Stock action at a glance

Why it matters
- Proof‑point for the DaaS model: The sharp revenue inflection is concentrated in services, where ZenaTech is aggregating regional survey/engineering firms and layering in autonomous flight, analytics, and inspection workflows. That mix can produce steadier, contract‑driven revenue than pure hardware sales—if integration costs are controlled and utilization remains high. GlobeNewswire
- Balance‑sheet runway vs. non‑cash swings: Working capital and total assets increased meaningfully, but reported net income is being dragged by a non‑cash $25M derivative revaluation tied to a convertible facility. Investors should separate operational cash trends from accounting remeasurements when evaluating profitability trajectories. GlobeNewswire
- Defense optionality (longer‑dated): The Green UAS step and Mesa, AZ manufacturing setup are aimed at meeting U.S. procurement requirements (e.g., NDAA‑compliant components). These initiatives typically take time to translate into revenue but can expand addressable markets if successful. GlobeNewswire
By the numbers: Q3 highlights (CAD)
- Revenue: $4.35M (+1,225% YoY)
