Eternal Ltd. Q3 Earnings: Date Set Amid Profit Decline
Overview

Eternal Ltd., the parent company of Zomato, will announce its third-quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings on Wednesday, January 21. Investors will scrutinize revenue growth and profitability metrics. This announcement follows a prior quarter where profits fell significantly year-over-year, even as revenues surged. An earnings call will offer management commentary on the company's performance and future outlook.

Eternal Ltd. will convene its Board of Directors meeting on Wednesday, January 21, to approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ending December 31, 2025. Later that day, at 5 p.m. IST, the company will host an investor earnings call. Participants are required to pre-register for this call, which will feature management's insights and discussions on the Q3 performance.

Trading Window Restrictions

In adherence to SEBI's Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations, Eternal Ltd. has implemented a trading window closure. This restriction began on December 20 and will remain in effect for 48 hours following the financial results announcement. During this blackout period, designated persons, including directors, promoters, and senior management, are prohibited from trading the company's securities.

Q2 Performance Analysis

The upcoming Q3 results follow a mixed performance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. Consolidated revenue from operations saw a significant jump to ₹13,590 crore, a substantial increase from ₹4,799 crore in the prior year's comparable quarter. However, profitability declined, with net profit falling to ₹65 crore from ₹176 crore in Q2FY25. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA also experienced a 32% year-on-year decrease, settling at ₹224 crore compared to ₹330 crore.

Despite a 2.85% gain over six months and a 16.56% climb in the past year, year-to-date, the stock is down 1.53%. The shares closed at ₹279.45 on the NSE on Monday, a 2.87% decrease, underperforming the benchmark Nifty 50's 0.53% fall.
