What Is ZenaTech's Investment Narrative?

For ZenaTech to make sense as a holding, you have to believe its Drone as a Service model can eventually justify today’s rich sales multiple despite deep, growing losses and a short cash runway. The IQ Quad launch and quantum prototype work both support that story by tightening the link between hardware, data, and higher-value defense and infrastructure services, but they also likely increase near term cash burn and execution risk. With the stock rebounding strongly year to date after a weak 1-year return, the market already seems to be pricing in some success from these initiatives. That makes the key near term catalysts fairly clear: successful IQ Quad deployment across DaaS sites, progress on the five qubit prototype, and disciplined integration of acquired service firms.

However, this push into quantum and DaaS also sharpens one risk investors should not ignore. Our valuation report here indicates ZenaTech may be overvalued.
