About the company ZIL
Security pageThe Likhachev Plant is a historic Moscow automotive enterprise that built trucks for more than eighty years. Mass production of vehicles has been halted, and the industrial site in central Moscow is being converted into a residential and business district. The shares trade under the ticker ZILL.
What the company does
A business like this can no longer be understood as a carmaker. Once production has stopped, what the company amounts to is defined by what it has left: land, buildings and liabilities.
An industrial site within Moscow's city limits is a rare and expensive asset: the city is short of plots for development, and the former factory grounds are worth considerably more than the production that used to operate on them.
So the question for a shareholder here is not "how many trucks were sold" but how the site will be disposed of and what the company will receive from its redevelopment. The answer depends on the decisions of the owners and the city authorities, not on the vehicle market.

Business review
Strengths and weaknesses describe the business itself. Opportunities and threats describe what may happen around it.
Strengths
- Industrial land within Moscow's city limits is a rare and expensive asset.
- Converting the site into a residential and business district creates value.
- The shortage of plots for development in the city supports the price of land.
- The historic name is widely recognised and can be used in new projects.
Weaknesses
- The automotive business in its former shape no longer exists: no operating revenue can be expected from it.
- The fate of the site is determined by the decisions of the owners and the city authorities.
- Liabilities from the earlier period may weigh on the company.
- The historic name is misleading as to what the company amounts to today.
Opportunities
- Industrial land in Moscow is rising in value along with the property market.
- Programmes to redevelop industrial zones are supported by the city.
- Demand for urban land for development remains high.
- Leasing out space brings in income that does not require any production.
Threats
- Production activity has practically ceased, while the costs remain.
- Decisions on the fate of the site are taken by the city and the major shareholders.
- Maintaining the old factory buildings costs more than the income they generate.
- The shares are illiquid, and trades are rare.
Frequently asked questions
Does ZIL make trucks today?
Mass production of vehicles has been halted. Limited output of vehicles and components continues, but the enterprise is no longer the automobile plant it once was.
What, then, is the company?
Above all a property complex: the land and buildings of the former industrial site in Moscow, which is being converted into a residential and business district.
Why is factory land in the city so expensive?
Because plots for development are scarce in Moscow, and former industrial zones are one of the few remaining resources. The value of such land usually exceeds the value of the production that used to operate on it.
Issuer profile
What the company does
The company is classified under the «Industrials» sector, using the taxonomy we apply when comparing securities with one another.
The same sector holds 22 issuers on the platform, and their figures are computed by one method — so this company's revenue, profit and leverage can be compared with them directly.
The company is registered in Russia and identified in regulatory disclosure by tax number 7725043886. That number locates its statements in state registries regardless of how its name is spelled — and the spelling differs even between official documents.
Listed securities
The issuer has 1 security listed: 1 share class. All are shown on this page, including those trading in different modes and different currencies.
Across Moscow Exchange quotation list levels the securities split as follows: 1 at level 3. The level reflects how strict the disclosure, turnover and track-record requirements the issue meets are — not how attractive the investment is.
Financial statements
The most recent annual report we hold is for 2025 under RAS. The standard is named for a reason: IFRS and RAS compute the same quantities by different rules, disagree by design and are never averaged.
Revenue for 2025 was 4.56B ₽.
That is 14.8 % more than in 2024, when revenue was 3.97B ₽. The comparison stays within one reporting standard — otherwise the growth could turn out to be a change of accounting rules and nothing more.
Net income for 2025 was 2.64B ₽.
Of every unit of revenue, 57.9 % remained as net income. This is the ratio of two figures already named above rather than a separate line from the report: comparing it across companies is meaningful only within one sector and one reporting standard.
Equity stands at 40.12B ₽ against total assets of 40.59B ₽. The difference between the two is the company's liabilities, and the larger it is relative to equity, the more the business depends on borrowed money.
