Shares of the company have been range-bound throughout this month, but are up over 15 per cent from their March lows. However, the stock is down nearly 25 per cent from its life-highs, which it hit in December last year. The counter has fallen 17 per cent this year, compared to a 5.8 per cent advance in the benchmark Nifty50. Eternal has a total market capitalisation of ₹2.2 trillion. Outflow concerns IIFL Capital Services noted that the shares of Eternal could see passive outflows of $840 million due to the impending rebalancing, according to reports. FTSE's rebalancing alone could lead to passive outflows of about $380 million, while MSCI rejig could trigger another $460 million outflow. The counter of Eternal is included in several of FTSE's major indices, including the FTSE All-World Index, FTSE MPF All-World Index, FTSE Global Large Cap Index, and FTSE Emerging Index. The index weight reductions follow a recent cut in Eternal's foreign ownership limit (FOL), from 100 per cent to 49.5 per cent. Unlike routine adjustments that consider available foreign investment headroom, a direct FOL cut leads to a more abrupt recalibration, IIFL noted . Eternal Q4 results 2025 The company's net profit fell 77.7 per cent to ₹39 crore in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2025, as against ₹175 crore during the same period a year earlier. On a sequential basis, profit was down 33.8 per cent from ₹59 crore. The food delivery major's revenue for the quarter rose 63.7 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹5,833 crore in Q4, up from ₹3,562 crore a year earlier. The consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) declined 15 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹165 crore in Q4FY25, largely on account of the enhanced investment in expanding the company's quick commerce store network. Analysts believe Eternal's profitability could stay under pressure in the near term as the company is focused on capturing better market share, adding that the worst could be behind the company after the April-June quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY26).

Eternal shares fall over 3% as FTSE and MSCI prepare weightage cuts; $840 million outflows expected
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 26, 2025, 09:37 IST Shares of Eternal Ltd (formerly known as Zomato) declined 3.17% to Rs 230.01 in early trade on Monday, hitting an intraday low of Rs 227.95, amid concerns of heavy passive outflows worth $840 million. The stock had closed at Rs 237.55 on Friday. According to a CNBC-TV18 report citing IIFL Capital Services, global index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI are set to reduce Eternal's weightage in their respective indices due to a sharp cut in the company's foreign ownership limit (FOL) from 100% to 49.5%. This reduction has forced a recalibration of the company's investability weight, as index trackers are mandated to realign their holdings to reflect the updated FOL cap. FTSE and MSCI to drive large-scale passive outflows FTSE Russell is expected to implement the adjustment on May 27 , impacting indices such as: FTSE All-World Index FTSE MPF All-World Index FTSE Global Large Cap Index FTSE Emerging Index FTSE's rebalancing alone could lead to outflows of around $380 million (Rs 3,235 crore) . MSCI's May review could add another $460 million (Rs 3,917 crore) to the overall outflows. Unlike typical adjustments that gradually reflect investor activity, a direct FOL cut triggers an abrupt recalibration, causing the entire investable portion to be reduced in one go — escalating near-term selling pressure. Eternal's stock performance may remain volatile in the short term as global funds rebalance their portfolios based on the updated foreign holding norms.

Eternal Shares Drop Over 3% Following Weightage Cut By FTSE, MSCI; What Investors Should Know
Last Updated: Eternal is expected to witness outflows of approximately $840 million following a potential reduction in its weightage by global index providers Shares of Eternal Ltd, the parent of food delivery major Zomato, dropped over 3% in early trade on Monday following the prospect of large-scale passive outflows due to a sharp reduction in the stock's weightage by global index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI. At 9:38 AM, Eternal was trading 3.17% lower on the NSE, emerging as the biggest loser among Nifty50 constituents. The pressure comes after the company's foreign ownership limit (FOL) was slashed from 100% to 49.5%, forcing FTSE and MSCI to significantly reduce Eternal's investability weight in their indices. Unlike routine rebalancing, a direct FOL cut typically results in immediate one-time adjustments by index providers, which can trigger accelerated selling from passive funds. According to IIFL Capital Services, these changes could lead to passive outflows of nearly $840 million (approx. Rs 7,150 crore). FTSE alone may trigger outflows of $380 million (Rs 3,235 crore), while MSCI's changes could result in an additional $460 million (Rs 3,917 crore). Eternal currently features in several global indices such as the FTSE All-World Index, FTSE MPF All-World Index, FTSE Global Large Cap Index, FTSE Emerging Index, and the MSCI India Index. FTSE Russell will implement its revised investability weighting—from 82.74% to 49.5%—on May 27, while MSCI's changes will take effect on May 30. Despite the reduction, Eternal will remain part of these indices, with the total number of shares unchanged at 9,064,966,438, FTSE clarified. The FOL revision was overwhelmingly approved by Eternal's shareholders, with 99% voting in favour of the cap. However, this strategic move—likely aimed at managing long-term regulatory or strategic risks—has led to near-term market consequences. Jefferies has warned of even higher outflows, estimating the total impact could reach $1.3 billion if the stock is completely removed from MSCI's indices. The brokerage explained that if the FPI holding exceeds the revised limit, foreign investors must unwind excess shares within five trading days, selling only to domestic investors. Jefferies also noted that Eternal's conversion to an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC) could further reduce or eliminate its index weight. 'Based on MSCI's foreign ownership room calculation, Eternal could either face immediate exclusion, triggering $1.3 billion in outflows, or a partial reduction in weight, leading to $650 million in outflows during the August 2025 rebalancing," said Maheshwari from Jefferies. If the foreign ownership limit is breached before implementation, a definitive exclusion from MSCI is likely. First Published: May 26, 2025, 09:52 IST

Eternal shares tumble over 3% in early trade. Why is the stock falling?
Shares of Eternal Ltd, the parent company of food delivery major Zomato, slumped over 3% in early trade on Monday, hit by the prospect of massive passive outflows triggered by cuts to the stock's weightage in global stock was trading 3.17% lower on the NSE at 9:38 am, making it the only significant laggard among Nifty50 constituents during morning trade. The pressure stems from a sharp downward revision in the stock's investability weight by both FTSE Russell and MSCI, after a reduction in Eternal's foreign ownership limit (FOL) from 100% to 49.5%.advertisementThe move effectively limits the exposure foreign investors can have in the company, and this forces index providers to recalibrate their holdings. While routine adjustments are often phased, a direct FOL cut typically results in an abrupt one-shot change, intensifying the near-term selling pressure. According to estimates by IIFL Capital Services, the combined impact of these cuts could lead to passive outflows worth nearly $840 million, or over 7,150 crore. FTSE's rebalancing alone is expected to result in outflows of around $380 million (Rs 3,235 crore), while MSCI's review could add another $460 million (Rs 3,917 crore) to the may be noted that Eternal is currently a part of several FTSE indices, including the FTSE All-World Index, FTSE MPF All-World Index, FTSE Global Large Cap Index, and the FTSE Emerging Index.

Eternal share price falls 4% after FTSE, MSCI weight reduction; $840 million worth passive outflows likely
Eternal share price declined 4% in early trade on Monday amid expectations of substantial passive outflows following index weightage cuts by global index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI. Eternal shares dropped as much as 4% to ₹ 227.95 apiece on the BSE. According to estimates by IIFL Capital Services, Eternal, earlier known as Zomato, could witness passive outflows of approximately $840 million due to the impending rebalancing. Of this, FTSE Russell's adjustment is expected to trigger outflows of around $380 million (approximately ₹ 3,235 crore), while MSCI's scheduled May review may result in outflows worth $460 million (approximately ₹ 3,917 crore). The index weight reductions follow a recent cut in Eternal's foreign ownership limit (FOL) — from 100% to 49.5%. The FOL governs the maximum stake that foreign investors are allowed to hold in a listed entity. 'Unlike headroom-related reductions (which are implemented in a phased manner), a direct FOL cut may lead to a full investability weight reduction in a single step during this interim event,' IIFL said in a note. This one-time adjustment significantly intensifies near-term selling pressure, as the full reduction in investability weight is applied all at once, rather than being phased in over time. FTSE Russell announced on Friday that it will implement the adjustment to Eternal's investability weight on May 27. Eternal shares currently are included in several of FTSE's major indices, including the FTSE All-World Index, FTSE MPF All-World Index, FTSE Global Large Cap Index, and FTSE Emerging Index. At 9:40 AM, Eternal share price was trading 3.20% lower at ₹ 229.85 apiece on the BSE.
