Loan growth remains strong at 29% year-on-year, with new business contributing 2-3%. However, margins are expected to stabilize as funding costs peak, although the mix will be unfavorable. Nuvama on Zomato: Buy | Target price: Rs 325 Nuvama has maintained a 'buy' rating on Zomato and increased the target price to Rs 325 from Rs 285.

Zomato continues to drive growth across its business, and Nuvama expects the addition of Blinkit dark stores to accelerate faster than initially anticipated. While profitability may be delayed due to higher upfront costs, Nuvama believes this is the right strategy in a competitive quick commerce market. Macquarie on Zomato: Underperform | Target price: Rs 100 Macquarie has maintained an underperform rating on Zomato with a target price of Rs 100.

The company has shown strong momentum, but there is no significant margin dilution at Blinkit. Food delivery margin expansion is lagging behind consensus expectations, and the QIP raises concerns about overall unit economics in the quick commerce industry amid increased competitive intensity.
