Zomato share price tumbles 3% today as poor market run continues. What's next?
India TodayShares of food delivery giant Zomato extended their decline for the fourth consecutive session, falling over 3% in early trade on Wednesday. The ongoing slide in Zomato’s stock was triggered by a downgrade from foreign brokerage Jefferies, which changed its rating from “buy” to “hold.” The brokerage also slashed its target price by 18% to Rs 275, down from Rs 335, citing increased competition in the quick commerce segment. The firm flagged rising competition from Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, and Amazon as potential risks for Blinkit, Zomato’s quick commerce arm, which could pressure profitability. Meanwhile, Bernstein retained an “outperform” rating with a target price of Rs 335, praising Zomato’s leadership in food delivery and quick commerce. It initiated coverage on Zomato and Swiggy with “buy” ratings and target prices of Rs 385 and Rs 705, respectively, while acknowledging Swiggy’s ambitious expansion plans.
