Eternal Ltd shares soared nearly 15 per cent on Tuesday, July 22, to touch an all-time high of Rs 311.25, pushing its market capitalisation to approximately Rs 3 lakh crore. The rally came after the company reported strong Q1 FY26 Quarterly Results, showing rapid growth in its quick-commerce operations and improved margins, which boosted investor sentiment.

For the quarter ended June 2025, Eternal reported revenue from operations of Rs 7,167 crore, a 70 per cent year‑on‑year increase from Rs 4,206 crore and a 22.87 per cent rise sequentially over Rs 5,833 crore in March 2025. Profit after tax, however, fell sharply to Rs 25 crore, down 90 per cent from Rs 253 crore in June 2024 and 35.90 per cent from Rs 39 crore in the previous quarter. Adjusted revenue stood at Rs 7,563 crore, marking a 67 per cent increase year-on-year, while adjusted EBITDA dropped 42 per cent to Rs 172 crore.

Quick commerce was the key growth driver, with Net Order Value (NOV) jumping 127 per cent year-on-year and 25 per cent quarter-on-quarter to Rs 9,203 crore, surpassing food delivery NOV for the first time. The company added 243 new stores during the quarter, with adjusted EBITDA losses narrowing to Rs 162 crore from Rs 178 crore in Q4FY25. Margins improved from -2.4 per cent to -1.8 per cent of NOV. Food delivery NOV grew 13 per cent year-on-year and 9 per cent sequentially, with margins at 5.0 per cent compared to 3.9 per cent a year ago.

Eternal’s share price closed the day at Rs 295.25 per share, up 9 per cent from the previous close, recording its highest intraday gain in the last 11 months. Year-to-date, the stock has gained 6.13 per cent, with 12‑month returns of 38.36 per cent. Over the last 3 years, Eternal has delivered multibagger returns of 461 per cent, solidifying its status as a Large-Cap growth story.

The rally also increased the value of Info Edge (India) Ltd’s holding in Eternal to nearly Rs 35,000 crore, which represents over one-third of Info Edge’s current market capitalisation of around Rs 94,000 crore. Deepinder Goyal holds 3.83 per cent or 36,94,71,500 shares of the company. Today, the share price gained 15 per cent from yesterday’s close of Rs 271.70 per share, rising to around Rs 312.45 per share. Consequently, the value of Deepinder Goyal’s holding increased by approximately Rs 150.48 crore in a single day.
