Eternal Limited August 21 2026 Top Sensex Gainer Session

Eternal Limited

led the Sensex pack on August 21, 2026, gaining 0.72 per cent in early trade to emerge as the top gainer on the index even as Asian equities remained volatile following sharp falls in major US stock indices overnight. The Sensex recovered 163.35 points in the session, with Eternal, Sun Pharma, Titan Company, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bharat Electronics among the gainers. Infosys, TCS, Hindustan Unilever, Reliance Industries and UltraTech Cement ended among the losers on the same day. The August 21 session followed a week in which Eternal had already been among the top Nifty 50 gainers on August 19, rising 1.3 per cent on a day when the broader Nifty continued its losing streak under pressure from elevated crude and rising US bond yields. The stock's recovery arc over the past three months has been one of the more discussed stories on the index: - *52-week low: Rs 212.60* - *52-week high: Rs 368.45* - Current level as of August 21: approximately Rs 310, representing a 46 per cent recovery from the 52-week floor - Mutual fund shareholding: 31.68 per cent as of August 5, 2026 Q1 FY27 operating metrics: - Food delivery revenue: Rs 10,769 crore, up 20.1 per cent year on year - Monthly transacting users: 27.2 million - Net profit: Rs 92 crore, up 268 per cent year on year - *EBITDA: Rs 969 crore, up 106.6 per cent year on year* - Management has raised long-term quick commerce margin guidance to 6 per cent Market breadth on August 21 was positive at open, with 1,563 stocks advancing against 728 declining on the NSE, reflecting broader support even as large-cap IT names faced selling pressure. Eternal's outperformance on a day of mixed signals underlines the divergence between consumer-tech names and traditional IT exporters that has defined the index through much of August 2026.
