Eternal Ltd shares climbed 2.5% to lead Nifty 50 gainers, fueled by robust quick commerce growth via Blinkit and positive analyst outlooks despite recent corrections. High trading volumes reflect investor confidence in its market cap surpassing several index peers.
Eternal's rally underscores resilience in India's hyper-competitive quick commerce space. Formerly Zomato, the firm has pivoted aggressively, with Blinkit now driving core growth amid Swiggy and Zepto rivalry. Strategic moves like inventory ownership and store expansions signal long-term dominance.
Trading volumes spiked to 3.81 crore shares worth ₹1,08,425 lakhs, indicating sustained interest. Analysts eye bullish divergence on charts for targets up to ₹330 short-term, though high valuations warrant caution.
