ZenaTech has announced a 27.1 percent organic revenue growth rate for its drone service operations in 2026. The company also projected that its total third quarter 2026 revenue will reach between 13.4 million and 14.8 million Canadian dollars.
Why it matters
The performance reflects the company's strategy of acquiring existing survey businesses and transitioning staff to new technology. This model allows the firm to capitalize on demand in regions with active economic development.
Drone services accounted for approximately 93 percent of the company's 9.3 million Canadian dollars in second quarter 2026 revenue. This figure follows the 2025 acquisition of 20 U.S. service locations.
