Shares of penny stock Zee Media Corporation are likely to remain in focus on Monday after the company announced its results for the January-March 2026 quarter.
While the company managed to reduce its losses compared to last year, it faced a decline in revenue during the quarter.
Losses Narrowed Compared to Last Year
Zee Media Corporation reported a net loss of ₹14.32 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. In the same quarter last year, the company had posted a net loss of ₹22.68 crore.
This shows that the company’s losses have reduced significantly on a year-on-year basis. However, the company was unable to maintain revenue growth during the quarter.
The company’s revenue from January to March 2026 stood at ₹112.55 crore, compared to ₹117.48 crore in the same period last year. This indicates a decline in revenue over the past year.
Expenses Declined, Providing Some Relief
One positive factor for the company was lower expenses. Zee Media’s total expenses during the March quarter came down to ₹142.02 crore.
In the corresponding quarter last year, the company’s expenses were ₹155 crore. The reduction in costs helped the company narrow its losses despite lower revenue.

The company’s annual revenue also increased sharply. Revenue for FY26 stood at ₹571.53 crore, compared to ₹454.88 crore in FY25.
This represents a year-on-year revenue growth of nearly 26%.
