Eternal, the parent of Zomato food delivery and Blinkit quick commerce, has become one of the most closely watched internet stocks on Dalal Street. Despite a Q1 profit miss, brokerages including CLSA have stayed bullish, with the current price of around Rs 289.85 trading well below the CLSA target of Rs 506, implying substantial potential upside if execution continues to improve.

Why Brokerages Remain Bullish on Eternal

Analysts pointed to three specific themes supporting their constructive view on the stock despite the earnings miss.

Strong Execution in Food Delivery and Quick Commerce

Eternal continued to show strong operational execution across its core food delivery business and its fast growing Blinkit quick commerce arm, even as headline profit numbers missed Street estimates for the quarter.

Improving Blinkit Profitability

Blinkit’s path to profitability has been improving, a key swing factor for the overall Eternal investment case given how much capital the quick commerce business has consumed in recent years.

Easing Competitive Concerns

Competitive intensity in the quick commerce space appears to be easing somewhat, which brokerages view as supportive for pricing discipline and unit economics across the sector, benefiting Eternal’s Blinkit franchise.

Short Term and 12 Month Price Outlook

Short Term Outlook 3 to 6 Months

Over the next three to six months, Eternal could see continued volatility in the Rs 260 to Rs 320 range as the market weighs the Q1 profit miss against improving Blinkit unit economics.

12 Month Analyst Target for 2026

The 12 month Eternal share price target from CLSA of Rs 506 implies more than 70 percent upside from the current price, reflecting strong long term conviction in the quick commerce and food delivery growth story despite the near term earnings miss.

Key Risks to the Target Price

Elevated Valuation Multiples

Eternal trades at a very high price to earnings multiple given its still developing profitability profile, which means the stock could see sharp corrections if growth or margin trends disappoint.

Quick Commerce Competitive Intensity

A renewed spike in competitive intensity from rival quick commerce players could pressure Blinkit’s path to sustainable profitability and delay the margin improvement brokerages are pricing in.

Regulatory and Gig Worker Cost Changes

Changes in gig worker regulations, delivery partner cost structures or local commerce policies could add cost pressure across Eternal’s food delivery and quick commerce operations.

Long term investors may find the wide gap between the current price and the target attractive, though the stock’s elevated valuation multiple warrants caution.
