Eternal (Zomato) Share Price Bounces Back: 2-Day Surge Sparks Investor Buzz Amid Q3 Strength.

Zomato's shiny new badge – spiked 7.5% over two days. Everyone's talking. Blame it on killer Q3 earnings.

What's Behind the Jump?

Q3 profit leaped 73% YoY to ₹102 crore. That's ₹1.02 billion for the math nerds. Blinkit orders jumped 105%, revenue up 122%. Street loves it – targets hiked to ₹360 by some. Price now ₹275-ish, down a tad from peak ₹305. Market cap clocks ₹2.51 lakh crore. Huge!

Eternal (Zomato) boasts a market cap of ₹2.51 trillion.

P/E ratio sits sky-high at 1,197x, way above food delivery industry peers around 500-1,000x.

Op cash flow was ₹3B in recent Q3, though Q4 dipped negative. 

Total debt ₹61B, debt-to-equity a comfy 0.20 with equity at ₹308B. Dividend yield? Zero – growth mode.

ROE turned positive ~0.3% lately. 

Q3 profit surged 73% YoY to ₹102Cr. Solid turnaround, but watch cash burns. 

Deepinder Goyal, ex-Bain guy, hated menu hassles in 2008. Built FoodieBay with Pankaj. Zomato by 2009. Spread to 20+ countries. Tough ride – losses, COVID pivot to delivery. 2021 IPO valued at $20B+. Now Eternal, post-name change. Deepinder's still CEO, no-nonsense type. Respect.

How They Make Money?

App connects you to biryani spots. Commissions 20-25% per order. Hyperpure sells veggies to chefs. Blinkit? Rocket-fast groceries in 10 mins. Gold subs for deals. Ads from brands. Quick commerce exploding – 40% GOV growth QoQ. Model: High volume, slim margins first, scale later. Like Amazon in early days.

2026? ₹345 base case, bulls say ₹505. 2030 could hit ₹600-1000 if Blinkit owns 10-min game. 2035? ₹800-1500, assuming India urbanizes more. 2040 wild – ₹2000? If they go global big. But doubts: Rivals, fuel costs, rules. Me? Bullish mildly. Buy dips?

Eternal (Zomato) Share Near 3‑Month Low: Opportunity Or Fresh Risk For Investors?

Eternal's shares – that's the new name for Zomato, right? – just dipped close to a 3-month low around ₹282. Kinda scary if you're holding, but maybe a buy signal? Let's dig in without the jargon.

Why the Price Drop?

Blame it on tough Q2 numbers. Revenue tripled to ₹13,590 crore, but net profit crashed 63% YoY to ₹65 crore. Blinkit, their quick grocery arm, switched models – now they hold inventory, spiking costs. Food delivery slowed too, hit by weak spending, rains, and Swiggy grabbing share. Shares fell 10% in a month despite that revenue pop. Feels like investors panicked over short-term pain. 

Key Financial Snapshot:

Market cap sits at ₹2.72 lakh crore – huge for food tech. P/E ratio? A whopping 1,446, way above industry avg of 168. Book value ₹32, no dividend yield. Debt to equity near zero at 0.11, cash flow positive at ₹357 crore last year. ROE 1.71%, profit growth? TTM down 75% YoY, but sales up 102%. Low debt's a plus, like a safety net in a storm. 

Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah kicked it off in 2008 as Foodiebay – just scanned menus for office folks tired of bad eats. Rebranded Zomato 2010, went global, added delivery. IPO in 2021 was wild. Now Eternal owns Zomato, Blinkit (bought 2022), Hyperpure supplies, even District tickets. Goyal's still CEO, navigating this messy food wars. 

Zomato app for restaurant finds and food drops – 44% revenue now. Blinkit zips groceries in 10 mins from dark stores, exploding but burning cash. Hyperpure sells bulk to eateries, District books events. It's platform fees, commissions, ads. Shift to owning stock in quick commerce? Risky, like jumping from Uber to running your own taxis. GOV up, but margins squeezed. 

Short-term shaky. 2026? Analysts eye ₹380-430, if Blinkit scales. 

By 2030, ₹800-1,200 possible with market share grabs – India's quick commerce could hit billions. 

2035: ₹1,500? Wild guess, assuming no recessions. 

2040: ₹2,000+, but who knows – tech eats disruptors. Opportunity if you believe in Goyal's hustle, risk if competition kills margins. Like betting on your local chaiwala going national. Watch Q3 results.

These numbers are my wildest guesses. Kindly do your own research or consult with your financial planner/advisor.
