What Experts Say About Zomato Share Price
Following the release of the company’s better-than-expected Q1 scorecard, several brokerages boosted their target prices for Zomato shares and expressed bullish views on the stock.
Nuvama Wealth, a brokerage firm, kept a buy call on the stock and increased the target price from ₹245 to ₹285. Zomato is still fulfilling its promise of rapid growth and increased profitability, according to Nuvama.

Kotak reduced EPS (earnings per share) forecasts by 7-9 percent due to decreased Blinkit near-term profitability, while it increased Zomato’s FY25–27 revenue expectations by almost 4-5 percent due to increasing food delivery and Blinkit revenues.
Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers’ Senior Manager of Equity Research, Jigar S. Patel, noted that Zomato stock had a notable upswing over the previous two months, surpassing all major key moving averages, such as the 21-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day exponential moving averages (DEMA).
Patel emphasized that if the stock is trading much above these levels, it might be overextended and possibly vulnerable to a drop. A price correction is more likely in these circumstances since investors would start to take profits, which would increase selling pressure.
