Quick commerce still chaotic, no clear winners yet: Bernstein
Jignanshu Gor, Director and Senior Research Analyst at Bernstein believes that while players like Eternal, Zepto and Swiggy continue to grow, fresh aggression from Amazon and Flipkart is adding pressure. The market is evolving quickly, making it hard to predict who will dominate. Gor believes only a few strong players with solid finances and execution will survive in the long run. Among listed plays, Eternal stands out for its stronger financials and balance sheet in a volatile sector. Bernstein sees ₹5,000 as fair value for Avenue Supermarts, with steady earnings growth and margin expansion over the next 12 months.
