Eternal, earlier known as Zomato, is all set to report its Q1FY26 results on Monday, July 21. And the numbers look big. According to Zee Business Research, Eternal is likely to post strong growth in both revenue and profit. Why? Two key reasons: Blinkit and Hyperpure.
For those who don’t know, Blinkit is Eternal’s fast delivery service, and Hyperpure is its B2B platform for restaurant supplies. Both are booming right now.
Revenue to Rise 15% YoY
Eternal’s total revenue is expected to jump 15% to Rs 6,709 crore, compared to Rs 5,833 crore in Q1FY25. This is mainly because Blinkit’s orders are rising fast, and Hyperpure is expanding across cities.
Profit to Double
The big news is on profits. Net profit (PAT) is expected to grow 161.5% to Rs 102 crore from Rs 39 crore last year. That’s more than double! Even EBITDA (a measure of core profit) could rise 159.7% to Rs 187 crore, up from Rs 72 crore.
Margins are also improving. Operating margin may go up to 2.8%, compared to 1.2% last year. This shows Eternal is becoming more efficient.

What’s Driving This Growth?
The stars of the show are Blinkit and Hyperpure. Blinkit’s Gross Order Value (GOV) has grown big, meaning more people are using it often. Hyperpure is also becoming a strong source of revenue as more restaurants depend on it for daily supplies.
Also, there could be a boost from non-core income, like interest or returns from investments, which adds to the profit.
What to Watch in the Results?
- Blinkit’s growth in orders and revenue share
- Hyperpure’s expansion into more cities
- Profitability trends in food delivery
- Commentary on future plans and how Eternal plans to invest more
- Other income impact on the profit numbers
Eternal is no longer just a food delivery app. It’s becoming a serious player in quick commerce and B2B services. With Blinkit scaling fast and Hyperpure gaining ground, this quarter could show that the company is ready for a new phase of growth.
Investors will be watching closely. If numbers beat estimates, expect the stock to stay in focus.
