Can Swiggy ride the sentiment wave after Eternal's blowout quarter?
ADVERTISEMENT Eternal's Q1 report showed a 70% year-on-year jump in revenue, driven by strong performances in Blinkit and food delivery. Notably, quick commerce Net Order Value (NOV) surpassed food delivery for the first time in a full quarter, reflecting a significant shift in consumer demand.This growth sparked optimism among investors, with brokerages like Jefferies upgrading Eternal to a Buy, calling Blinkit's momentum 'underestimated.' The upbeat sentiment quickly spilled over to Swiggy, which also operates in the high-growth quick commerce space.
Swiggy stock, currently trading at Rs 417, has gained 21% over the last three months. However, it remains 32% below its 52-week high of Rs 617 and is down 23% year-to-date. Analysts believe this recent upward momentum could continue if technical indicators hold.
According to Kunal V Parar, VP – Technical Research & Algo at Choice Broking, the stock has formed a Cup and Handle pattern and is trading above both its 50-day and 100-day moving averages.'A bullish crossover and RSI above 70 indicate strong momentum. A breakout above the neckline could push the stock towards Rs 453 and potentially Rs 525,' said Parar.
ADVERTISEMENT Drumil Vithlani, Technical Analyst at Bonanza, added that Swiggy has been forming higher highs and higher lows since June, suggesting a continued positive undertone.'As long as the stock holds above Rs 400, we expect a gradual move towards Rs 440 in the near term,' Vithlani noted.
ADVERTISEMENT Swiggy is yet to announce its Q1FY26 results, but given Eternal's strong revenue growth and sector-wide momentum, investors may position early in anticipation of similar trends.If Swiggy's numbers confirm rising traction in food delivery and quick commerce, analysts believe the stock could reclaim higher levels last seen earlier this year.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Ant Group to exit Eternal, sell shares worth $612mn
MUMBAI: China's Ant Group will exit Eternal (formerly Zomato) by selling its remaining 1.9% stake worth Rs 5,370 crore ($612 million) through one or more block deals on Thursday, term sheet of the deal showed. This will be the second startup exit for the Chinese firm this week after Paytm. Ant Group, an affiliate of Chinese tech giant Alibaba Group, had first invested in Eternal in early 2018. Ant Group, through Antfin Singapore Holding, will offload 18.8 crore shares at a floor price of Rs 285 per share, a 4.6% discount to Eternal's closing price of Rs 298.85 on the NSE on Wednesday. Eternal did not comment on the development when contacted by TOI. Ant Group has been paring stakes in Eternal since last year. In Aug 2024, it had nearly halved its stake in the company to a little over 2% through two separate block deals worth over Rs 4,000 crore. An early backer in local startups, the Chinese investor seems to be reducing its India exposure. Earlier this week, Ant Group exited fintech Paytm by selling its remaining 5.8% stake worth over Rs 3,000 crore. Eternal's founder, Deepinder Goyal, currently holds about 3.8% stake in the company. Goyal, however, is not classified as a promoter. With businesses in food delivery and quick-commerce, Eternal has capped its foreign shareholding at 49.5%. As of June 2025, the foreign shareholding was about 43%, the company said in a recent letter to shareholders.
