Zomato share price declined to the lowest level in nearly six months as its profitability is expected to remain subdued in current and next financial year as Blinkit expands aggressively. In three months to December 2024, the food delivery business's profit was impacted due to Blinkit's rapid expansion plan.
Most brokerages reduced their target price and cut earning estimates as the company is focused on investing on Blinkit's expansion after assessing third quarter results.
