Overview

  • Eternal, formerly Zomato, posted consolidated revenue of Rs 5,833 crore in Q4 FY25, a 63.8% year-on-year increase.
  • Net profit fell sharply by 77.7% to Rs 39 crore, highlighting the challenge of balancing growth with profitability.
  • Blinkit, the quick commerce arm, reported heavy EBITDA losses of Rs 236–250 crore, driven by the addition of nearly 300 new stores in the quarter.

  • Analyst forecasts of strong revenue growth but reduced profitability were largely accurate, reflecting Eternal's strategic focus on scaling its quick commerce segment.
