BNP Paribas sees 47% upside in Swiggy as quick-commerce loyalty gains focus
BNP Paribas' Rs 390 target implies 47% upside for Swiggy; its Rs 380 target implies 13% for Eternal. The broker says quick-commerce discounting is diverging as loyalty gains focus, while FMCG input-cost pressure could prompt further price hikes despite 2QFY27 sales-growth prospects.

Why it matters to operators and investors
The shift from discounting toward loyalty, alongside potential FMCG price hikes, could reshape quick-commerce competition and partnership opportunities.
What to watch next
- Repeat-order rates, orders per user, and customer retention by cohort.
- Promotion intensity and customer-acquisition spending relative to order growth.
- Contribution margin per order and delivery density at Swiggy and Eternal.
- FMCG price changes, pack-size changes, and reported volume growth.
- Management commentary and sales trends ahead of and during 2QFY27.
- Expect platforms to favor targeted loyalty and repeat-order incentives over blanket discounting, while competing selectively on high-frequency categories.
- Watch Swiggy for evidence that loyalty improves order frequency without a renewed rise in promotional intensity.
- Expect FMCG brands to weigh price increases or pack-size adjustments against the risk of weaker consumer volumes.
The counter-case
The 47% and 13% figures are price-target upside, not evidence that returns are likely. The thesis depends on loyalty translating into durable retention and better unit economics; discounting, customer-acquisition costs, fulfillment expenses, and competition could keep quick-commerce margins weak. FMCG price hikes may also hurt volumes or basket growth, undermining the sales outlook.
