The company operates licensing systems for producers across multiple kiwifruit varieties including Green, SunGold, Organic SunGold, and the premium RubyRed variant, and generates revenue through grower payments, licence fees, and export sales. In May 2025, independent investment bank Northington Partners valued Zespri's enterprise value at NZD 1,679–1,874 million on a cash/debt-free basis, with a corresponding estimated market value range of NZD 6.82–7.41 per share (or NZD 5.67–6.26 ex-dividend). This valuation supported a share buyback price of NZD 5.90 announced in July 2025. For the financial year ending June 2025, Zespri reported record revenue of NZD 440 million, up 7% from the prior year, and EBITDA of NZD 96 million, a 26% increase from NZD 76 million in FY2024.

The enterprise value to FY2025 EBIT multiple range implied by the valuation was 8.1x–9.0x. Strong global demand for kiwifruit, particularly in Europe and North America, drove Zespri's growth trajectory, with the company selling approximately 215 million trays in the 2025/26 season and forecasting record per-hectare returns across all fruit categories. |
