Eternal Ltd.'s shares declined as much as 5.3% during the day after the company reported a 34% drop in net profit for the January–March quarter, falling short of Bloomberg consensus estimates of Rs 42 crore.
Despite the profit miss, Zomato's revenue grew 7.9% to Rs 5,833 crore—beating street estimates of Rs 5,824 crore. Blinkit, its quick commerce arm, added a record 294 net new stores during the quarter and remains on track to hit 2,000 stores by December 2025.
Zomato also announced the shutdown of its Zomato Quick and Zomato Everyday verticals, citing the lack of a viable profitability roadmap without compromising user experience.
Eternal Ltd.'s fourth-quarter results for financial year 2025 sparked mixed reactions across brokerages. While the numbers broadly aligned with expectations, management's commentary—particularly around competitiveness in quick commerce—triggered cautious tones.
Still, most brokerages maintained their bullish stance. Citi, Nomura, and JPMorgan reiterated their ‘buy' or ‘overweight' ratings, with target prices between Rs 250 and Rs 290. Jefferies, however, chose to “stay on the sidelines” despite acknowledging that the quarter was better than anticipated.
