Eternal’s food delivery segment showed a modest recovery in Q2 FY26, with NoV increasing 13.8% YoY to Rs 94.2 billion (vs. 13.1% in Q1; brokerage estimate: Rs 94.7 billion), amid softer discretionary demand environment, increased competition from quick commerce, and volatile weather.

HDFC Securities Institutional Equities

Eternal Ltd.'s food delivery continues to witness subdued demand, due to softer discretionary spending, although it is improving at the margin. Meanwhile, Blinkit’s blitz-scaling continues to impress us (100%+ growth for 10 quarters with most KPIs broadly intact).

Most goodies seem priced in. We’ve largely maintained our adjusted Ebitda estimates for FY27/28.

Reduce stays with an SOTP-based target price of Rs 320/share (incl. 45x Sep-27 EV/Ebitda for food delivery; 1.8x Sep-27 NoV for Blinkit).
