Eternal reported Q1FY26 B2C Net Order Value (NOV) of INR 20,183 crore, up 55% YoY, with quick commerce NOV (INR 9,203 crore) surpassing food delivery (INR 8,967 crore) for the first time. Consolidated Adjusted Revenue grew 67% YoY to INR 7,563 crore, but Adjusted EBITDA fell 42% YoY to INR 172 crore due to ongoing investments in quick commerce and going-out. Food delivery margin held at 5% of NOV (up from 3.9% a year ago) and Blinkit margins improved to -1.8% of NOV from -2.4% in Q4. Management guides for continued Blinkit margin improvement, food delivery FY26 NOV growth of 15-20%, and expects 1pp margin lift from the transition to inventory ownership in quick commerce over the next 2-3 quarters. The company holds INR 18,857 crore in cash and confirmed a leadership change at Zomato food delivery with Aditya Mangla, the first product/engineering leader in the business's 17-year history.
Mixed-to-positive for shareholders: strong topline growth across all segments but near-term profitability pressured by Blinkit and Bistro investments. Margin guidance for Blinkit recovery, 40%+ ROCE math, and District's $3B/5-yr ambition signal long-term value creation, though FY26 will continue to see significant investment drag, especially with INR 150 crore earmarked for new initiatives.
