releases in 12 days: ZenaDrone 2000, IQ Glider, patent filed,
Interceptor P-1. That's a roadmap, not a coincidence ⁽³⁾⁽⁵⁾⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾
- American-made drones with completed paid military trials with the Air Force and Navy ⁽¹⁾
- DJI ban just handed domestic manufacturers the market and ZENA is already building an NDAA-compliant supply chain in Arizona and Taiwan ⁽⁴⁾
- 1,225% revenue growth in Q3. This isn't a concept, it's execution ⁽²⁾
- Maritime defense patents filed, ZenaDrone 2000 + IQ Glider +
Interceptor P-1 in active development ⁽³⁾⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾
- Green and Blue UAS certification pathway underway, the gateway to Pentagon procurement ⁽10⁾
20 DaaS locations nationwide and internationally through acquisition. Recurring revenue. 25 acquisitions planned by June 2026. ⁽²⁾
