Eternal Q3 preview

 

Food delivery platform Eternal (formerly Zomato) is set to announce its December quarter (Q3FY26) results on Wednesday.

 

According to estimates by brokerages tracked by Business Standard, Eternal is expected to report an average net profit of ₹69.4 crore for the quarter, marking an 18 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase from ₹59 crore. On a quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) basis, profit is projected to rise 7 per cent from ₹65 crore in Q2FY26.

 

 

Revenue for the quarter under review is estimated to surge 194 per cent year-on-year to an average of ₹15,884.85 crore in Q3FY26, compared with ₹5,405 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Sequentially, revenue is expected to grow 17 per cent from ₹13,590 crore reported in Q2FY26. 

 

United Spirits Q3 results

 

Bengaluru-based United Spirits Limited (USL) reported a consolidated net profit of ₹418 crore for the third quarter ended December, marking a 24.8 per cent increase from ₹335 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The Diageo subsidiary recorded a 7.6 per cent rise in consolidated revenue to ₹3,694 crore in Q3 FY26. Its PBIDT (profit before interest, depreciation and tax) grew marginally by 1.6 per cent year-on-year to ₹650 crore during the quarter.

 

On a standalone basis, USL said its net sales value (NSV) stood at ₹3,683 crore in the December quarter, up 7.3 per cent from a year ago. The growth was driven by strong performance in the top half of the portfolio. However, this was partly offset by an adverse, policy-led impact in Maharashtra and the base effect of a one-time retail pipeline fill in Andhra Pradesh in the corresponding quarter last year.

 

Within the overall NSV growth, the prestige and above (P&A) segment posted an 8.2 per cent increase, while NSV from the popular segment declined 4.6 per cent, largely due to disruptions in Maharashtra. Ebitda margin for the quarter stood at 16.8 per cent, contracting 35 basis points year-on-year, mainly on account of higher advertising and promotion (A&P) expenditure during the period.

 

 

Market preview for January 21

 

A day after Indian stock markets faced heavy selling pressure, key indices are expected to open marginally higher on Wednesday. The early indicator for the Nifty 50, GIFT Nifty, was up 0.05 per cent as of 8:00 am.

 

However, global cues remain weak amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, influencing investor sentiment. Markets across Asia continued to trade lower on Wednesday, with Japan’s Nikkei down 0.35 per cent following a rebound in bonds a day after a steep selloff.

 

US stocks posted their worst session since April of last year, according to Bloomberg, with volatility reaching its highest level since November of the previous year. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indices closed over 2 per cent lower, reflecting rising concerns over global political risks, including US President Donald Trump’s threats to European nations over the Greenland issue.
