Eternal stock (ISIN INE758T01015) was trading at INR 328.05 on the NSE on October 7, 2026, down INR 0.95 or 0.29 percent from the previous close. The company allotted 4,179,012 stock options under its employee stock option plan on October 1, 2026, according to StockFin.
ESOP allotment adds a fresh corporate event
The option allotment is the latest company-specific event tied to Eternal in the available filing coverage. The NSE identifies Eternal Limited under the ETERNAL symbol and confirms the ISIN INE758T01015, with the security listed in the equity segment.
The broader operating picture remains centered on rapid revenue growth and thin profitability. In Q1 FY27, revenue from operations reached INR 20,211 crore, compared with INR 17,292 crore in Q1 FY26, a 16.9 percent increase, according to Zee Business.
Revenue rises as profit remains thin
Adjusted EBITDA increased 223 percent year over year to INR 555 crore in the June 2026 quarter. Profit after tax, however, declined to INR 92 crore from INR 174 crore in the preceding quarter, showing that scale has not yet translated into stable sequential earnings.
The same quarter brought a 54 percent year-over-year increase in business-to-consumer net order value to INR 31,120 crore. Food delivery net order value reached INR 10,769 crore, while the segment's adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.6 percent of net order value, according to Zee Business.
Analysts see upside despite valuation
Goldman Sachs retained its Buy rating and raised its price target to INR 385 from INR 345 on September 29, 2026, according to Zee Business. The brokerage linked its view to Blinkit growth, food delivery market-share gains and a path toward USD 1 billion in EBITDA by FY29.
The wider consensus was also Buy, with 32 analysts and an average price target of INR 367.69, according to Stock Analysis. That target lies 12.08 percent above the INR 328.05 price, while the sequential profit decline remains the clearest counterweight to the growth narrative.
