Key things in focus in Q1 earnings

Other business segments: Other key revenue segments like Zomato (online food delivery segment) and District (going-out) segment will also remain in focus of investors as a healthy growth in segments can in turn support the earnings growth in the Q1 results.
Margins: Investors will monitor Eternal’s margins in the first quarter results as any change due to external or internal factors can potentially impact the operating margins in a particular period.
Management commentary: Like any other company, investors and analysts will focus on Eternal’s management commentary for the current financial year, and whether or not there are any changes in the guidance due to the operations and existing risks in the economy.
