Kotak on Eternal
- Retains buy cuts TP to Rs 375 vs Rs410 earlier
- High competitive intensity in QC continues
- Blinkit seems to be holding its ground on pricing, though perhaps at the cost of losing out on low AOV orders to peers
- We model this competitive intensity by assuming slower NOV growth of 70% yoy for Blinkit in FY2027.
- We believe most competitors are incurring large cash burns, which may not be sustainable
- Blinkit remains well-positioned to retain its position as the dominant QC player

- We believe most competitors are incurring large cash burns, which may not be sustainable
- Swiggy remains a high beta play and may see significant benefits on account of industry consolidation
Macquarie on L&T

JPMorgan on Metals
- Middle East conflict could have some implications for Indian metals and mining stocks

- Expect minimal supply chain disruption in coal because the Suez Canal now accounts for only 1% of seaborne met coal and thermal coal supply
- Anticipate minimal supply chain impact for steelmakers and limited upside risk for Coal India
CLSA on Middle East Crisis Impact
- A long drawn Middle East tension could lead to a higher crude oil prices for a prolonged period
- Metals – better placed: Rise in global energy prices would shift global cost of production higher
- Cement: Fuel costs are likely to rise as coal / petcoke used in kilns are largely imported
- Fuel costs account for 20%-25% of cost of production
- Every $10/T rise in coal/petcoke leads to Rs 40-50/T impact on EBITDA/T (4%-7%)
- Durables: Don’t see any direct impact except for Voltas as 20% of its projects orderbook is international
